Gear Guide (Season 6)
Gear in Season 6
By Season 6, your primary squad should have full Mythic or near-Mythic gear on your carry heroes. The gear system itself has not changed since prior seasons, but Hero Awakening reshapes the investment trade-off: every shard or material spent on gear competes with EW Lv20+ progression and Awakening Shard accumulation. Knowing when gear is the right investment vs when to redirect to Awakening prerequisites is the core S6 gear question.
If your carry's Exclusive Weapon is below Level 20, push the EW first — even at the expense of gear progress. Awakening requires EW Lv20+ as a hard prerequisite. A 5-star Mythic-geared Kimberly without EW Lv20+ cannot Awaken in Week 1; her gear sits idle while she waits for a level you should have finished. Gear and weapons are multiplicative, but the gating sequence in S6 is EW first, gear second, Awakening shards third.
