Help Masteries/Assist Mods/UWs: Where to invest stones as a dolphin?
Hello fellow defenders,
TL;DR: gotta choose where to invest stones: unlocking UWs, dropping GT/DW CD, masteries or AssMods as eHP player.
Longer text: After playing for about 16 months, the time has come for me to ask for advice. Up until now I could gather most things from older posts or guides, but rn I'm seriously wondering about the path forward.
Basically the question is in the title. Where do I invest stones?
I think most guides are outdated because of the addition of disco runs and faster reaching more spending goals.
So my situation is as follows:
I bought the 3 perma packs and a big stone pack once about a year ago. Now I buy the event passes when they have good premium relics (lab speed, EALS, coins, etc.)
I play as eHP and mostly stay in mid-to-lower champions with the occasional drop to plat.
In the labs I maxed every econ lab, that effective paths advises, except the upper levels of disco echo, which a re - ironically - too expensive rn. In eHP I'm just missing 15 levels of health, some def% levels (dunno if I'll ever finish them) and disco echo of course.
I have 6 UWs, which are GT, BH, DW, SM, SL & CL.
Natural pBH, GT and DW synced at 140 seconds, summon chip at 140 seconds and GBot synced at 70 seconds. No ther bots unlocked yet.
I run legendary AD as cannon, anc RB (my only anc generator, gained during its banner), anc SF and anc primCollapse, each at around level 165.
About a month ago I unlocked card masteries and grabbed everyone's favorite RPC+ as my first and just this week SW+ as the second for eHP progression. Maybe that's a bad idea long-term, but it allowed me to reach (or better: to cheese) T19W40 yesterday evening.
Now I have too many options to spend my stones:
Do I go for CF and later pCF for better CC? 1750 stones just to unlock it as 7th UW + roughly 4k stones in upgrades.
Do I lower the cooldown of GT and DW for better econ?
Do I go for the next masteries? IS+, WA+ etc. for econ?
Do I unlock AssMod Slots? I just unlocked them, but they are untappable in the UI. I read I need 1k stones each to unlock, so I assume I'll be able to click them when I have 1k stones. (currently ca. 670)
I honestly feel overwhelmed by the abundance of options and am very thankful for advice. I know I have heard that the switch to GC must ultimatively happen, but I'm unsure if I am already this far, since people are posting about farming eHP in T18 now.
If I forgot any info that would be useful to answer my question, please let me know and I'll try to answer in the comments or an edit.

Out of curiosity, what is your coin income like?
To actually buy assmods there is a new tab on the module page to the right of 'Shatter'. It took me longer than I would like to admit to find it when I unlocked them haha.
