Gear rarity

Lost Sword gear system is like any other RPG; from white for trash gear all the way to yellow for legendary.

• Green gear can have up to 2 stats
• Blue gear can have up to 3 stats
• Purple gear can have up to 4 stats
• Legendary gear has higher % stats and up to 4 lines

We don’t recommend upgrading every single piece of gear unless you’re a new player and have nothing else to equip.

If you get at least 2 good lines, you can upgrade that piece to use until something better drops. Min maxing gear in this game takes ages so be patient.

Stat priority

You can completely ignore flat stats. They don’t scale well considering the numbers you can see in this game so % will always be better.

Also please remember this is only a reference. Each character is different and will require stats based on their skills.

Weapons

ATK% >= Crit Damage% > Ignore Damage Reduction%

• Everything in this game benefits from ATK%. Your damage and even your heals scale with it
• Crit Damage% is important only if you can get a high crit chance (>50%)
• Ignore Damage Reduction%, it doesn’t have a lot of use for now

Armors

Critical Resistance Increase% >>> Defense% > Block Chance Increase%

• Critical Resistance Increase% will save your character from boss one-shots and a lot of annoying mechanics
• In my opinion defense still takes priority over block chance, but both of them are worse than crit resistance

Trinkets

For trinkets main stats are more important than special stats.

When it comes to special stats, anything with % (pretty sure you can only get HP in the case of trinkets).

The important part is the main stats depending on the item. As a general reference:

• Damage dealers: you want Crit Chance%, Crit Damage% and/or ATK%. Good item example: Crown of the Dead
• Healers: Healing Increase% is perfect, but hard to come by. Good item example: Healing Goddess Statue
• Tanks: Damage Reduction%, Damage Reflect, HP% and DEF%. Good item example: Aegis

Runes

Runes can only get 4 stats; Priority, HP, HP% and Critical Damage Increase%.

• Damage dealers / Supports: Critical Damage Increase% takes priority
• Tanks: HP% will increase their chances of surviving

What about priority?

It’s a PVP stat. You can completely ignore it in my opinion.

It will allow your units to use their skills faster than your opponent (ONLY IN PVP).

Considering some of the lines you can get are pretty good, this is by far the worst stat you can get on any piece of gear.
