New Exclusive Equipment

The best way to empower any hero in Epic Seven has been to given them an exclusive equipment. For unaware players, these exclusive equipment’s are essentially a boost to their ability as well as one of their core stats. For example, some heroes might be lacking in Base Speed. This problem can be solved by giving them an exclusive equipment that can increase their speed. In this month’s first Patch preview, the 2 heroes who will be getting their exclusive equipment are – Krau and Sharun. Here are the new exclusive equipment and their skills: –

Advent Side Story – Enraged Blazing Emissary

The newest Advent Side story is titled as “Enraged Blazing Emissary”. Players who have cleared the Episode 2 Chapter 10 Stage 10 will be eligible to be enter and participate in the advent side story. The difficulty of these side stories is generally on a more elevated level compared to the usual side stories. They also require the players to have a wide variety of heroes in their roster at their disposal. This is due to the fact that players need to use 3 different teams, consisting of 4 unique heroes each. This diversifies the team compositions and gives players a more challenging way of dealing with PvE content. The Advent side story has already started at the time of writing, with the duration being roughly for 2 weeks. Starting from 19th January 2023 to 2nd February 2023, this Advent side story is going to reward players with tons of resources.
