The final aspect which affects your team's strength is the gear pieces which your heroes have equipped.
There are four types of basic gear:
- Helmets;
- Chest pieces;
- Gloves;
- Boots;
Each type of gear comes in various tiers. Improving your gear's tier is similar to merging heroes. In the forge menu, 3 identical pieces of gear can be sacrificed to create a higher tier piece.
After reaching level 100, your heroes can also equip relics, which are special, powerful pieces of gear. Alike basic gear, relics have a rarity tier, depending on their strength, as well as a level. Leveling up a relic can be done by sacrificing other relics.
