Gear

TL:DR Summary: Gear only matters on the Primary commander, so your goal should be to fill every Gear SLOT on all of your Wartime Primary Commanders and then upgrade as you go.

1)   Gear only takes affect on the Primary Commander in each march; don’t waste crafting gear and putting on secondary commanders

2)   Only put gear on your commanders that give them needed stats based on their march type.  No reason to put archer chest gear on your cavalry march.  If you don’t need that chest for an archer march, dismantle it to get the materials back.

3)   Gear is very much about finding Value:  The White Iron Helm gives the same Infantry attack (3%) as the Purple Abyssal Visage but requires 7200% fewer materials!

a.   Start by making white gear for the stats you need for your march.

b.   Then Find other values of Green and Blue Gear for other slots.

c.   Finish out marches with Purple and Gold only where it’s a big upgrade compared to white/green/blue.

4)   If you have a lot of blueprints, dismantle your gear and forge again until you get the extra stats.  You get all of your materials back from dismantling anything other than Legendary (gold) gear.  It just costs Blueprints and Gold.

a.   My Cavalry march has an extra 10.5% total stats JUST from the extra stats.

5)   Below are Pictures for Moderate Gear for each troop type (Archer, Infantry, Cavalry).
