The six named in the 1 October Demo launch post: - Treasure Hunter’s Waist Plate - Fleeting Time Pocket Watch - Flame Gem - Molten Orb - Poison Swamp Copper Key - Flame Ring Source: [Demo launch post, 1 Oct 2026](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/4740930/view/1845383656379493); total from the [achievement list](https://legendofdefenders.com/achievements/). ## Gems Recruiting also drops **Gems**, which go in their own slots and give team-wide bonuses. Names seen on launch day include the Weapon, Vitality, Arcane, Thunder, Toxin, Gold, Experience and Summoning Gems; the Weapon Gem raised Physical damage by 25% in one save ([AboboKnows 3:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSpOuExSDiI&t=195s)). We list the full gem effects once we can confirm them. ## Units we have only seen in passing Bloom and Glacier show up in recruit results and turret lists in gameplay videos, but no source says what they do yet, so they are not listed above. ## Element tags A colored tag means a source states that element: Fire Ice Poison . No tag means the source does not say. Physical damage also exists (talents refer to "Physical Heroes"). Looking for team ideas? The [guide's combo section](https://legendofdefenders.com/guide/#combos) puts these units together. ## From the store page Screenshots © KaiPlay Studio, from the [Steam store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4740930/Legend_of_Defenders/).
