Overview
Hero Gear is the single biggest power multiplier in Kingshot. Unlike heroes that depreciate every generation (80 days), your gear investment transfers permanently to new heroes. This makes gear the most future-proof investment in the game.
Upgrade Order
The optimal gear upgrade priority follows one simple rule: Infantry Health → Archer Lethality → Cavalry Lethality.
| Priority | Gear Piece | Troop | Stat | Target Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Infantry Shroud | Infantry | Health | 100 → Red 200 |
| #2 | Infantry Gloves | Infantry | Health | 100 → Red 200 |
| #3 | Marksman Faceplate | Archer | Lethality | 100 → Red 200 |
| #4 | Marksman Riders | Archer | Lethality | 100 → Red 200 |
| #5 | Lancer Armet | Cavalry | Lethality | 100 → Red 200 |
| #6 | Lancer Gauntlets | Cavalry | Lethality | 100 → Red 200 |
Gear Tiers
Gear progresses through several tiers: Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Mythic (Level 1-100) → Red Gear (Level 100-200). Red Gear requires Mithril, a rare end-game resource. Each tier provides increasingly powerful stat bonuses.
