New players are always confusing about how to choose equipment. Before we answer this question, we’d like to talk about the factors that influence equipment choice.
All the equipment can be divided into the following types: construction, researching, healing, resources, training, combat, and marching.
You can just equip your Lord according to the situations.
As for the equipment of heroes, we need to choose equipment according to the type of each hero. You can check the skills and talent to see the type of each hero.
Now, let’s talk about the equipment matching and choice. Equipment Set In the game, equipment set is a good choice for the players who just begin playing the game and the players who just don’t want to spend too much time. Simple, direct, effective!
The first topic is the equipment set that meets different needs!
1. Construction
Time Traveler Set is very effective for Lv. 19 and lower castle! It’s cheap, at the same time, it can save you many resources! It can be equipped when you reach Lv. 5. It’s highly recommended in early developing period. 
After castle reaching Lv. 19, Royal Set will be a good choice. A blue Royal Set is enough. It can be equipped when you reach Lv. 25. If you want, you can also synthesize it to purple ones.
The Creator Set is the exclusive set for the Creator. It’s a very strong set that can save you many resources. It’s recommended to get 1 Creator Set if you can.
2. Researching
Except for building speedup, Royal Set also provide a considerable researching speed bonus.
3. Healing
Life Set can increase the attributes related to the Hospital; it can also be reformed to Rebirth Set, which is even more effective!
4. Training and resources
The Prosperity Set can meet your needs on both training and resources. If you want to train a huge number of soldiers in a short period, it will save you many resources and much time; the Prosperity Set even provide some combat attribute bonuses. It is recommended!
5. Marching
Governor Set is the most commonly used set of increasing march size and rally upper limit. It is very helpful on increase rally upper limit, while it’s expensive. In the game, players choose different qualities of Governor Set, including white, green, and blue. You can choose the quality of Governor Set according to your needs.
6. Combat
The Archangel Set is everyone’s final goal of combat equipment, just try to get it!
Before getting an Archangel Set, the Arctic Set helps much. The Arctic Set can improve the attack of defense of each soldier. It’s not too difficult to get gold Arctic Set.
Non-set equipment
There are too much non-set equipment, so we are not going to discuss each piece of non-set equipment. Instead, we will talk about how to use them. Matching non-set equipment with the set equipment will be a good choice for the players who are willing to study equipment to maximize attributes. The disadvantage of equipment is that the equipment set of top quality is always very expensive. Compared to the set equipment, it’s easier to obtain the non-set equipment of top quality.
Let’s give an example on matching equipment.
Take researching attribute as an example, equipping a whole set of gold Royal Set can increase your researching speed by 112%. But equipping Blade of Honor, Gaiter of Honor, Prosperity Dragon Helmet, Royal Gown, Swift Boots and Ring of Life can increase your researching speed by 122.1% (all gold equipment).
Ignoring Equipment Evolution, the later equipment matching will provide more researching speed bonus than a whole set of Royal Set.
Matching non-set equipment and equipment of different sets can maximize a single attribute. It can provide extreme attribute and ignore others.
At the same time, the non-set equipment has its own disadvantages, they won’t get any evolution bonus; they can only provide single attribute; it’s very inconvenient when you are equipping and changing, even if there’s a fast switch function.
In conclusion, equipment set is very simple, clear, and effective for most players. Matching non-set equipment and set equipment requires a certain understanding on the game, and it will be troublesome when you changing equipment. Experienced players can have a try.
