Soul Knight Prequel – Gears Attributes
Before diving into the gear list in Soul Knight Prequel, let's acquaint ourselves with the intricacies of equipment properties: Stats, Gacha Effects, Fatebound Effects, and Modifiers.
Stats
Stats in Soul Knight Prequel encompass the numerical values defining a gear's attributes, playing a pivotal role in gauging the effectiveness of a character's equipment. Presently, gears feature four attributes:
| Stats | Effect |
|---|---|
| Strength | Strength substantially amplifies both the character's damage output and durability. |
| Dexterity | For melee, dexterity can help overwhelm enemies with rapid attack, while for ranged characters, it contributes to heightened damage output and increased survivability. |
| Intelligence | Intelligence primarily influences a character's energy regeneration and cooldown reduction. |
| Defense | Defense is a character stat that directly influences their ability to mitigate damage from enemy attacks. Every gear has DEF. |
Gacha
Legendary gear that you obtained from Gacha provides a unique effect “Premium Bundle. When worn, it increases all base stats of your character.
Fatebound
Gears usually possess one or more Fatebound Nodes as part of their properties. Once you equip two items sharing the same Fatebound Node, its effect is activated. Equipping three items with the same Fatebound Node makes its effect even stronger.
Fatebound Items can significantly enhance your character's capabilities and even transform how specific skills work.
Modifier
Modifiers bestow additional buffs to either your stats or skills and the variety you receive is subject to RNG. Enhancing your gears at the Blacksmith Farrier can grant extra modifiers in exchange for equipment fragments in Soul Knight Prequel.
Additionally, you can reroll modifiers on equipment by visiting Craftsmith Farriette in Chillstead Village in exchange for ores.
Gear Tier List
Now that we're familiar with what to seek in equipment let's unveil the roster of gears. Remember that the synergy between Modifiers and Fatebound is paramount for exceptional gear.
Opt for a stat boost that complements your class, then enhance it further through rerolls:
Gacha S Tier
Obtaining Legendary Gears from Sapphire Armor Chest grants a “Premium Bundle” buff that augments all base stats for each premium legendary gear you wear.
While these gears are considered the pinnacle, obtaining them relies on luck, with a mere 9.8% chance for each piece in Soul Knight Prequel.

Conclusion
Weeks have passed since the release of Soul Knight Prequel, and regrettably, there has been minimal improvement in server stability. This persistent issue hampers players' ability to make progress within the game.
Additionally, their official Discord has taken measures to lock down the discussion section, presumably to curb the influx of complaints from frustrated players.
The list above is subject to change once the global servers have been thoroughly fixed.
