Weapons Overview
  • Various: Katanas, Dual Pistols, Cannons, Scythes, etc.
    Each playable Construct has their own unique weapon type. Players can obtain a variety of 4-star, 5-star, and 6-star weapons through the gacha system or by crafting. 6-star weapons are signature to a specific Construct and provide powerful, unique passive abilities.
  • One-Handed Weapons: Claws, Daggers, Wands, Swords, Axes, Maces
    A wide variety of weapons that can be dual-wielded or used with a shield. Each weapon type has its own implicit properties and benefits from different parts of the passive skill tree.
  • Two-Handed Weapons: Bows, Staves, Swords, Axes, Maces
    Weapons that require both hands, generally offering higher base damage or more linked sockets at the cost of being unable to use a shield.
  • Shields: Armour, Evasion, Energy Shield, or Hybrid
    Off-hand items that provide defensive stats and a chance to block attacks. They can also have powerful explicit mods, making them a key piece of gear for many builds.
Armor / Gear Sets
  • Memories: The primary way to build characters. Each Construct can equip a set of six 'Memories'. These items provide base stats (like HP and ATK) and powerful set bonuses (at 2, 4, or 6 pieces) that are crucial for a character's performance. They are the equivalent of 'Artifacts' or 'Stigmata' in similar games.
  • Body Armour, Helmets, Gloves, Boots: The four primary slots for defensive gear. Armor pieces provide a base defense type (Armour for physical reduction, Evasion for dodging, Energy Shield as a magical health pool) and are a primary source of sockets for skill gems.
  • Accessories: Amulets, Rings, and Belts. These items do not provide base defenses but are crucial for obtaining offensive and defensive stats, such as resistances, life, damage, and critical strike chance.
Outfits/Customization
  • Coatings: Purely cosmetic outfits for the playable Constructs. Coatings can be purchased with premium currency, earned through in-game events, or unlocked via a special gacha system. They range from casual wear to elaborate, high-fantasy designs.
  • Cosmetic Microtransactions: The primary form of character customization. Players can purchase a vast array of cosmetic armor sets, weapon effects, character effects, footprints, portals, and hideout decorations to completely change their character's appearance without affecting gameplay stats.
