Weapons Helmets Armors Accessories

All weapons and some accessories influence the amount of damage your units can deal to enemies, while armors, helmets, and most accessories mitigate the damage your units receive from enemy attacks. Equipment pieces are divided into levels. The higher the level, the higher the stats they’ll be able to give your unit. Although do note that your units cannot equip gears with a higher level than what your unit is leveled up to.

What is Equipment Used For?

Equipping a weapon, armor, helmet, plus accessories onto a unit boosts their defensive and offensive stats. Doing this allows that specific unit to tackle more dangerous higher-level opponents. In general, it’s better to keep the level of your equipment on par with your opponent’s level to keep your unit from struggling to deal damage or dying too quickly.

One of the most important things to consider when choosing equipment is the type of stat boosts they’ll provide, and the role of the unit you’re trying to gear up. Here are the stats that I recommend you prioritize for each role:
