How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first gem bonus, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total percent. Try Animate Guardian against Animate Weapon to see the 40 to 20 minion speed gap.
Rows use Superior default quality at 20 percent from the official Heist list. Alternate qualities like Anomalous and Divergent use different stats and stay out. Support gems, Vaal souls and level scaling sit outside quality math. Quality over 20 percent from corruption adds more but stays out of base rows. Omitted: gems where the Heist list lacks a clean percent cell, which would need patch notes to pin.
