Illusion Connect Re Gear Guide
Gear is one of the most impactful progression systems in Illusion Connect Re. The right gear setup can make a mid-tier Illusionist outperform a poorly-geared top-tier one. This guide covers gear types, set bonuses, stat priorities, and the enhancement system.
Gear Types & Slots
| Slot | Main Stat Options | Primary Role |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon | ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit DMG | Damage dealers |
| Armor | DEF%, HP%, Evasion | Tanks and supports |
| Boots | Speed, ATK%, HP% | Speed crucial for PvP |
| Accessory | ATK%, HP%, Healing%, Energy Regen | Varies by role |
Gear Sets
Equipping 2 or 4 pieces of the same set activates powerful bonuses. The best sets include Rage (ATK% + Crit DMG), Fortress (DEF% + HP%), Execution (Crit Rate + ATK against low-HP targets), and Radiance (Healing% + team shield).
Enhancement System
Gear can be enhanced up to +15 using gold and enhancement stones. Each +3 threshold unlocks a random substat or upgrades an existing one. +6 to +9 is safe for mid-game, while +12 to +15 is endgame territory. See our Resource Management Guide for gold efficiency strategies.
Gear Farming Locations
Gear drops from story stages (Normal and Hard), Boss Raids, Arena shop, and events. The best early-game farming spot is Chapter 6 Hard Mode. Mid-game players should focus on Boss Raid Guide for SSR gear. Check our Progression Guide for a complete farming route.
FAQ
- What is the best gear set for my main DPS?
- Rage (4-piece) is generally the best for damage dealers. The ATK% and Crit DMG bonuses provide the highest damage ceiling.
- Should I enhance blue/purple gear?
- Only up to +6 and only in the early game. Save your enhancement materials for SSR gear which has higher stat caps.
- How do I get SSR gear?
- SSR gear drops from Boss Raids (highest drop rate), Chapter 10+ Hard Mode (low drop rate), and the Arena shop (guaranteed but expensive).
