 ## Strategy profile
 
-The first version includes an adjustable strategy profile:
+The app includes two adjustable strategy profiles:
 
-- Balanced
-- Damage focused
-- Survivability focused
-- Skill focused
+- Lifesteal: prioritizes DPS and lifesteal-based healing.
+- Regen: prioritizes health and health-regeneration based healing.
 
-Each profile changes effect weights used for recommendations. These weights are intentionally transparent in the code so they can be tuned as better Forge Master formulas become known.
+Each profile changes effect weights used for sacrifice scoring and tie-breaking. DPS-based upgrade recommendations still use the current build math directly.

+## Regen metric
+
+The Regen card estimates healing from both sources:

+regen = max health * health regen% + DPS * lifesteal%

+The displayed breakdown separates health regen from lifesteal healing.
