Choose Equipment

This is a guide to complete all set-up guides on the wiki. While set-up guide recommend a type of equipment this guide give the generals rules to choose the best equipment of a certain type.


In this guide when talking about equipment "stat" it's in a wider range than usual for the following reasons:

  • When talking about a stat of an equipment this include most of the time Fit bonus (both visible and invisible) and Improvement Improved stats.
  • Some modifiers and mechanics may also be included.


For the purpose of this guide the equipment "stats" have been arbitrarily dispatch into 3 categories:

  • Primary stats: This is the stats that influence the effectiveness of the equipment in its main purpose
  • Secondary stats: This is stats that influence the effectiveness of the equipment in other purpose than its main one.
  • Bonus stats: All the other stats. These stats doesn't influence the effectiveness of the equipment.


The rules for choosing an equipment are as follow:

  1. Take the equipment with the highest primary stats
  2. If two equipments have the same primary stats take the one with the highest Secondary stats
  3. Bonus stats can be ignored when choosing an equipment.
