Fate War Equipment and Forging Guide: Best Gear, Advice & More

Hello Players! Equipment is one of the most important long-term progression systems in Fate War, but higher rarity does not automatically mean an item should replace your current gear. For most players, the best Fate War equipment progression is to choose a permanent Commander first, build a complete Elite set with useful attributes, and replace those pieces with developed Legendary and Glorious equipment over time. Forging requires the same level of resource discipline. Random forging can give equipment that does not fit your main Commander, so spending Gems without a clear target can quickly become inefficient.

This Fate War Equipment and Forging guide explains how to choose gear, use forging efficiently, select reforge stats, compare Elite and Legendary equipment, and prepare Glorious equipment for your main march.

 

How Does Equipment Work in Fate War?

The most important rule in Fate War equipment progression is to build gear around your Commander rather than simply collecting the highest rarity available. Elite equipment is easier to obtain and develop, which makes it extremely useful throughout early and mid-game progression. A developed Elite item with useful attributes can remain better than a newly obtained Legendary item that has the wrong stats or very little investment.

When comparing two pieces of Fate War gear, check them in this order:

• Does the equipment class match the Commander?
• Are the random attributes useful?
• What are the current level and star upgrades?
• Does the replacement provide an actual stat improvement?
• What is its long-term rarity ceiling?

Rarity tells you how much potential an item has. It does not automatically tell you which item is stronger right now.

 

Should You Equip the Commander or Lieutenant?

Your best Fate War equipment should always go to the Commander of the march.

Equipment combat attributes apply through the Hero placed as Commander. A Lieutenant contributes through Hero skills, but equipping another expensive set on that Lieutenant does not add a second set of equipment stats to the same march.

This means you should not build two premium sets for every Hero pair.

Best set -> Main Commander > Second-best set -> Second Commander > Third set -> Third Commander

Whenever your main Commander receives a better item, pass the old developed equipment to your next march. This creates a gear cascade where every major upgrade improves more than one team.

Always check your equipment after changing Hero positions. If another Hero becomes the Commander but your best gear remains on the previous leader, the new march will lose those equipment bonuses.

 

How to Choose the Right Equipment Class?

Do not open equipment selector chests before deciding which Hero you want to use as a long-term Commander.

Equipment class is connected to the Hero's first talent branch, which means choosing gear by troop type alone can lead to the wrong equipment direction.

Use this order:

Choose your main march > Choose the Commander > Check the first talent branch > Select the matching equipment class > Open selector chests

This becomes especially important once Legendary equipment starts consuming significantly more upgrade and reforging resources.

Changing your main Commander after investing heavily in another equipment class can leave you with two unfinished sets instead of one strong one.

 

Is Fate War Forging Worth Spending Gems On?

Fate War forging can provide new equipment, but the biggest drawback is that the result is not fully controlled.

Forging through the Miracle Hut can consume Gems or dedicated forging materials, while the result may not belong to the equipment direction your main Commander currently needs.

For players with limited resources, this leads to one simple rule:

Use free forging materials normally, but be careful about repeatedly spending Gems on random forging.

Before spending Gems, ask:

• What equipment does my main Commander actually need?
• Can this method target that equipment?
• Would I still be satisfied if the result belongs to another equipment class?

If the only goal is to buy another random chance, the investment should remain limited.

Fate War Forging Priority

Method	Priority	Why
Free forging materials	High	Preserves your Gem reserve
Equipment selector chests	High	Directly supports your chosen Commander
Milestone-based equipment rewards	Medium-High	Resources can be planned around a target
Random Gem forging	Low	Results may not fit your main march

For most accounts, targeted equipment progression is more reliable than repeatedly chasing random high-rarity drops.

 

How to Use Fate War Equipment Roulette Efficiently?

The main advantage of Fate War Equipment Roulette is not simply the number of spins. Its more useful rewards include progression milestones and opportunities to obtain equipment in a more targeted direction.

A common mistake is spending a small amount of Gems every time the event appears.

A handful of spins may provide immediate rewards, but repeatedly stopping before meaningful milestones can drain a large Gem reserve without completing your main equipment set.

A better approach is:

Check milestone rewards > Choose the reward you actually need > Calculate your available resources > Commit only when the target is realistic

Do not keep spending simply because you have already completed several spins.

Treat Equipment Roulette as a planned equipment investment rather than a routine Gem sink.

 

Elite vs Legendary Equipment in Fate War

Elite equipment remains highly useful because it is easier to obtain, upgrade, and reforge into a complete working set.

A developed purple item with good random attributes can remain stronger than an undeveloped Legendary replacement.

Fate War Elite Equipment

Elite gear is ideal for:

• Building your first complete Commander set;
• Early and mid-game progression;
• Players with limited upgrade materials;
• Temporary pieces with useful troop attributes.

Its main weakness is the lower long-term stat ceiling.

Fate War Legendary Equipment

Regular Legendary equipment has two base attributes and a higher long-term ceiling than Elite gear.

However, Legendary equipment also requires much more investment before its full value becomes visible.

The correct upgrade path is therefore not:

Elite -> Replace immediately when Legendary drops

Instead, use:

Developed Elite -> Developed Legendary that gives a real improvement

Mixed-rarity equipment is completely normal during this stage.

 

What Is Glorious Equipment in Fate War?

Glorious Equipment is one of the main long-term gear targets in Fate War.

Regular Legendary equipment has two base attributes, while Glorious Equipment has three base attributes. Raising a Glorious item to five stars also unlocks an additional rare attribute, giving it a higher long-term ceiling.

For that reason, your strongest Glorious equipment should normally be developed around your primary Commander.

However, rarity alone is still not enough.

Before replacing an existing item, check:

• Equipment class;
• Random attributes;
• Upgrade level;
• Star level;
• Available development materials;
• Actual improvement to the march.

Glorious Equipment should be treated as a long-term investment rather than an automatic replacement for every developed item.

Best Reforge Stats in Fate War

Fate War reforging changes random equipment attributes.

The most important goal is not to chase the largest percentage immediately. First, make sure the attribute actually supports your Commander and troop setup.

Useful combat-focused reforge stats can include:

• Troop-specific Attack;
• Troop-specific Defense;
• HP;
• Skill Damage;
• Damage Reduction.

A high percentage on the wrong troop attribute may contribute less than a moderate roll that directly supports your main march.

The most efficient Fate War reforging order is:

Correct stat type > Better value > Endgame-quality combination

Do not reverse that order.

 

How Should You Spend Reforging Materials?

Rare reforging materials should be reserved for equipment that will remain useful for a long time.

For temporary Elite gear, getting a few relevant attributes is enough. There is little reason to consume premium reforging materials chasing perfect rolls on equipment that will eventually be replaced.

A practical resource strategy is:

Temporary Elite gear: Stop once the stats are useful.

Long-term Legendary gear: Improve the rolls gradually.

Core Glorious gear: Use your rarest reforging resources here.

Once an item already has a strong relevant attribute, repeatedly rerolling it for a very small numerical improvement can become extremely expensive.

Building several strong equipment slots usually produces healthier progression than concentrating every reforge material on one perfect line.

 

Best Fate War Equipment Progression Order

Early Game: Complete the Main Set

Fill the main Commander's equipment needs first. Functional gear is better than leaving slots underdeveloped while waiting for perfect Legendary drops.

Mid Game: Develop Elite Equipment

Build a coherent Elite set with relevant attributes and concentrate resources on the Commander you actually use.

Transition to Legendary

Replace Elite equipment one item at a time when the new Legendary piece is properly developed and produces a real improvement.

Late Game: Build Glorious Equipment

Reserve premium star, upgrade, and reforging materials for Glorious items that are likely to remain on your primary Commander.

This approach keeps your main march competitive throughout progression instead of forcing you to fight with several unfinished pieces while waiting for an ideal endgame set.

 

Best Fate War Equipment Strategy for F2P and Low Spenders

Players with limited resources benefit the most from reducing random equipment spending.

Early game: Complete equipment beats one premium item. Fill your main Commander's equipment before chasing rare individual drops.

Mid game: A developed Elite set beats scattered unfinished gear. Build one reliable set first.

Legendary gear: Replace only when it is ready. Do not remove a strong Elite item just because the replacement has a gold border.

Reforging: Correct stats before perfect rolls. Do not burn premium materials on temporary equipment.

Gems: Reduce random forging. Save larger investments for situations where the equipment direction or milestone reward is clear.

Glorious Equipment: Main Commander first. Your most valuable equipment resources should create one exceptional march before they are spread across multiple secondary teams.

 

Common Fate War Equipment Mistakes

Replacing Elite Gear Too Early

Legendary equipment has a higher ceiling, but a fresh Legendary item with poor attributes can still underperform a developed Elite item.

Building Premium Gear for Lieutenants

Equipment combat attributes are applied through the Commander, so high-investment equipment should be concentrated on Heroes that actually lead marches.

Opening Selector Chests Before Choosing a Commander

Equipment class is connected to the Hero's first talent branch. Decide your long-term Commander before committing selector resources.

Spending Gems on Small Random Forging Sessions

Repeated small random investments can consume a large Gem reserve without ever completing the equipment you need.

Chasing Perfect Reforge Rolls on Temporary Gear

Save your rarest materials for long-term Legendary and Glorious equipment.

 

Fate War Equipment and Forging FAQ

Who Should Get the Best Equipment in Fate War?

Give your strongest equipment to the Commander of your main march. Lieutenant equipment does not add another set of equipment combat stats to the same march.

Is Elite Equipment Worth Upgrading in Fate War?

Yes. Elite gear is easier to develop and can remain useful until you have a properly built Legendary replacement.

Is Legendary Equipment Always Better Than Elite Equipment?

Legendary equipment has a higher long-term ceiling, but a newly obtained Legendary item is not automatically better than a developed Elite item. Compare attributes, level, stars, and actual stats before replacing it.

What Is the Difference Between Legendary and Glorious Equipment?

Regular Legendary equipment has two base attributes. Glorious Equipment has three base attributes and gains an additional rare attribute after reaching five stars.

 

Conclusion

Fate War equipment progression is not simply about chasing higher rarity. The most effective strategy is to build around your main Commander, troop direction, and long-term resource efficiency. Start with a complete and properly matched Elite set, gradually replace it with developed Legendary equipment, and reserve your most valuable materials for Glorious Equipment in the late game.

Forging and reforging should follow the same resource-efficient approach. Random forging should not become a major Gem sink without a clear goal, while reforging should focus on getting the correct attributes before chasing higher rolls. For players with limited resources, targeted equipment rewards, meaningful milestones, and long-term gear upgrades usually provide better value than repeated random attempts.
