Reduce incoming damage / Armor = reduces physical damage taken
Increase defensive capability / Defense = reduces physical damage and tactic attack damage taken
Increased tactic defense / Control = reduces damage taken from tactic attacks

Increased attack damage / Damage = increases physical damage dealt
Increase attack capability / Attack = increases physical damage and tactic attack damage dealt
Increased tactic attack / Strong = increases damage dealt with tactic attacks

Increase number of troops / Valor = increases number of troops


Q.: So which refines are the best ?
A.: Generals with terrain bonus do often better if you give them gear with defensive refines, reduce incoming damage / Armor would be the best stat for that.

Increased tactic defense / Control is pretty much worthless for most scenarios because the first 3 opponent generals kill 1 row with their tactic attack if not blocked,
unless you stack a lot tactic defense, but it would not be worth it because you would lose a lot of better stats.

Generals which hit many rows with their tactic attacks work good with some attack capability,
but you should not stack too much tactic attack for scenarios.
Because the opponents in scenarios have a lot of troops, you can?t blow them up with 1 strong tactic attack and
your general will get trashed afterwards, since his hits will be weak and he misses defensive stats.


Q.: Can any gear get 4x level 5 refines ?
A.: Only EPIC purple gear ( purple gear with 3 stars ). ( it even says epic on the shop )


Q.: How does an epic purple item with 3 stars get 4 stars ?
A.: A purple item turns to 4x level 5 after you have 3x the same level 5 refine.


Q.: I got purple items with 4x level 5 tactic defense / tactic attack, should I refine them again ?
A.: Hell, no. Tactic defense is a very good stat for pvp and in some scenarios 1 general with tactic attack / attack capability items can do wonders,
but generals with terrain bonus often do better with defensive items.
Because of this, It makes sense to get more than 4 sets of epic purple gear, so you can refine the sets you do not wear without worrying about the gear you wear right now.
After your extra gear gets better refines, you can just switch them out and refine the old gear.

If you have an item with 4x level 5 tactic defense and no extra item with better stats, you can just refine them once before you try a scenario.
After you are done, you can get the 4x5 tactic defense back if you go to the refine menu and click on the arrow under the slot with the 4th refine.
This option will change the item back to the last 4x5 stats if it ever had any.
( There is a small chance that the item turns from 4x5 to another 4x5, as far as I know you cannot change it back to the old 4x5 in this case. )




Q.: Gear with 4x level 5 stats are often the best, should I go for them right away and ignore the other gear ?
A.: NO. It takes forever to get 1 item to 4x level 5 with normal refines. I suggest that you try to get all items to 3x level 3 at the beginning, this goes quite fast normally.
After this, you can start going for the higher refine levels.
Diamond refines are way more powerful, your gear levels way faster if you use them, but they cost 5 dias per refine.
Since you get 5 ? 125 dias with your daily roll ( mostly 5 ), I spend 5 of them for 2 iron prayers and the rest for refining.


Q.: What about the extra troops refine ?
A.: I do not like it. You survive a bit longer, but it costs more food and I think other defensive stats are better.


Q.: Attack damage ?
A.: I don?t have an item with 4x5 attack damage, I have to test it out first if I ever get one.


Refine Event:
Around every 7 days ( it varies a little bit ), gives us a possibility to make our gear better.
It lasts 2 days and gives us extra uber refines, which well be placed in your warehouse if you do not use them during the event for later use ( ! ).
And the best is, you can get the first uber refine if you refine 25x during the specific days, which you can reach even without spending money.
The counter resets at 0:00 server time, so you have the chance to get 2x the first uber refine.
Between 0:00 and 23:59 you get 24 refines, 1 for each hour. Since you can only stack up 12, make sure to use them before you would get the 13th.
The 25th refine costs 5 dias, but since you get at least 5 dias each day, you do not have to spend any money for it.
( You might miss the 2 iron prayers because of this, but it is totally worth. )
If you have free refines left ( the REFRESH x10 ones ), they do not count for the refine event.

The first uber refine ups each refine level by 1 for one item, max. level 5.
This means, if you have an item with 3x reduce damage, you can turn it into a 4x level 5 reduce damage with some uber refines!
Works for all the other stats too of course.


One last information :

Even if you get an item to 3x level 5, the chance of getting 3x same should be 7/7? , which is around 2%. So do not get frustrated.
