Gear that grows with the tower
Your hero wears four pieces: a helmet, armor, a weapon and a charm. Each slot has its own main stat, and the rarity decides how much of it you get. Try a set on the right and watch the damage bar.
Free on iPhone and Android. Gear comes from chests in the tower, the season and the tournament.
- Sturdy
- Trophy
- Trophy
- Plain
The slot sets the stat, the rarity sets the size
The weapon adds damage, the armor adds health, the helmet adds time, and the charm adds loot. Every item also carries a smaller second stat. On armor it is always damage, so damage comes from exactly two slots.
There are four rarities: Plain, Sturdy, Trophy and Legendary. A full Plain set fills 40% of the tower’s ceiling, Sturdy 70%, Trophy all of it. Legendary goes a quarter past that, and each legendary piece you wear lifts the ceiling by 6.25%.
Starter gear adds nothing. It is the bare hero the rest of the game is balanced against.

No chest is wasted
A duplicate turns into shards. In the workshop, shards craft the item you choose, so a run of bad luck still adds up to the piece you wanted.
Every item carries the tier of the tower it came from. The workshop can upgrade an item’s tier for shards and crystals, up to the tower your hero stands on. Boss set pieces stay at their own tower’s tier.
Gear, answered
Keys, duplicates, tiers and legendary items.
What if I don’t have the right key?
Every chest has its own key. Without it, the chest still opens straight away for crystals.
What happens to duplicates?
A duplicate becomes shards. In the workshop you spend shards to craft the item you pick yourself, or to upgrade an item you already have.
Is a piece from the first tower useless later?
An item carries the tier of the tower it came from, and its bonuses grow with that tier. A duplicate from a higher tower raises the tier of the one you have, and the workshop can upgrade it up to the tower your hero is on.
Where do legendary items come from?
Only from legendary chests: the season path and the tournament. Each legendary piece you wear also lifts the ceiling on your total bonus.
Your first chest is two fights away
