Forge

Forging allows you to augment you weapons with powerful enchantments and buffs. Only certain powerful items contain slots to which you augment gems and other enhancements. The number of slots determine how many gems or enhancements can be forged with the item. Once you complete the forging process, it will consume the gems and enhancements. If you choose to salvage an item, it will remove any existing gems or enhancements from the item and allow you to reforge the item again. However, salvaging an item will not return the original ingredients.

Physical Piercing/Physical Resistance
Some heroes and items will grant your character Physical Piercing and Physical Resistance. As an attacker, if your Physical Piercing exceeds your opponent's Physical Resistance, you will have a better chance at defeating your opponent. As a defender, if your Physical Resistance exceeds the attacker's Physical Piercing, you will have a better chance of defending against the attack.

Fire and Water Elements
As an attacker, if your Fire Piercing exceeds your opponents Fire Resistance, you will have a better chance at defeating your opponent. Additionally, Fire Piercing will allow you an even greater chance to defeat an opponent if they have Water Resistance equipped.

As an attacker, if your Water Piercing exceeds your opponents Fire Resistance, you will have a better chance at defeating your opponent. Additionally, Water Piercing will allow you an even greater chance to defeat an opponent if they have Fire Resistance equipped.

Fire Resistance and Water Resistance will mitigate or eliminate the advantage of an attacker with the same elemental piercing. However, they will also make you more susceptible to piercing of the opposing element.
