In Multiplayer, each hero has unique gear that they can equip in customization. Their armor and weapons are composed of three different pieces. The armor is made up of the Helm, Arms, and Chest. The weapon's pieces are dependent on the hero, as not all weapons have a blade, hilt, etc. Each of the three gear pieces that make up the armor and weapons have their own unique stats attributed to that piece alone.
Piece | Stat 1 | Stat 2 | Stat 3 |
Helm | Debuff Resistance | Revenge Mode Duration | Exhaustion Recovery |
Arms | Block Damage Resistance | Revive Speed | Stamina Regen |
Chest | Execution Health Regen | Block Damage | Sprint Speed |
Weapon Piece 1 | Attack | Defense | Stamina Cost Reduction |
Weapon Piece 2 | Throw Distance | Revenge Mode Attack | Revenge Gain by Injury |
Weapon Piece 3 | Feat Cooldown Reduction | Revenge Mode Defense | Revenge Gain by Defense |
Gear Ranks
So far, there are 3 known ranks of gear: common, rare, and heroic. The rank of the gear you obtain is dependent on your Reputation Level with the hero.
Reputation Level | Common Drops | Uncommon Drops |
0 | Common | Common |
1 | Common | Rare |
2 | Common | Rare |
3 | Rare | Heroic |
4 | ??? | ??? |
*It appears that as your reputation level increases past 3, it increases the rate at which Heroic gear drops, and decreases the rate at which Rare gear drops.
Common gear has an increase in one of the three stats that are attributed to the piece, with a decrease in the other two stats. Rare gear has an even further increase in one stat, and likewise a further decrease in the other two stats. Heroic gear, however, has two stats increased, one more so than the other, while the remaining stat is drastically decreased.
It is therefore recommended when building a hero that for each piece, you decide which of the three stats is most important, and which is the least important. The most important stat will then be the one that you look for the largest increase in, while the least important stat is the one you look for the largest decrease in.
For example, a player building an Orochi may decide that Attack is the most important stat of the Weapon Piece 1 (in Orochi's case, the Blade), and that Defense is the least important stat. When equipping common and/or rare gear, the player would then choose to equip the pieces that have Attack increased, with Defense decreased more so than Stamina Cost Reduction. When equipping heroic gear, the player would equip gear that has the greater increase in Attack, the lesser increase in Stamina Cost Reduction, and the decrease in Defense.
Gear Styles
There are many different appearances, or styles, of gear for each hero. The styles are completely cosmetic, and do not affect the stats of the armor/weapon piece. However, not all styles can be found as common ranked gear. Rare gear has new styles that could not be found as common gear, in addition to all of the styles that could be found as common gear. Heroic gear has new styles that could not be found as either common or rare gear, but also has all of the styles found as rare and common gear. Therefore, unless any new rank of gear is discovered, all styles can be found as heroic gear.
For example, the Kudo Hilt is a common style for an Orochi. However, the Kudo Hilt may also be found as rare or heroic gear. The Tamura Hilt is a rare style, but may also be found as heroic gear. The Ikaruga Hilt is a heroic style, and so may only be found as heroic gear.
Legendary Weapons
Each hero also has a matching set of legendary weapon pieces. They are marked by a white star to the right of their name, and can only be found as heroic gear. Note that these legendary weapons are a heroic style, and so have no effect on stats. Currently there is only one set of legendary weapon pieces per hero. There are also no known legendary armor sets at this time.
