March of Giants Items

The March of Giants store holds 143 items across the same five tabs you see in a match: 28 Kinetic items for basic attack builds, 31 Alchemic items for ability builds, 15 Soldiers items for the army that follows you, 61 Survive items for health, armor and shields, and 13 Boots. A few items sit in two tabs at once.

Items are paid for with Merits, the currency you earn by last-hitting units, killing giants and destroying structures, and you buy them at your Arsenal or at a Shop Camp out on the map.

Most March of Giants items come in two tiers. A tier 1 item is a cheap stat boost, and it upgrades into one of several tier 2 items that add a stronger effect on top: Strong Strike becomes Stronger, Faster, Spell Strike or Gambler's Strike, and Alchemic Surplus becomes Alchemic Boost, Alchemic Surge or Alchemic Dispenser.

There are 28 of these upgrade trees, and the biggest is Boots, which every recommended build buys and which upgrades into seven different boots. The other 39 items stand on their own. Every item page shows the tree it belongs to, so you can see at a glance what a tier 1 purchase leads to.

Kinetic items push Kinetic Power, attack speed, critical strike chance and life steal for giants that win with their basic attack, while Alchemic items push Alchemic Power, cooldown speed and energy for giants that win with their abilities. Survive items add Max Health, Max Shield, Kinetic Armor, Alchemic Tolerance and Soldier Protection.

Soldiers items are unique to March of Giants: they make your rallied troops heal you, grant you power when they assault an enemy giant, or let you teleport to your own charge. Each item page also lists the recommended builds that use it.
