Equipping the right gear in Godforge is essential for maximizing your heroes’ strength and progressing through tougher challenges. This comprehensive guide explains every aspect of the Godforge gear system: gear types, stats, rarity, quality, attunement, set effects, farming locations, and more. If you’re new or want to optimize your heroes for endgame, this guide is for you.
Gear Slots and Stat Breakdown
Gear is equipped on six hero slots, and each slot rolls certain key stats. Here’s a fuller breakdown with examples:
| Gear Piece | Possible Main Stats | Possible Flat Main Stats |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Resistance, Accuracy, Initiative, Crit Rate | Flat HP, Flat ATK, Flat DEF |
| Chest | Resistance, HP%, DEF%, ATK% | Flat HP, Flat ATK, Flat DEF |
| Shoulders | Crit Damage, HP%, ATK%, DEF% | Flat HP, Flat ATK, Flat DEF |
| Gauntlets | Crit Damage, Crit Rate, Accuracy, ATK% | Flat HP, Flat ATK, Flat DEF |
| Legs | Speed, HP%, ATK%, DEF% | Flat HP, Flat ATK, Flat DEF |
| Boots | Speed, Initiative, ATK%, DEF% | Flat HP, Flat ATK, Flat DEF |
Tip: Speed can be rolled on both legs and boots, enabling flexible builds for either raw initiative gain or consistent action speed.
Gear Rarity and Substats
Godforge gear comes in five rarity tiers:
- Common: No substats
- Uncommon: 1 substat
- Rare: 2 substats
- Epic: 3 substats
- Legendary: 4 substats
Higher rarity = more substats = better optimization.
Why care? Substats provide multipliers, like Speed, extra Crit, HP%, DEF%, or other boosts. Legendary gear lets your character shine brighter.
Gear Quality: Roman Numerals (Stars)
The quality of gear is shown by Roman numerals I–V (1–5) in the top right corner of the gear icon:
- I (1): Damaged (Worst)
- II (2): Crude
- III (3): Superior
- IV (4): Flawless
- V (5): Masterwork (Best)
The main stat value is higher on better-quality gear. For example:
- 1★ piece at +4 gives ~10% ATK
- 2★ at same +4 gives ~15% ATK
- 3★, 4★, 5★ scale even higher
Recommendation: Don’t invest resources in upgrading 1★ pieces unless desperate. Focus on upgrading 4★ and 5★ gear for long-term power.
Gear Types and Attunement
Each gear piece comes in a type that can attune to specific type of hero. When you attune gear to a hero in Godforge, each piece of correct gear type (matching their class/archetype) provides unique, stacking bonuses. Below is a clear table summarizing the attunement effect for every major hero type:
| Hero Type | Gear Type Required | Bonus Per Attuned Piece | Total (6-Piece) Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defender | Plate | 1% Damage Reduction (from hits) | 6% Less Damage Taken |
| Invoker | Cloth | 1% Outgoing Healing & Turn Meter | 6% More Heals & TM Boosts |
| Brawler | Chain Mail | 0.5% All Stats (ATK, HP, DEF, etc.) | 3% All Stats |
| Disruptor | Nightweave | 1% Ignore Resistance | 6% Resistance Penetration |
| Slayer | Leather | 1% Bonus Damage | 6% Increased Damage |
In Alpha Build, attunement is not enabled, but when released, matching the right type to the right class will provide additional bonuses.
Gear Set Bonuses in Godforge
Set bonuses are special effects or stat boosts that activate when you equip a specific number of gear pieces from the same set on one hero. Here’s how they work and how you can use them for maximum benefit:
How Set Bonuses Work
- Most sets activate their bonus when you equip 2 or 4 pieces from the same set. For example, a “Slayer” set bonus requires equipping two or four Slayer pieces (any gear slot) on a single hero. 2 set gives ATK +15% and if 4 then other bonus
- The set bonus effect stacks only once per hero—wearing 6 pieces of one set usually provides just the 2/4-piece bonus, not a double bonus.
- Switching out a piece for another set disables all or part of the existing bonus.
