:SetAsync() v.s. :UpdateAsync() which one should I use?!

Similar threads have already been made on this subject, I suggest you use the search bar next time.

How would I go about using UpdateAsync over SetAsync?

pre-edit so colbert's post still makes sense

UpdateAsync isn’t inherently a better function to use. You should only use it if you’re going to compare the old value to the new value. An example of this being useful is for values like levels and achievements that should never go down, only up. (This is assuming no rebirth system or similar; the exact examples of levels and achievements might not apply to your game.) You could compare the old value to make sure it’s less than the new value, and…

A good answer to the question nonetheless ^.
