In The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Version 1.5, prioritize engraving the weapon and gloves on your primary DPS carry before upgrading defensive slots or secondary party members. Always level the base gear to its maximum enhancement rank and verify its secondary stats before applying Engraving Stones, as the resonance bonus calculates directly from the item's upgraded base stats.

How Gear Engraving Works in Version 1.5

Engraving permanently bonds a maximum-rarity piece of equipment to a specific hero selected during the imprinting process. Once engraved, the item unlocks a dedicated resonance line that grants a flat percentage increase to its primary attributes whenever that bonded character is in combat.

Other heroes on your roster can still equip the gear piece to receive its base stats and set bonuses, but only the bonded hero activates the engraving resonance. Because imprinting consumes scarce Engraving Stones and substantial gold reserves, avoid engraving transitional or low-rarity gear. The resonance stat boost scales from the item's existing enhancement level, meaning you must upgrade the equipment to its maximum base level beforehand to obtain the full Combat Power return.

Slot Upgrade Priority

Offensive gear pieces govern flat Attack, Attack percentage, and critical stats. Because raid timers and domain encounters require high burst damage, offensive upgrades yield immediate progression returns over defensive padding. Tanks and utility supports can survive early endgame encounters with standard gear, making damage dealers your top priority.

Follow this sequence when spending Engraving Stones:

  1. Weapon (Primary DPS): Provides the highest flat Attack increase, scaling all offensive skill multipliers.
  2. Gloves (Primary DPS): Grants critical rating and secondary offensive percentage attributes.
  3. Chest Armor and Belt (Tanks and Healers): Increases maximum HP to scale support shields and survive burst damage.
  4. Helmet and Boots (All Units): Delivers Defense and resistance stats to survive late-stage raid mechanics.

Pairing a four-piece Attack set with a two-piece Critical Hit set offers the most consistent offensive ceiling for damage carries. Supports scale best with maximum HP, while frontline tanks require damage reduction to withstand boss enrage timers.

If an individual engraved piece rolls exceptionally high substats, equip it immediately even if doing so temporarily breaks a lower-tier four-piece set bonus.

Substat Priorities and Rerolling Thresholds

Do not engrave gear that lacks favorable secondary rolls. Percentage-based secondary stats scale far higher than flat numerical additions in high-tier content.

  • Tier 1 (High Priority): Critical Rate %, Critical Damage %, Attack %
  • Tier 2 (Situational): Flat Attack, Penetration
  • Dead Rolls (Avoid): Flat Defense, Flat HP, Resistance

Refinement materials are limited. Instead of spending reroll stones on gear filled with flat defensive rolls, dismantle those items for refinement dust. Look for equipment that drops with at least two Tier 1 substats naturally. Lock those lines before using refinement stones on the remaining secondary slots to prevent rolling over desirable stats.

Pre-Engraving Checklist

To avoid wasting scarce materials on incorrect gear, verify each requirement before confirming an engraving:

  1. Rarity: Confirm the gear piece is at the maximum base rarity tier.
  2. Primary Stat: Ensure right-side pieces roll relevant main attributes (such as Attack % for offensive heroes).
  3. Substats: Check that at least two secondary lines feature Tier 1 percentage scaling.
  4. Enhancement Level: Maximize the item's standard enhancement rank before imprinting.
  5. Hero Selection: Confirm your primary DPS character is selected as the binding target before applying the stone.
