What is Weapon Inheritance?
Weapon Inheritance in Hongtu Returns lets players transfer powerful stats from high-level gear to weaker equipment. This helps players keep favorite low-level gear while boosting combat performance.
Step 1: Open the Weapon Inheritance Menu
Start by opening your character’s equipment screen. Look for the “Weapon Inheritance” button in the bottom-right corner. Click it to enter the inheritance system.
Step 2: Choose Your High-Level Weapon
In the Weapon Inheritance screen, select the strong weapon whose stats you want to transfer. Click “Select Weapon” to confirm.
Step 3: Pick the Stats to Transfer
Next, choose specific attributes (e.g., attack power, critical chance) from your high-level weapon. You can transfer one or multiple stats depending on game rules.
Step 4: Select Your Low-Level Gear
After picking stats, choose the weaker weapon or gear you want to upgrade. This is the item that will receive the transferred stats.
Step 5: Confirm Costs and Finalize
The game will show the required in-game currency and materials (e.g., gold, rare stones) for the transfer. Review the costs, then click “Confirm Inheritance” to complete the process.
Important Notes About Costs
Weapon Inheritance uses valuable resources. Always check if you have enough currency/materials before confirming. Plan wisely to avoid wasting resources on weaker gear.
Why Use Weapon Inheritance?
Keep using low-level gear you like (e.g., for appearance or nostalgia).
Save time by avoiding the grind for new high-level gear.
Experiment with custom stat combinations.
Risks and Tips
Risk: Overusing inheritance can drain resources fast.
Tip: Prioritize transferring rare stats (e.g., +30% crit damage).
Warning: Some stats might not transfer fully—check game rules first.
Final Result: A Stronger Low-Level Weapon
After inheritance, your low-level gear gains the selected stats from the high-level weapon. Its base level stays the same, but its combat power improves significantly.
