In Dragon Ball Legends, there are different ways and strategies you can use to dominate the battlefield, especially when you are facing another player in combat.
But given that all characters are strong and great in their own ways, making their skills and potential shine even brighter lies in your hand by forming the best-matched allies with their corresponding synergies. Not only that but units can improve their stats and get stronger as an individual with the correct choice of equipment to use.
Start up your Dragon Ball Legends journey by grabbing one of these Dragon Ball Legends accounts for sale as we take you to this guide about the best equipment for Dragon Ball Legends characters.
What is Equipment in Dragon Ball Legends
You might have already encountered these small portraits that somewhat resemble a badge with various icons and frame colors. These are called the equipment.
The equipment is the type of item that you can attach to particular Dragon Ball Legends characters. Think of it as the item builds that you set for your characters in a multiplayer battle arena or MOBA game. They are closely similar to active item builds that both enhance the unit’s stats and allow the unit to have another active skill. Because of its function, the choice of equipment plays a very crucial role in the performance of the character during combats.
Now, here is to give you a clearer view of the equipment functions: these items usually provide stat increase, particularly with the damage output of units to specific character tags, giving a great defense, and additional unique skill as mentioned.
However, one common misconception about the use of these items is the critical buffs. The truth is that equipment cannot significantly increase a unit with the critical rate and critical damage. It is better to choose a different item that provides pure buffs than this.
How to Choose Equipment
Before showing you some of the recommended equipment to give your units, let us first show you how you can choose equipment for each of your units.
First, go to Menu > Characters > Party Formation.
There, you will see all your party lineups. Choose which one to modify and it will take you to a panel that shows you slots numbered 1 to 3. The first thing you have to do is select the character you want to edit the equipment attached, then click the slot, and choose the equipment you want to place on the slot.
Initially, each unit can only accommodate three equipment. But as you reach a higher class and perform soul boosts, you can unlock more equipment slots which can be helpful by adding more equipment per unit.
But before you choose the equipment you want for your character, you have to be mindful of the conditions that need to be met. Here are some of the equipment conditions you have to remember:
- Equipment of the same name cannot be used twice on the same unit.
- Some equipment can only be used for particular character tags.
- Limit break requirements of some equipment
