Equipment
World of Battles features a number of items that can be equipped to your units, and which will increase various statistics based on its purpose (suits of armor, for example, boost a unit's Armor statistic). Certain pieces of equipment may also provide bonuses to other statistics as well.
Each piece of equipment also has its own weight characteristic, which you'll want to keep an eye on to avoid bogging your units down.

Potions – These items can be used to boost a given statistic for a short amount of time. While they are unfortunately consumed after a single use, Potions can provide a valuable advantage.
