weapon designs are just fluff, both on the character design and the equipment art. each different set has a different design to make them easier to differentiate, but the weapon is pretty arbitrary. a defense set weapon (the bow recommended on templar) will have the same effect on any champion, whether their icon wields a bow, an axe, fights barehanded, or wields a magical floating lantern.
The Graphics are EYE CANDY ........... Read the STATS !!
Same way My ICON is just Eye Candy !
I would Pretty Much IGNORE the little red Dots on the Equipment ,,,
Try HERE instead https://ayumilove.net/raid-shadow-legends-list-of-champions-by-ranking/
you will find a BASIC Armor Set / Sets and ** BASIC ** Stats Requirements
and long with a Rough Masteries guide , and VIDs .....
Will also give you a rough Idea if a hero is Worth Booking or is Just Food
Hellhades.net also has Vids on how to Gear your heros / How to use the Filter System etc
I just Find Hellhades site a lot more complicated then Ayumiloves site
Hellhades has a List of Gear too ,, From Best to garbage so you will know what you can Sell
I am at the point I sell almost all my 4 star green stuff and almost everything 3 star and under
Unless it is Crat Rate Gloves / .................................
ATT % << % <<< Chests
