Upgrade Logic (General)

Most weapon stats use one of these:

• Increase type: value goes up linearly per level
• Decrease type: value goes down linearly per level (used for cooldowns)
• Array type: fixed step values per level (common for count/pierce-style stats)

Upgrade costs are weapon-specific and scale by their configured cost formulas (linear tiered or stepped, depending on the stat).
