PSA: If skipping maps on Standard, upgrade to appropriate rarity first

So, I was following the guide to converting (square-shaped) legacy Maps into Atlas progress, and from what I've observed, if you meet the Bonus Objective on the legacy (square) Map, then you complete the Bonus Objective for ALL the Maps you unlock on the path to it!!!

For example, my NE corner was empty other than a Desert Map (T1). I ran a legacy Rare Chateau Map, killed map Argus, and what did I see upon opening my Atlas? +10 Atlas Completion!! Holy crap. If you didn't know, completing legacy Chateau unlocks Courtyard and all the Maps pathing up to it, and apparently if you meet the bonus objective on the T10, you meet the bonus objective for the Maps on the path too.

Pretty frickin' sweet!! Personally, I'm not sure if I want to do this skip for SE corner or try to do it "organically." I accidentally unlocked W side of Atlas without completing Bonus Objective, so I'm going back and running all the lower Tier maps for the bonus objectives on them, and it's actually pretty cool to see new layouts and new boss mechanics.
