I am using “Golden Cog” as my weapon right now as my team mainly revolves around Rowanne and this way I can easily boost her armor. Last week I decided to upgrade my weapon and spent some ingots - but what’s the advantage? [https://9apps.ooo](https://9apps.ooo) I get it on a damage dealing weapon, that damage increases but with the Golden Cog I saw no change. Is it worth it to upgrade further?

First, there is this type of upgrades that give your hero stats at the start of the battle… ![cog1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/c/b/cb73bc6091f750c79739e5d00b8cbe4bc8884bb0.jpeg) …and then there are these that activate every time you cast the weapon. ![cog2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/a/9a10f8bc27fb3ef8475bc93233210a2503858734.jpeg) You just look at them and ask yourself - am I okay with spending ingots on this? (Well, none of them really benefits Rowanne team, if that’s what you’re asking.)
