Equipment | Sets of spells Lords of the Fallen Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

In Lords of the Fallen, equipment has been divided into several categories:

Armor

There are three types of armor: light, medium and heavy. They are different in terms of their protective values (defense, handling) and in terms of weight. The heavier the armor, the slower and more sluggish you are.

There are 4 pieces of each armor: helmet, gauntlets, shoes and breastplate. With all four elements, you can expect to receive a bonus, with time which helps you in battle.

Shield

Shields allow you to block the enemy blows and, depending on your type, fortify, stun or counter.

A) Buckler - a light shield used by rogues. It provides poor protection, but it allows you to riposte, if you time its special function well.

B) Kite Shield- a versatile chunk of metal that does not weight much, but it allows you to block the majority of blows and perform an attack that knocks the opponent off balance.

C) Tower shield - a very heavy shield that is difficult to break. You can use it to fortify yourself, which means that you stick the shield into the ground and block many of the incoming attacks.

Weapons

Which weapon you have, matters the most for damage that you deal. Regardless of the weight of your weapons, each type has a different set of moves. Some of them are fast, whereas the other ones are slow, Some deal lots of damage, with one blow, but the other ones require a longer combo. In the game, there are the following types of weapons: swords, short swords, greatswords, axes, greataxes, hammers, greathammers, claws, daggers, staffs and polearms.

Each weapon has several standard attacks:

• quick attack- the quick attack button
• strong attack - the strong attack button
• jumping attack - press attack button in mid-air
• rolling attack - press attack button while rolling
• reinforced attack - hold down the attack button. You will then perform a stronger and slower attack the uses up more energy

You also need to remember that the majority of weapons behaves a bit differently, when you hold it in both hands and when you are holding a shield. This is not all, though. Some of the weapons also have attacks that you perform by tapping the attack button rhythmically. The great weapons have attacks that allow you to swing them around, whereas staffs allow you to land combos of quick attacks. To learn more about combos, see the chapter devoted to combat.

The magic gauntlet

The magic gauntlet is the only long-range weapon available in the Lords of the Fallen. It can be used in three modes that you can switch between in combat: along-range attack, a short range attack and firing an explosive, grenade-like projectile. Each of the attacks uses magic, instead of the standard ammo. In the game, there only is one gauntlet, but it can be modified with runes. More about this, in this chapter.

Adornments

Adornments is a small item that buffs your character in a variety of ways. For example,, they can increase your self-control or drain the enemies for magic.

Quick items

Quick items, in the Lords of the Fallen, are predominantly potions and various shards. The former heal your character and they replenish each time you use the game-save crystal. You can increase the maximum supply of potions permanently, if you manage to obtain an empty bottle or receive it from Kaslo. Shards, on the other hand, have many different effects. They can buff your resistance to fire or speed up the health-regeneration ratio, temporarily. Just like the weapons, you can add them to the quick menu and switch between them in combat.
