# Equipping and Power ### :hammer\_pick:Equipping Items Your hero can equip 9 items. Seven pieces of [armor](/items/armor.md) in the following slots: * Head * Back * Chest * Hands * Waist * Legs * Feet And two additional items, depending on class: * [Melee Weapon](/items/weapons-and-shields/melee-weapons.md) * [Magic Weapon](/items/weapons-and-shields/magic-weapons.md) * [Shield](/items/weapons-and-shields/shields.md) ### Chain Equip vs Game Equip **Chain Equip**: You can equip an item NFT to a hero NFT, which will cost gas. This process is covered in a separate section. (WIP, will link when complete). **Game Equip:** When you equip an item in the discord game (whether it is an NFT item or a degen item) it will be equipped to your hero for gameplay, but will not change the hero NFT's appearance or items. It will also not effect certain player vs player challenges such as web and Twitter duels. ### :zap:Power is a critical stat for every pixel hero. Every item has a power rating that reflects the overall benefits it brings when used by a hero. But a hero only has so much power—and so many hands—so must choose which items to use. The hero's power cap limits the total power of all items equipped. If a hero tries to equip an item that would result in their total equipped power exceeding their power cap, the hero will not be able to equip that item. * Power Cap for NFT Heroes: :zap:**1300** * Power Cap for Discord Heroes: :zap:**1000** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
