Equipment Types
Default stats are determined by item type, e.g. Weapons will always have Damage. These are different than primary or other stats.
Weapons
Weapons are hero-specific gear.
Primary Stat: Hero Power (Damage)
Armor
Armor has four different types, each having their own equipment slot.
Primary Stat: Hero Physical/Magical Resist
Relics
Relics come in four different forms. Each Relic has its own Primary Stat. The four relics and their primary stat are:
Totems (Defense Health) - Increased HP of your tower/aura
Medallions (Defense Power) - Increased base damage of your tower/aura
Marks (Defense Crit) - Increased critical hit damage of your tower/aura
Orbs (Defense Speed) - Increased attack rate of your tower/aura
All four gain additional stats and slots based on drop rarity. They come with 1 to 3 additional tower stats and 0 to 3 shard sockets.
Each Relic slot in the hero equipment page corresponds to the tower/aura on the hero hotkey bar. As an example for the Squire:
1st relic slot affects the Barricade.
2nd relic slot affects the Cannonball Tower.
3rd relic slot affects the Ballista.
4th relic slot affects the Training Dummy.
Relic Stat Weights
Need math done
Conventional wisdom dictates:
Defense Health for walls (path blockers like barricade).
Defense Critical Damage for damage towers/auras.
Defense Power for damage towers/auras as secondary stat.
Defense Speed is worst stat.
Defense Critical Hit Chance is said to be capped around 33% chance so it's not needed much after you cap it with your ascension level points.
