How many times have you logged in and seen the question, “What’s the best gear right now?” Anyone that has played Mobile Strike for long enough will know that there is never a one-size-fits-all answer to that question.
No two accounts are the same. Therefore, this article will be teaching everyone How to Pick Gear That’s Right for You.
Only you know what your account’s strengths and weaknesses are, so what’s best for you may not be best for someone else.
Defending
First, let’s take a look at some of the different defense-related stats in the gear and learn what they mean
- Defense is how well your troops can defend against an attack.
- Health is how long your troops can last while defending.
- Attack Debuff decreases Attack of the city that is hitting you.
- Embassy Attack/Defense/Health are only active if you receive reinforcements.
- Base Defending Attack/Defense only applies when you are defending.
There will always be specialty trap setups, and each of them have their own ways to build stats. The most important thing to remember is that stats that affect your troops are going to be better than stats that affect the attacker’s troops. In other words, boosting defense will almost always be better than boosting attack debuff, since the attack debuff only changes the attacker’s strength. So, when picking gear for Defending, you want to make sure that you are choosing gear with the highest Defense and Health.
Attacking
If you are picking Attack Gear, the obvious choice is to always choose the highest attack percentage available in the gear piece. Just like when you are defending, there are a few different ways to set your gear up.
- Attack Bonus is the strength of your troops when you hit another city.
- Assault Attack/Defense/Health (Mech Realm) only applies while you are attacking.
- Defense Debuff or Armor Piercing reduces the strength of the defending player’s troops.
- Rally Attack/Health is attack that is added when you are the Leader of a Rally.
- Type Attack is attack that is added specifically to each individual type of troop: Armored Vehicle, Infantry, Tactical.
If you are a Rally Lead, then you would want to prioritize Attack and Rally Attack. Solo attacks would not benefit from Rally Attack at all, but Type Attack could be useful, especially when sending missiles. Then once you have maxed the amount of Attack, you could focus on Debuffs.
Control Point Battles
Control Point can be pretty intricate. Sometimes Attack Gear pieces can outperform Control Point gear pieces, and it also depends on what the player you are competing with is wearing. So, we will just go over some of the stats found in Control Point gear and what they are for.
- Control Point Holding Attack/Health only applies when you have taken the Control Point and are defending against incoming attacks.
- Control Point Rally Attack will only apply if you are the player that is attacking the Control Point.
Since there are so many different setups, the best way to figure out what works best is to constantly test.
Rounding Out Gear Selections
Now that you know how to pick your gear, make sure you keep an eye out for more in-depth articles on gear that will be coming out for each dimension.
Remember that this article is just a guide for stats that are found in gear only, and how to chose them to suit your base. There are many, many, many more stats in the game and many more places to obtain them from, such as boosts. This post is just a starting point for choosing gear, and with everything we have gone over, only YOU can figure out which gear is best for YOUR setup. Always test your setup and gear, don’t be afraid to drop your shield, and always reach out and ask questions if you ever need help.
