Help me understand how the post 50 incarnate level shifts work

[DrBasics]

So I was under the impression that getting your alpha slot up to at least tier 3 gives you a (+1). Then I saw that if you get Judgement up to at least tier 3, you get another +1 level shift (making you 50+2). And again, getting Interface to at least tier 3 will give you your final +1 level shift. Am I totally off?

Alpha (T3 or T4) gives you a +1 shift that's active all the time.

 

Destiny (T3 or T4) and Lore (T3 or T4) both give you an additional +1 that's active in iTrials and some zones (Pocket D and Ouroboros, at least).

What he said. The +1 shift comes into play at all times, but the +2 or +3 level shift only comes into play for Incarnate content like Dark Astoria missions and Incarnate trials/TF's. It can be a nasty shock running at +3 and raising the difficulty to match, then forgetting to drop it down when you go into "normal" content 🙂
