# Equipment, runes and gems points towards hero stats.

There are a few different ways to obtain stats for your Hero.

Equipment gives the amount of stats it shows on the card; for example, +3 attack = 3 stat points.

Gems/Runes on the other hand, give stats compared to rarity to balance out using "force" Runes which normally don't affect the Hero but only the types of monsters you can add to your team. The stats for runes and gems are as follows:

* Common: +1 stat point.
* Rare: +3 stat points.
* Epic: +5 stat points.
* Legendary: +7 stat points.

Which means that this bow with three legendary Turquoises will give +8 stat points for the ranged attack and +7 stat points per Turquoise, which in total equals +29 stat points - so it is not necessarily hard to hit the minimum!:
