Equipment

This article or section may require a cleanup. The editor who added this tag believes this page should be cleaned up for the following reason: Now that the English version is out, a lot of the Japanese can be cleaned up. Plus there's still a whole lot we haven't filled in yet. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Equipment is a customization option in Super Smash Bros. 4. Three pieces of equipment can be attached to a character, which will modify their attack, defense, and speed.

There are three classes of equipment. Orange equipment is based on weaponry and improves attack but lowers defense. Blue equipment is based on clothing and improves defense but lowers speed. Green equipment is based on footwear and improves speed but lowers attack. All three types can also bestow secondary effects, which may either be positive or negative.

Equipment types

Equipment comes in various types, which each have three rarities. Higher rarities result in stronger stat modifications. If a piece of equipment has an extra effect, it does not show its rarity.
