Gear Equipment Strategy
HP Stacking for PvP
HP gives better boost and is generally better rounded than a straight magical or physical defense boost. HP boosts usually offer more stats and can help you to take additional hits from both magical and defense stats. However, the only downfall is that you may end up taking more damage than going defensive in dungeon adventure settings.
Luck for First Strike
In PvP and battle setting, it is important for you to get the first strike in the game. Some players stack some luck gears so that they can obtain first strike.
Some of the best setup is to equip your heroes with mixed gears that include both their relevant attack plus the luck stat.
Variable Defense Stacking
Stack members of your party with Pure Defense or Pure Magical may work under certain situations. However, this strategy is more risky as you never really know the opponent that you may face.
Full Offense Strategy
Best used if you have a rogue in your party for better chances of first strike. Your goal is to buff up your offense so much that you can take out enemies within the first round. In this game, the first strike usually equals to bringing down 1 or more enemies team members. Stacking all the offense that you can find. However, this strategy may be a little weaker against players who are full defense.
