The Oracle
The Oracle is the analytical mind at the heart of Path of Codex.
It goes beyond raw numbers — evaluating builds through context, archetypes, and real gameplay trade-offs.
How the engine works
Instead of asking "How much damage does this build have?", the Oracle asks:
"How well does this build perform in real content?"
Import Session
With each analysis, the Oracle injects your full configuration via GGG account.
Pattern Detection
The engine identifies your archetype, defense layers, and interactions between passives and items.
Verdict
You receive a weighted score, a Tier classification, and an improvement Roadmap.
The Four Pillars
Your final score (0–100) is a weighted evaluation across 4 axes — each reflecting a vital aspect of Path of Exile 2.
The Oracle as a Mentor
The Compare page is not just a table of numbers. The Oracle analyzes both sides and generates a verdict based on your current moment.
