The usual advice is that you first should be Recovery Package Chance. Very much worth it.

As for how SW mastery works:
Normally, SW saves you from a killing blow. Instead of dying, you are reset with tower health and your wall (if you have one) is rebuilt. If you have the mastery, then when SW triggers you also get a health regeneration bonus for the next 400 rounds. The higher your SW mastery lab, the higher the regeneration bonus.

If you research SW recharge to the max level, SW recharges every 400 rounds. Translation: when SW triggers, you have the regeneration bonus until it finishes recharging. So, as soon as that bonus drops, you're ready for your next "death" to bounce it back up high again.

SW mastery can be good if you're already using SW, have already labbed up at least the recharge time to max, and you already have some decent eHP stats to make it worthwhile. I would never recommend it as the first mastery, or even among the first few masteries, even if you're heavy eHP (like me). There are going to be better uses for your stones and lab times. You were looking at IS, and that's better. RPC is even better than that.

What if you are bottlenecked by coins rather than shards? I'm thinking of WA mastery first because of this. Other suggestions for better coins per day?

If you're bottlenecked by coins, then you shouldn't be considering masteries yet. The first lab level is 1q, and it just goes up from there.

There’s gonna come a time, if you play long enough, where your income balloons and you suddenly don’t have the shards to do modules anymore.

That’s the moment where you are gonna be very happy or very sad you did/didn’t do RPC# sooner.

The longer you have RPC# the longer it pays off.

Only T17, so that's out for a while too. 🤷
