Damage Type
In Taichi Panda: Heroes, there are 2 types of damage: Physical and Magical. All Equipment is divided between Physical and Magical type gear. Heroes can only equip gear that has the correct Damage Type for them.

Equipment Quality
All Equipment comes with a specific "Quality". Lower quality gear will deliver lower Attribute boosts to a Hero than higher quality gear. Gear Quality is color coded for convenience.

Upgrading Equipment
Players can Upgrade their Equipment to gain powerful Attribute boosts while equipped. The two main ways to upgrade gear are Fortifying and Refining.

Fortification
All Equipment begins with a Reinforcement level of 0. Reinforcing costs Gold, and will add a small boost to all stats on the piece of Equipment. A piece of equipment can be upgraded to no higher than 2 x (current Hero level). For example, a Hero of level 23 can upgrade a piece of gear to a maximum level of 46.

Upgrading a piece of gear to specific Reinforcement levels - ex. 5, 25, 45, 65, 85, etc. - will activate bonus Attribute boosts. Different gear will offer different bonuses.

Refinement
All Equipment begins with a Refinement level of 0. Refining gear requires the consumption of Gold and Refinement Stones. Each new level of Refinement offers substantially more valuable Attribute bonuses, but also costs increasingly large amounts of resources. When quality 30 Equipment is Refined past the 4th stage, a special resource called Moonlight is also used. Moonlight may be obtained by Smelting quality 30 Equipment.

Equipment Sets
For certain gear, special bonuses can be gained by simultaneously equipping multiple pieces from the same Equipment Set.
