Firstly, let’s elaborate on each of the pieces’ similarities before breaking down their distinctions.
Exalted Crimson Gear Pieces
(December 1st, 2020)
The Exalted Crimson Gear Set is destined to focus on benefiting your Dark Juggernauts, Earth Elementals, as well as your Warriors.
Typically when combining materials to make your Gear Pieces, it requires standard Gil. When forging these Gear Pieces, they will now need 30T Dark Gil (T5) PER Gear Piece (210T Dark Gil (T5)
While they all have similar benefits, particular pieces have distinct differences and can benefit you in certain battle situations.

Gear Set Bonus
In the Mythic Forge, you will see a Set Gear Bonuses section (1st tab). A Set Bonus is activated as soon as you acquire every Gear Piece in the Set required in the row. The bonus will be determined by the lowest level piece you own. If you have one Epic piece and the rest are Uncommon, you will get the Uncommon Set Bonus. Keep in mind that you do not have to wear the Gear for the bonus to be active, as it is passive.
*stats are at maxed level (Legendary)
- 900T% Dark Astral and Enemy Mount Attack Resistance
- 60% Dark Fire Specialty Resistance
- 30% Dark Earth, Lightning, and Ice Specialty Resistance
- 9KT% Dark Armor Piercing, Cripple HP, in addition to Enemy Attack Resistance

How Does it Compare?
It all comes down to the fact, is this set worth it? Is it advantageous than the last release?
Legendary Exalted Crimson vs. Legendary Unrivaled Dominion
Exalted Crimson and Unrivaled Dominion have similar stats types PER piece. Therefore that section will make it easy for observation.
Exalted Crimson Gear Boost PER Piece
*Stats are at level 6 (Legendary) PER gear piece
- 30,000% Royal Dark Core Troop Attack
- 10,000% Royal Dark Core Troop HP
- 20,000% Royal Dark Core Troop Armor

When it comes to the differences between Exalted Crimson and Unrivaled Dominion Gear, is that Exalted Crimson does not include multipliers, while the Unrivaled Dominion contains
- 18% Dark Troop Attack, HP, and Armor Multiplier
- 6% Dark Enemy Attack Resistance, Cripple HP, and Armor Piercing Multiplier
When factoring in Exalted Crimson Set, keep that in mind. However, based on Royal Dark Core, Mercenary, and Elemental benefits between the two, we can establish that Exalted Crimson Gear has:
- 60xs Royal Dark Core Troop Attack
- 20xs Royal Dark Core Troop HP
- 40xs Royal Dark Core Troop Armor
- 30xs Royal Dark Mercenary Attack
- 120xs Royal Dark Elemental Attack
- 10xs Royal Dark Mercenary HP
- 40xs Royal Dark Elemental HP
- 20xs Royal Dark Mercenary Armor
- 80xs Royal Dark Elemental Armor
It seems pretty clear which set outperforms the other, but when does this start taking effect?
Basic Exalted Crimson vs. Legendary Unrivaled Dominion
Exalted Crimson Gear Boost PER Piece
*Stats are at level 1 (Basic) PER gear piece
- 15,000% Royal Dark Core Troop Attack
- 5,000% Royal Dark Core Troop HP

- 500% Royal Dark Core Troop Attack, HP, and Armor
- 200% Royal Dark Mercenary Attack, HP, as well as Armor
- 50% Royal Dark Elemental Attack, HP, in addition to Armor
Exalted Crimson at the Basic level already outperforms Unrivaled Dominion as well. However, do keep in mind the multiplier differences.
However, in this case, we can see that it has:
- 30xs Royal Dark Core Troop Attack
- 10xs Royal Dark Core Troop HP
- 20xs Royal Dark Core Troop Armor
- 15xs Royal Dark Mercenary Attack
- 60xs Royal Dark Elemental Attack
- 5xs Royal Dark Mercenary HP

Exalted Crimson Accessories vs. Reaper Glaives Accessories
Each of the latest Reaper Glaives has stats that set them apart from the others and could still be more beneficial to you versus the Exalted Crimson Accessory.
Exalted Crimson Trinket stats:
*stats are at maxed level 6 (Legendary)
- 30,000% Royal Dark Core Troop Attack
- 10,000% Royal Dark Core Troop HP
- 20,000% Royal Dark Core Troop Armor

- 5,200% Royal Dark Core Troop HP
- 15,700% Royal Dark Core Troop Armor
