Gear Up! A Sneak Peek at the Upcoming Equipment Feature 

Good day, Heroes! This is Kai, one of the Game Designers on Heroes of History, and I have some exciting news about the upcoming additions to the game. 

Early Preview Disclaimer 

Keep in mind we are still developing this feature and what I’m about to share could be adapted and changed before its release. Take it as an early and not final preview! 

Introducing Equipment 

After releasing the Relics at the begin of the year, we jumped head-first into the development of our biggest new addition yet: Equipment! 

Today, I’m giving you a sneak peek of what you can expect from this feature. 

With Equipment, you can customize your favorite Heroes like never before and drastically increase their Battle Power. 

Also, we want to add exciting new battle modes alongside this feature, so you have more diverse challenges for your Heroes. 

The Equipment Slots 

But first, let’s have a look at how Equipment will work. Each Hero will have 5 slots for different kinds of Equipment. 

The Armament Slots: 

• A Hand Slot 🫴 for tools and weapons 

• A Garment Slot 👕 for clothing and armor 

The Adornment Slots: 

• A Hat Slot 🎩 for all sorts of hats, helmets, and even a wig! 

• A Neck Slot 🧣 for necklaces, scarves, and collars 

• A Ring Slot 💍 for rings 

Each piece of Equipment belongs to one of these slots, so don’t try to put a sword on your Hero’s head—that sounds quite dangerous! 

Equipment differs from Relics thematically, as they are not epic and uniquely named objects but instead a bit more generic (think “Squire’s Sword” instead of “Excalibur”).

Equipment Sets Galore 

Each Equipment will also belong to a certain Set, which gives it its theme. We’ve covered a variety of cultures, ages, and professions with our Equipment Sets, making them as diverse as our Heroes themselves! 

Here are some examples of Equipment Sets you’ll be able to obtain: 

• The Archer Set 

• The Bard Set 

• The Samurai Set 

• The Scientist Set 

• The Shaman Set 

• The Quack Set (my personal favorite!) 

• The Magician Set 

• The Pharaoh Set 

And these are just a few examples! We’re planning a whopping 38 different Sets in total. 

Each set appears either with two or three types of Equipment, depending on whether it’s for the Armament or Adornment slots. 

For example, the Archer’s Set consists of different versions of the Archer’s Bow 🏹 (Hand Slot) and Archer’s Garb 🧥 (Garment Slot). 

Using both on the same Hero grants the Archer’s Set Bonus: increasing the damage of all Single Strike Ability Attacks by +7.5%! 

What’s Next? 

I hope that sounds exciting! While that’s all I can share today, please stay tuned for more reveals about Equipment in the upcoming weeks and months. Soon, I’ll cover topics like: 

• Stat Boosts by Equipment 

• Levelling up Equipment 

• How to obtain Equipment 

Thank you so much, and see you in the game! 😊
