Gear

Gear in Heroes of Dragon Age is used to improve the stats of heroes. It was introduced to Heroes of Dragon Age on November 1, 2016.

All heroes (except wisps) of Rare to Legendary rarity have between 1 and 4 gear slots, depending on rarity. Rare heroes have 1 slot, Epic have 2, and Legendary have 3--with an additional unlockable 4th slot. Legendary heroes can be upgraded to Mythic rarity via the use of a Tome of Ascencion, a rare gear item. Mythic status raises the level cap of the hero by 5, increases faction bonuses and squad faction bonuses, and also unlocks a 4th gear slot.
