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 special stats
- Blue gear can have up to 3 special stats
- Purple gear can have up to 4 special stats
- Legendary gear has higher % special 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.
About gear rerolling
They recently introduced a new item in the exchange shop that allows you to reroll stats in your gear, 
Stat Reroll Ticket Stat Reroll Ticket Description A ticket used for modifying the special stats of equipment. Using it will give you the option to change all the special stats of the selected equipment. .
It’s completely random and you can go from 2 lines to 4 or the opposite, bricking pieces of gear easily.
I would just save them for now until you have enough to reroll a good piece.
Different types of stats
Main stats
These are your usual flat stats that most games have. Item level, HP, attack, etc can be found here.
Unique stats
Unique stats can include not only flat but also % stats and more importantly, skills.
Anytime you see skills on an item, please check them since some can be really good even if the other stats are not desirable.
Special stats
Random stats that are different depending on the piece of gear and rarity. You can rerroll these stats.
Stat priority
If two units are using their Ultimates at the same time, the one with higher priority will use it first.
Purely a PvP stat, so you can just ignore it.
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% is used for bosses at endgame to bypass their innate damage reduction
Developers keep adding more and more gear that gives crit chance, so Crit Damage% is becoming more and more important over time.
Armors
Early/mid-game: Critical Resistance Increase% > Defense% = Block Chance Increase%
Endgame: Defense% > Critical Resistance Increase% = 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
- Endgame gear has plenty of Crit resistance built-in as passive stats, so you can focus on defense% for tankier units
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 special 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 Crown of the Dead Main Stats Item Level: 180HP: 6019Attack: 728 Unique Stats Critical Hit Chance: 10%Status Effect Resistance: 10%Damage Reduction: 5% - Healers: Healing Increase% is perfect, but hard to come by. Good item example:
Healing Goddess Statue Healing Goddess Statue Main Stats Item Level: 160HP: 5347Attack: 647 Unique Stats Healing: 10%Status Effect Resistance: 10%Damage Reduction: 5% - Tanks: Damage Reduction%, Damage Reflect, HP% and DEF%. Good item example:
Aegis Aegis Main Stats Item Level: 137HP: 4574Attack: 553 Unique Stats Damage Reflect: Reflect 15% of your ATKStatus Effect Resistance: 10%Damage Reduction: 5%
Runes
Runes can only get 4 stats; Priority, HP, HP% and Critical Damage Increase%.
- Damage dealers: Critical Damage Increase% takes priority
- Tanks: HP% will increase their chances of surviving
- Supports: Depends on their skills, so please read their kit kekw
