How to Check Equipment Grade, Stats and Sets in 7DS Grand Cross

Checking a hero's equipment in The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross means looking at four things on each item: its grade, its enhancement level, whether it has been transcended, and its set type plus rolled substats. Together these determine how much a piece of gear is actually contributing to a hero's stats, not just how it looks in the inventory list.

What Equipment Slots Does Each Hero Have?

Every hero in 7DS Grand Cross carries four equipment pieces at once: a Weapon, an Armor, a Necklace, and a Ring. Each slot accepts any grade or set type, so two heroes of the same class can be built very differently depending on which sets and substats were rolled onto their gear.

Because the four slots are shared across the whole roster's equipment pool, equipment is not tied to a single hero permanently — most gear can be unequipped and moved to a different hero as long as the class or gear restrictions on that specific item allow it. That flexibility is part of why equipment quality matters so much when looking at an account as a whole rather than one hero at a time: strong gear sitting on a benched hero can usually be reassigned to whichever hero is actually being played.

What Does Equipment Grade Mean?

Grade is the base rarity tier stamped on a piece of equipment when it drops or is crafted, and it sets the ceiling for how strong that item's base stats and substats can roll. Higher-grade equipment starts with better base numbers and has access to better possible substat rolls than lower-grade equipment of the same type.

Grade is fixed the moment an item is obtained — it does not change through normal enhancement or upgrading. If an account's gear is mostly low-grade pieces, no amount of enhancing will bring it up to what a higher-grade item offers at the same enhancement level, which is why grade is usually the first thing to check before looking at anything else on a piece of equipment.

Where a piece of equipment comes from affects what grade it can be. Story-mode and lower-difficulty dungeon drops tend to top out at lower grades, while higher-difficulty dungeons, boss content, and crafting with better-quality materials open up access to the higher grade tiers. That's part of why a roster with a wide spread of high-grade equipment usually points to an account that has cleared harder content repeatedly rather than one that only played through the early story.

How Does Equipment Enhancement Work?

Enhancement raises a piece of equipment's core stat (attack, defense, or HP depending on the item) by spending enhancement materials and gold to push it up one level at a time, shown as a "+" number next to the item. Each successful enhancement adds a fixed percentage increase to that base stat, and the cost in materials rises as the level climbs.

Enhancement is separate from grade and from substats — it only scales the item's primary stat. A heavily enhanced low-grade item can still fall short of a lightly enhanced high-grade item, because the higher grade's base numbers and substat ceiling are usually the bigger factor. When checking equipment on an account, the enhancement number is easy to see at a glance, but it should always be read together with the item's grade rather than on its own.

What Is Equipment Transcendence?

Transcendence is a secondary upgrade path, separate from normal enhancement, that becomes available once a piece of equipment reaches its maximum enhancement level. Transcending consumes additional materials and grants extra stat bonuses on top of what enhancement already provides, effectively extending how strong a maxed-out item can become.

Because transcendence only opens up after an item is already fully enhanced, a transcended item is a strong signal that real long-term investment went into that specific piece rather than it being freshly picked up. On an account with a wide roster, it is normal for only the equipment on a handful of mainly-used heroes to be transcended, since materials for transcendence are limited and players tend to concentrate them on their core team.

What Are Equipment Sets and Set Bonuses?

Each piece of equipment belongs to a set type — common examples include sets built around Speed, Critical Hit chance, HP, Attack, Defense, Effect Resistance, Effect Accuracy, Counter, and Immunity, among others. Equipping enough pieces from the same set on one hero unlocks a bonus tied to that set's theme, on top of the item's own base stat and substats.

Set choice is a build decision, not a rarity indicator — a full set of high-grade, well-enhanced gear in the wrong set for that hero's role can perform worse than a lower-investment set that actually fits how the hero is used (for example, a Speed set on a hero meant to act first, versus an HP or Defense set on a hero meant to tank hits). When reviewing an account's gear, matching the set to each hero's role tells you more about how intentionally the account was built than the raw grade or enhancement numbers alone.

How Do You Read an Equipment's Substats?

Substats are the secondary stat lines rolled onto a piece of equipment in addition to its main stat and set bonus — things like flat or percentage boosts to attack, defense, HP, crit rate, crit damage, accuracy, or resistance. The number and quality of substat lines depend on the item's grade, and substats can often be further refined or re-rolled using dedicated upgrade materials.

Good substats are what separate two items of the same grade, set, and enhancement level from each other. An item with well-rolled substats that support the hero's role (crit rate and crit damage on a damage dealer, for instance) is meaningfully stronger than an identically-leveled item with substats that don't fit the hero, even though both would look the same at a glance from grade and enhancement level alone.

Many players use substat re-rolling or refining materials to try to improve weak lines on an otherwise good item, rather than replacing the item outright. This means a piece of equipment's substats can change over time even while its grade, set, and base item stay the same — so when comparing two accounts' gear, or comparing a hero's current gear against something sitting unused in inventory, it's worth checking substats fresh rather than assuming an older screenshot or listing still reflects the current roll.

Where Do You Check a Hero's Equipment In-Game?

Equipment details are viewed from each hero's individual profile screen, where every equipped item can be tapped to open a detail panel showing its grade, current enhancement level, transcendence status, set type, and full substat list in one place. The same screen is used to compare an equipped item against anything sitting in the equipment inventory before swapping gear around.

From the hero list, sorting or filtering by equipped item stats is the fastest way to scan an entire roster's gear at once rather than opening each hero individually, which is useful both for a player managing their own account and for anyone trying to get a full picture of what an account's equipment looks like across its whole roster rather than just its top one or two heroes.

What Should You Look For When Reviewing an Account's Equipment?

A quick equipment review should check four things in order: grade first (since it caps everything else), enhancement level second, transcendence status third, and set-plus-substat fit for the hero's actual role last. Checking in that order avoids being misled by a high enhancement number sitting on a low-grade item that will never catch up to better gear.

It is also worth checking how equipment is distributed across the roster rather than only on one showcase hero. An account where only a single hero has strong, well-fitted gear tells a very different story than one where several heroes across different roles all have grade-appropriate, correctly-set equipment — the second spread usually reflects a more complete, longer-played account.

FAQ

Can equipment be moved between heroes on the same account? Yes, in most cases. Equipment can be unequipped and reassigned to a different hero as long as that specific item doesn't have a class or hero restriction attached to it.

Does a higher grade always mean better than a lower-grade item with good substats? Usually yes for the item's ceiling, but a well-rolled lower-grade item at a comparable enhancement level can still outperform a poorly-rolled higher-grade item in practice — grade sets the ceiling, substats decide how close an item gets to it.

Does transcendence replace enhancement? No. Transcendence is only available after an item is already at its maximum enhancement level, and it adds bonuses on top of that fully enhanced state rather than replacing the enhancement process.

How many pieces of a set do you need to get the set bonus? It depends on the set type — some sets grant their bonus with just two matching pieces, while others require a larger share of the four equipment slots to be from the same set before the bonus activates. Checking the set's own tooltip in-game is the reliable way to confirm the requirement for that specific set.

Is it better to check equipment hero-by-hero or across the whole roster? Both matter, but a whole-roster pass is usually more informative first. One hero with excellent gear can hide a roster that's otherwise thin, so scanning every hero's equipped items before judging overall equipment quality gives a much more accurate picture than looking at a single standout hero alone.

Where to Find 7DS Grand Cross Accounts and Diamonds
