Happy December! We are continuing our exploration of new gear sets. Gear continues to evolve in Iron Throne. With each evolution of gear, it is our goal to keep you in the know. When the game was first released we saw our first-generation gear which was able to be enhanced to level 15. Eventually, the Dark Lord Gear Set came along and replaced all previous sets as the gear to have. However, it was quite difficult to obtain.

Then we saw our second-generation gear released. This included sets such as Majestic and Slaughter. Over time we have seen sets become easier to obtain which has helped us to be able to make solid increases in our builds.

Currently, we have three new Level 60 Sets of gear that pack a punch. We are covering each of these sets of gear in their own guides to be sure you have all the information you need to be successful.

With the changes made to our gear, we are constantly seeing an evolving cycle of what gear to wear and when. Last month we covered how to obtain and craft gear on a budget in our article, Building up your Gear on a budget.

Before we dive in though make sure that you take the time to go back and get the basics on gear in these articles and videos:

Be Ferocious

Recently we have seen the release of the Aspirant, Willful, and Ferocious Gear set and from a look at the stats, it is a gear set that is worth striving after. We have already covered Aspirant and Willful Gear. This month we will be covering our Ferocious set. However, here is the catch, currently, this is one of the most difficult sets to obtain in-game.

Our hope is that as time passes we will be given more ways to acquire this set and allow us to test it and its stats out. However, we are going to preemptively take a closer look at this gear set and the stats it provides, and what that could mean for us as players.

Ferocious Gear Changes

Your Ferocious Gear can now be enhanced to level 15. For defenders utilizing the weapons as part of their defense setup, these new levels can give a great boost to your defense.

The new +15 Set Bonus for Ferocious Gear can be seen in the table below:

In the table below you can see the increase from +10 to +15 Ferocious Gear

Ferocious Gear Set

What is the Ferocious Gear Set? Ferocious Gear is an enhancement set that is specialized in order to enhance Cavalry Troops. This means that this gear is focused on making your Cavalry troops stronger. We could compare this gear to Agility Gear. However, it is much more than that.

How to Obtain this Gear Set

Currently, the set codex does not list how to obtain this gear set. We have thus far seen it available in packs and if it is obtainable in similar ways as its counterpart we will see it available as “content rewards.”

In other words, it will be obtainable through events, however, only as of the highest reward. This means it will take a while until we really start seeing this gear in-game and it will go to the top players first. It will not be a gear that is easy to get. However, this gear has made its way into the gold store and while it is not cheap it is up to you whether or not the stats are worth the price.

What is Unique about Ferocious Gear Stats?

Does Ferocious Gear really make you ferocious? This gear like its counterparts, Aspirant and Willful Gear, packs a punch. This gear brings the same unique components to the game but with a Cavalry Troop focus.

  • This is our third level 60 gear.
  • When we take a closer look at Ferocious gear one of the first things we will notice is the stats are basically a combination of Crimson Agility and Agility Gear. However, the numbers are much higher.
  • Traditionally we are used to pieces of gear giving one Hero stat such as Hero Attack or Hero Defense or Hero HP. However, with this set, that rule is broken and the same piece of gear may give Hero Attack and Hero HP or Hero Defense and Hero HP.
  • The accessories on this gear give Hero Face-Off Attack Increase, which with the increase of importance in Face-Off is going to be essential. In addition, you will also see that the accessories are not troop type-specific and carry a ton of Hero attack and Hero HP which is also going to help you with Face-off.

Level 60 Gear Updates

Currently level 60 gear is playing a more and more important role in the game. For defenders, level 60 weapons play a big part in your defense set-up. Currently, these gear sets can be enhanced to level 10. At this point, you are also able to engrave these gear sets.

In the table below, you can see the stats you will get at max engraving for each of these pieces. The weapons engraving will give our defenders some nice extra Type Attack.

"Picture of table comparing Level 60 Gear Engraving for Ferocious, Willful and Aspirant"

This gear has the same cost to engrave as radiant. It requires 50 Engraving stones per attempt to engrave. Remember when you are engraving gear the stats from the engraving only applies to the Hero wearing it when engraved. So before you start engraving this gear set be sure it is equipped to the Hero it will be staying on.

The Stats

We are going to take a closer look at this gear in comparison to our previous Cavalry gear set, Agility, and Crimson Agility. We will break down the stats gear piece by gear piece so you are able to really see what sets this gear apart.

The Set Bonuses

Whenever we look at new gear sets we cannot look at them without looking to see what the set bonuses attached bring to the table. Remember that as you enhance your gear higher and higher the more benefits you will receive from it. We are going to start with the base set bonus.

"Picture of table showing Ferocious base set bonus"

This base set bonus has some decent stats. However, let’s go ahead and take a look at the Immortal set bonus.

As we continue seeing this set increase in enhancement we will add on more benefits such as:

  • +5 Bonus gives a Deployable Troop Size increase
  • +10 Bonus gives Increase Troop Attack on Face-Off Victory
  • +10 Bonus gives Enemy Tier 6+ Preemptive Strike Debuff
  • +10 Bonus gives Enemy Rally Troop Attack Buff Decreased

What does all of this mean?

Ultimately we just threw a lot of numbers and information at all of you. So what does it mean? We have a few points to look at here:

As Face-off becomes more and more important these are sets that we will want to move towards obtaining and enhancing. Ferocious may be a part of pushing everyone back towards a type defense as defenders are able to obtain these gear sets. Even when crafting at lower quality at times the stats on this gear will outperform current gear sets. So make sure you keep an eye on the numbers and test things out as you are able to do so. Some players have started mixing sets even when they are unable to craft a full set of gear.
