Illusion Connect · Equipment

Equipment table

Every weapon, armor, accessory and shoe by drop tier, each piece clickable for its effect, plus recommended gear builds for every role.

Pre-launch draft. Compiled from the original global version ahead of the Illusion Connect: Re relaunch. Rankings and details will be refined as the live meta settles.

Eden of Gaming has rebuilt the full Illusion Connect equipment chart. Every weapon, armor, accessory and shoe is grouped by its drop tier. Tap any piece for its effect.

T1 90% drop rateT2 10% drop rateT3 Summon only

Tiers below are drop rarity, not power. T1 pieces fall freely from farming, T2 pieces are the rarer 10% drops, and T3 pieces come from summoning only. Tap any piece for its effect. A handful of summon-only pieces are still being catalogued and are marked as pending.

Recommended builds

Gear in Illusion Connect is assigned by class, so these builds apply across every Partner who shares a role. Pieces that appear in the table above are clickable.

Attacker

Raw Damage

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory

Attackers are the boss killers, so this build chases pure offensive output. Butterfly Hunter adds damage against the enemy leader, Butterfly Rattan Shirt keeps resistance up while you are healthy, Falling Butterfly feeds rage for faster ultimates, and Fiery Shawl snowballs attack and crit damage after every kill.

Attacker

Critical Rate

Weapon
Armor
Boots Victory Cornerstone
Accessory

For attackers whose kits reward crits. Dragonhowl stacks attack and crit rate, while Victory Cornerstone has a high chance to raise crit rate on every action, keeping you near the crit cap across a long fight.

Attacker

Lifesteal

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory

A self-sustaining attacker that buys the team extra defense. Nightmare Hunter adds lifesteal, and Uniforms of Justice scales defense while healthy then flips to attack once you drop below half HP, so the kit stays useful through long engagements.

GemmyYume
Guardian

Tank

Weapon
Armor Knight's Oath Armor
Boots
Accessory

Guardians sit up front and eat most of the damage. Knight's Oath Armor can spike resistance after being hit, Knight's Dress Boots add block, and Jeweled Crown heals a slice of max HP whenever a block triggers, so the wall keeps repairing itself.

Guardian

Damage Reflect

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory Ghost Lamp

For sturdier teams that can let a defender contribute damage. Emerald Heart and Gentleman's Poise both reflect a share of incoming damage, while Go trickles HP regen to keep the guardian alive long enough to punish attackers.

Healer

Pure Heal

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory Silver Necklace

Maximises healing throughput. Coffin of Protection lifts heal rate and pours extra healing into your lowest-HP ally, and Holy Rose has a strong chance to raise heal rate right after the team takes a hit, so output spikes exactly when you need it.

Healer

Heal and Damage

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory

For healers who do not gain much from a higher heal rate. Myoo's Wings adds attack while cutting the target's attack, and Bloody Shirt restores rage off incoming hits, letting the healer contribute damage and reach ultimates faster.

Light

Damage

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory

Light types buff allies but can also deal damage. Phoenix Petticoat keeps resistance high once HP drops below half, so the unit survives to keep attacking. Light kits are flexible, so adjust the pieces to fit the team.

Light

Support

Weapon White Queen
Armor Knight's Oath Armor
Boots Pharaoh's Boots
Accessory

For utility-first light types. White Queen and Pharaoh's Boots stack block so the unit stays on the field, and Holy Cross restores energy to allies, keeping your support presence alive as long as possible.

Sorcerer

AoE Damage

Weapon
Armor
Boots Victory Cornerstone
Accessory

Sorcerers are the top overall DPS through area attacks. Staff of Hope stacks attack and AoE damage, and Victory Cornerstone keeps crit rate climbing each action so multi-target damage stays consistent.

Good on

Sorcerer

Crowd Control

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory

For sorcerers who lag on raw damage. Now or Never and Witch's Dance Boots both roll to silence enemies, layering debuff coverage across the enemy board instead of leaning on damage.

Spell

Damage

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory

Spell types play like sorcerers with extra effects. Staff of Hope drives attack and AoE damage, while Crimson Longboots add max HP and damage reduction to balance the offense with survivability for sustained casting.

Good on
MiyukiRikiaBeatrice
Spell

Crowd Control

Weapon
Armor Bone Cloth
Boots
Accessory

When damage is off the table, lean into denial. Fortune Caller drains enemy rage on top of an attack boost, and Jeweled Hairband raises effect hit rate so your debuffs reliably land on the enemy group.

Summoner

Attack

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory

Summoners are the lowest priority for gear, but an offensive build cashes in on their damage. Dream Chaser adds attack and slows the target, and Bagua Belt can restore energy to each ally to keep summons flowing.

Good on
AshwayaGagakuFloraFrantiva
Summoner

Defense

Weapon
Armor
Boots
Accessory

When a summoner adds more value through field presence, build defense. Fairy Tale Doll buffs summoned-unit HP, and Holy Cross can restore energy to allies on death, so the utility persists deep into long battles.
