What do all the stats mean?

I don't really understand what every equipment stat does exactly and im having trouble deciding what to use. Some are very straightforward like vengeance mode duration on helmets but some have names that doesnt make clear what they do. Any help with all gear stats and what they actualy do?


Solution 1:

You can build most stats on most heroes. There are obviously heroes that benefit more from a certain stat.

There are some stats that are pretty safe to build on every hero:
Attack, Defense and Revive Speed are good examples to this. They are equally strong on pretty much all different champions.

Now depending on your hero and/or playstyle you can go for some other stats. If you play a conqueror with a very defensive playstyle you might want to go for all the revenge mode modifiers that make you stronger, the more you defend.

On an aggressive hero that frequently uses infinite chains (Berserker for example) the stamina boosting stats might be a good idea.

In the end the stats you chose depend on your personal playstyle more than on the hero. If you play a Peacekeeper and you rely on blocking/parrying/deflecting all the time maybe a Revenge build might be better than a movement speed one.
