Winning clashes between the strong, reliably stomping weaker opponents, even, she had reached the level of the strong crushing the weak. For the first time, Jiang Han felt the terrifyingly direct boost in power that equipment could bring. Her gear had been fairly good in the past, but most witches could still get their hands on one or two pieces on par with her main equipment. It was like pulling gear in some gacha game: while her core gear was SSR, ordinary people generally had one or two SSR pieces on them as well.
It could not produce a complete, across-the-board crushing advantage.
The basic equipment stats of top-tier witches were roughly double Jiang Han's, making the advantage of her good gear even less apparent. Black Source Matter equipment was indeed vicious, but even such vicious equipment could not defy the established rules and grant limitless advantages. Others could also accumulate quantitative changes until they became qualitative ones. Black Source Matter gear leaned toward defense, while Jiang Han's greatest problem was insufficient damage output.
Unsuitable equipment, unsuitable combinations, too few choices.
Together, these factors were why Jiang Han had failed to bring out the potential of her equipment.
But with the support of Eileen's equipment vault, Jiang Han's gear had reached the standard of a top-tier witch. Generally speaking, most top-tier witches found it difficult to possess equipment as luxurious as hers. Eileen's equipment vault was so lavish because she had monopolized most of the world's channels for producing legendary equipment. Of course, many materials appeared through refreshes caused by unexpected events, and those were beyond her ability to monopolize. What she could monopolize, however, were the powerful legendary craftsmen.
Even the channels for all 116 Echo Giant Cat Lamps currently known in the world were basically under her control.
