Equipment

Equipment is gear for your units. They can boost your unit’s stats like firepower, HP, Armor etc. There are many ways of getting equipments.
When used well, Equipment can flip a battle entirely. Units with equipment on will do significantly better than those without equipment.
== Obtaining ==
=== Loot Crates ===
This is the main way of obtaining equipment. You can purchase loot crates in the Loot Crate Shop. They will contain three pieces of equipment or recipes. All Loot Crates are bought with Loot Tokens, which you can obtain by sending your military on missions, peacekeeping etc and as rewards from Military Training League (MTL)
=== Auction House ===
Equipments can be bought in the equipment part of the auction house.
=== Crafting ===
Main article: Crafting
You can also get equipment by crafting them, but you will need to build a crafting building first. Each crafting building crafts a certain type of equipment.
=== Mystery Boxes ===
Mystery Boxes can also give you equipment. Unfortunately, all equipment from Mystery Boxes can only be used for 3 battles (explained below) 
==== Timer ====
All equipment obtained from Mystery Boxes will have a little timer in the top right-hand corner, with a number next to the timer. This is the number of battles left that this equipment can be in before it disappears. This timer can occur on equipment of all rarities.
This is why most people don't like equipment gained from Mystery Boxes - the equipment simply disappears after three battles.
== Foil ==
Foil Equipments pare equipments that give you double the stats. Foil Equipments can range from all the types of rarity. Foils can be spotted by the gray and white pattern on the background of the equipment.
Foils occur on about 5 - 10% of equipment gained. Equipment that is crafted can foil, but that is probably rarer than gaining a foil equipment from a box.
=== Why are foils good? ===
Because a foil equipment doubles the number of stats you would normally gain from an equipment of that type, some foils can make that equipment better than a normal equipment of the next rarity.
To explain: A foil common will double the number of stats on a normal common, so a foil common will have two stats (like in the picture above). A normal uncommon also has two stats so...
* Foil Common (2) = Normal Uncommon (2)
* Foil Uncommon (4) = Normal Rare (4)
* Foil Rare (8) > Normal Epic (7)
* Foil Epic (14) > Normal Legendary (12)
== How to Use ==
All equipment has to be equipped to a unit for a unit to gain the stats the equipment says it will give. If you click on a unit name, you will be taken to a special screen where you can view the stats of that unit, such as its Experience and how close it is to the next level. On the right hand side of that screen you'll see a four slots (image on the right). If you click one of those slots, it'll bring up another screen with all the available equipment. You can then select one and it'll equip that piece of equipment.
For example, if you were to click the equip Engine button, a screen would appear with all the available engines you could equip to that tank. Once you select one, the piece of equipment will then appear in place of the button, showing the stats it's giving to the unit now you've equipped it.
=== Why can't I equip legendaries to new units? ===
This is a very frequently asked question. To ensure that you can't pretty much instantly level up your units, you can't place legendary and foil legendary equipment on units until they reach Level 15. The minimum levels you can equip certain rarity equipment are as follows:
* Common, Foil Common, Uncommon and Foil Uncommon - can be equipped at Level 1
* Rare and Foil Rare - can be equipped at Level 5
* Epic and Foil Epic - can be equipped at Level 10
* Legendary - can be equipped at Level 15
==== Why do these restrictions exist? ====
If you could buy new units, and then immediately equip foil legendaries then that would be really unfair. If you declare on a Tier 10 with no B-2 Spirits, which you happen to have, and send on them, then if suddenly, they have B-2s with Foil Legendaries, you'll have a much harder battle. This rule is in place to ensure that you can't suddenly get really good units - you have to work your way towards them and actually play the game.

Battle Juice are special equipment. They are the only equipment that can be equipped to all five unit types - Infantry, Special Forces, Armor, Air and Static. Battle Juice don't give set amounts of stats (e.g. +1 Firepower), they give a bonus percentage (e.g. +25% Firepower). The numbers are always rounded up (i.e. if you put a +25% Firepower Battle Juice on a tank with 2 Firepower, the tank would be boosted to 3 firepower. The percentage boost only changes depending on the rarity and are listed below:
Rarity 	Percentage
Common 	
Common (Foil) 	
Uncommon 	
Uncommon (Foil) 	
Rare 	
Rare (Foil) 	
Epic 	
Epic (Foil) 	
Legendary 	
Legendary (Foil)	
Be aware that Battle Juice can only be used once before disappearing.
