Lost Sword Gear Priority Guide: DPS and Healer Equipment Order

To clear campaign stages and boss encounters in Lost Sword, upgrade your primary DPS hero's weapon and offensive accessories to the maximum stage cap before investing in your healer or tank. High-level stages enforce strict clear timers and enrage mechanics, making pure burst damage your primary bottleneck. Once your main carry has dependable Attack and Critical Rate values, equip your healer with cooldown reduction and survivability gear to sustain your frontline.

DPS Gear Priorities and Stat Targets

Your primary carry requires immediate investment in flat Attack and consistent critical hits. The weapon slot provides the highest flat Attack value in the game, directly scaling every offensive ability in your hero's skill kit. Secondary offensive slots—such as gloves, rings, and necklaces—provide the percentage multipliers, Critical Rate, and Critical Damage needed to eliminate elite frontliners before enrage timers trigger.

Prioritize building a consistent Critical Rate foundation before investing heavily in Critical Damage multipliers. High Critical Damage offers no value if your abilities fail to trigger critical strikes during burst windows. Use defensive slots on your DPS heroes primarily to survive wide-area attacks rather than over-investing in pure tank stats.

Gear Slot	Primary Stat Focus	Upgrade Priority	Strategic Purpose
Weapon	Flat Attack, Attack %	1 (Immediate Max)	Establishes the raw damage baseline needed to beat stage clear timers.
Gloves / Rings	Critical Rate, Critical DMG	2 (High)	Converts flat Attack into frequent, high-multiplier burst damage.
Boots	Move Speed, Attack, Cooldown	3 (Moderate)	Improves positioning responsiveness and offensive skill cadence.
Chest / Helmet	Max HP, Physical & Magic Defense	4 (Low)	Keeps damage carries alive against unavoidable stage-wide boss strikes.

Healer Equipment: Cooldown Reduction and Skill Cycling

Healers such as Janet and Lueria rely on regular skill cycling and uptime rather than massive single-target numbers. While healing calculations scale with Attack, an oversized heal is wasted if it arrives after your frontline has collapsed.

Focus your healer's gear on the following attributes:

Accessories and Specialized Slots: Focus entirely on skill cooldown reduction (CDR) and energy regeneration. This allows your healer to rotate cleanses, barriers, and recovery ultimates ahead of telegraphed boss mechanics.
Armor Slots (Chest, Helmet, Boots): Equip Max HP and dual defense stats. Sustaining your healer's personal survival prevents attrition losses in extended encounters.
Weapon: Upgrade only to the baseline needed to satisfy healing formulas without diverting top-tier enhancement materials away from your DPS.

Team Gear Upgrade Sequence

Distributing enhancement materials evenly across a five-character roster splits your resources too thin and leads to time-out defeats. Equip and upgrade your squad using this order:

Max the Main DPS Weapon: Funnel all top-tier enhancement stones into your primary carry's weapon until it reaches the current cap.
Outfit Main DPS Offensive Accessories: Equip rings, necklaces, and gloves rolled with Critical Rate and Attack percentages to stabilize burst damage.
Equip Healer Cooldown Gear: Provide your main healer with a functional baseline weapon, followed immediately by cooldown reduction accessories.
Reinforce Frontline Tank Armor: Direct defensive chest pieces, helmets, and HP-heavy gear to your primary tank to absorb direct boss strikes.
Gear Secondary DPS and Backline Supports: Distribute leftover offensive items to your secondary attacker, then give basic defensive pieces to backline supports to survive room-wide damage.

Equipment Resource Management

Conserve advanced enhancement materials and refining stones for high-tier gear sets. Lower-grade equipment (such as blue or purple rarity items) should only be upgraded to the minimum thresholds required to clear content and unlock better farming areas. Over-investing in temporary transitional pieces creates resource shortages when legendary and raid-tier gear become available.
