Cause is extremely annoying when i' chilling grinding gear then advance through the story only to fing more gear that doesnt even say what it does until you get it
Equipment is separated on two categories, rarity, those being Gray,Blue,Orange,and purple and base stats ( the stats that it will have at lv 1), equipment from higher level battles will have better base stats and will always have better stats as the lower level counter-parts if they are the same level of forge upgrade. There is somecases where lower base level or rarity gear may overperform depending on the situation . such is the case of the Mumei sword compared to the orange uchigatana in the early game , the mumei sword has a Increase ATK DMG of 150 points if your general is level 30 thanks to his skill where the original uchigatana has flat 10% Attack bonus, making it worse on any unit that has less than 1500 base Attack.

Equipment with better base stats will also require your general to be higher level in order to be equiped, So far the only two orange pieces of equipment i have managed to get have 10% flat bonus, the Original Uchiganta and the Kuroda armor. Higher level equipment is more expensive to level up on the forge and higher rarity equipment has less success rate than their lower rarity counterparts.
