⚙️ Gearing

Stat Priority by Role

Don’t optimise for everything — prioritise what actually moves the needle for each role.

Set Choices — Mid Game

Most sets don’t matter in mid-game. Stats matter. The only sets worth farming for are:

Everything else is secondary until you’re clearing stage 20+ and have filled Speed/Accuracy on your key champions.

Substat Rolling — What to Keep

The rule is simple: if a piece doesn’t roll SPD or your primary stat in the first 4 upgrades, sell it.

Keep if rolling:

• SPD (on anything)
• ACC on debuffers / utility
• CritDmg% on damage dealers
• HP% / DEF% on tanks and healers
• Atk% on damage dealers (secondary to CritDmg)

Sell if rolling:

• Flat HP, flat Atk, flat Def — these scale poorly
• RES on a damage dealer
• Anything irrelevant to the champion’s role

RSL Helper Sell Filters

RSL Helper’s sell filter system is the fastest way to clear junk gear without manually reviewing hundreds of pieces. The two filter files in this repo are tuned for different game stages.

Which File to Use

If you’re in late-midgame (Arbiter built, solid CB foundation) — use the Lategame file. It’s the denser filter: it disables the Marius set protection, enables an additional low-rank sell rule, and has far more specific keep-rule variants (meaning higher thresholds to pass). You’ll end up selling more gear, which is what you want once your roster is established.

Key differences between the two:

• Marius Sets: Midgame keeps them. Lategame ignores them — at this stage you’re not building around Marius.
• Low Rank/Rarity SELL rules: Midgame has 2 active; Lategame has 3 — it catches an extra category of junk.
• Damage / Scarce Sets keep rules: Lategame has 3–6× more rule variants, with tighter stat thresholds. More rules means more specificity, not more generosity.

Do You Need Everything Upgraded to +8 First?

No — but run the filter in stages, not all at once.

The filter is keyed to upgrade levels (0, 4, 8, 12, 16). Each rule only fires when gear is at that level. Running it on a mixed inventory of +0 through +16 gear is fine — the right rules will apply to each piece automatically.

What’s NOT safe: importing the filter, running it once on completely fresh (+0) drops, and selling everything it flags red. Pieces that haven’t been upgraded yet won’t match any +8 KEEP rules, so they’ll fall through to the “Final Sell” catch-all and get flagged even if they’d be keepers at +8.

1. 1

   Run at +0 — sell obvious trash immediately

   Low value sets (Life, Defense, Offense, Resistance flat-bonus sets), gear below 5★ rank, wrong rarity. These rules fire at LVL 0. Don't waste silver upgrading them — sell them now.

2. 2

   Upgrade remaining to +4, run again

   The first substat roll is revealed. Pieces that didn't show Speed, your primary stat, or a useful secondary get flagged here. Silver-efficient — catching bad pieces at +4 costs far less than finding out at +12.

3. 3

   Upgrade remaining to +8 — this is the main pass

   All four substats of a 6★ piece have had two upgrade rolls. This is when the filter's keep-rule thresholds make sense. Sell everything red at this stage — it's safe.

4. 4

   Only go to +12 / +16 for candidates you're equipping

   Don't mass-upgrade to +12 before selling. Reserve +12 and above for pieces you're actively building a champion with.

The One-Sweep Approach (If You Want It Simple)

If you don’t want to think about stages: upgrade everything to +8 first, then run the filter once. Sell everything red. This is the safe single-pass method. It costs more silver upfront on pieces you’ll eventually sell, but eliminates any risk of selling a piece before its substats were properly evaluated.

Enhancement Events — Optimal Upgrade Path

Artifact Enhancement events are the primary reason to not upgrade gear outside of event windows. Every upgrade gives event points — spending silver on the same upgrades outside an event is throwing free points away.

Preparation (before the event fires)

Hold your dungeon drops. Don’t upgrade anything you’re not equipping right now. Let the pile grow — the event pays you to process it.

During the Event

The Full Loop During an Enhancement Event

1. 1

   Run filter at +0 first

   Sell obvious trash without spending a single silver on upgrades. Low-value sets, bad rank/rarity — these fire at LVL 0. Clearing them now saves silver for pieces that might be worth something.

2. 2

   Upgrade all 4★ remaining to +4, run filter

   Bank the event points on the upgrade. Then sell everything the filter flags. The event points come from upgrading, not from keeping — sell immediately after the check.

3. 3

   Upgrade all 5–6★ remaining to +8, run filter

   This is your main pass. All substats are now revealed and upgraded twice. Sell everything red. This is where the bulk of your event points come from.

4. 4

   Push survivors to +12 if you're evaluating them

   Any piece that survived the +8 filter but you're not sure about — upgrade to +12 for a final check. Not mandatory; only if you're actively building that slot.

5. 5

   Push to +16 only for pieces going on a champion right now

   See the +16 criteria below. Never push to +16 during an event just for points — the silver cost is too high relative to the marginal gain.

When to Push to +16

+16 is for champions, not for evaluation. It costs ~200,000 silver to go from +12 to +16 — that’s a real commitment.

Push a piece to +16 only when all of these are true:

1. The piece passed the +12 filter check
2. You’re equipping it on a champion right now, not “eventually”
3. You need the extra stats for a breakpoint — or you have a silver surplus over 2M and a CvC event is running (upgrades count for CvC points)

Never push to +16 because:

• “I want to see the final stats” — you can calculate the range from +12 values
• “It might be good” — if it’s “might be”, it’s not +16 material yet
• Silver is below 1M — you need that silver for more upgrades on more pieces

Silver Cost Reference

The +12 → +16 jump costs as much as taking a fresh piece all the way to +12. That’s the decision you’re making.

Silver Management

Silver is the real bottleneck in mid-to-late game. The upgrade trap is real:

• Upgrading a 6★ piece to +16 costs ~400,000 silver
• Upgrading 10 mediocre pieces to +8 costs ~1.5M silver before you sell them
• Running out of silver while holding full gear slots is one of the most common stall points

Rules:

1. Never upgrade past +4 unless it rolled SPD or a key stat
2. Never upgrade accessories past +8 unless they’re going on a priority champion
3. Sell at +4 and +8 aggressively — don’t hoard “maybe” pieces
4. Never upgrade gear outside an Enhancement event if you can avoid it — the same silver during an event earns you points on top

Mid-Game Shortcuts

You don’t need perfect gear to progress. These thresholds are good enough to stop farming and start playing:

Once you hit these thresholds, lock the gear and stop tinkering. The marginal gain from going from CritDmg 220% to 260% is much smaller than gearing a second team for a second dungeon.
