BBS Equipment Builds[]
What is BBS and what do the meters mean?
BBS, an official Chinese equivalent to HoYoLAB for miHoYo games, has a Honkai Impact 3 wiki on which they present Captains with what is generally agreed on to be the best equipment builds available, aimed towards both the new and the veteran Captains. BBS separates gear recommendations by what we'll refer to as "tiers" and "criteria".
Tiers serve as means of separating all the different gear builds. Available tiers:
- Recommended Equipment: Equipment build suited for what the battlesuit does the best. A lot of the times it's unique to just one specific battlesuit.
- Auxiliary Equipment: Extra equipment build specifically for Supports, providing Captains with more alternatives.
- Universal Equipment: Equipment build that is interchangeable with other characters performing the same role, without many drawbacks, or the most popular alternative to recommend equipment.
- Transitional Equipment: Equipment build that can be used as a placeholder until a better gear is acquired. Easy to get since most if not all items are farmable. Good when starting out.
Criteria are visualized via meters that fill until they reach 100% - at which point the build fully meets the set criteria. Available criteria:
- Offensive Ability: How much does the build help the battlesuit deal more dmg?
- Functionality: How functional the build is when put together?
- Compatibility: How well does the build fit the battlesuit's role/kit?
| Recommended Equipment | |
|---|---|

| Offensive Ability | 100% |

- The skill names are heavily inspired by chess glossary.
- Passive subskill [Castling] references a move in the game of chess involving a player's king and either of the player's original rooks. It is the only move in chess in which a player moves two pieces in the same move, and it is the only move aside from the knight's move where a piece can be said to "jump over" another.
- Passive subskill [Checkmate] references check. A check is a condition in chess that occurs when a player's king is under threat of capture on their opponent's next turn. A king so threatened is said to be in check. A player must get out of check, if possible, by interposing a piece between the threatening piece and the king, capturing the threatening piece, or moving the king to a square where it is no longer in check. If the player cannot move out of check, the game ends in checkmate and the player loses. Players cannot make any move that puts their own king in check.
- Passive subskill [Queen's Promotion] references a rule that requires a pawn that reaches its eighth rank to be replaced by the player's choice of a queen, knight, rook, or bishop of the same color.
- Ultimate subskill [Caro–Kann Bulwark] references Caro–Kann Defence.
- Evasion subskill [Giuoco's Serenity] references Giuoco Piano.
- Evasion subskill [Evans Assault] references Evans Gambit.
- Basic ATK subskill [Seize the Center] references Center Game.
- Basic ATK subskill [King's Gambit] references a chess opening in which a White player sacrifices material, usually a pawn, with the hope of achieving a resulting advantageous position.
- Basic ATK subskill [Falkbeer's Counter] references a countergambit to a King's Gambit.
