Boosted Gear¶
The Red Dragon Emperor's Sacred Gear, with Ddraig sealed inside: a crimson gauntlet on your right arm that doubles
your power every 10 seconds. It is a Tensura Unique Skill (dxdtensura:boosted_gear).
The gauntlet grows with you. It starts as a plain red gauntlet with two gold horns, becomes a crimson dragon claw, and finally the Boosted Gear Gift. Further on wait the Scale Mail, the dragon form of Juggernaut Drive, and powers taken from its rival, Albion.
Modes¶
| # | Mode | Unlocks | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Boost | from the start | Charge a stack (×2) every 10 s, then press again for "Explosion!": your bare fist hits ×2ⁿ for 15 s |
| 1 | Transfer | Boosted Gear Gift (100% mastery) | Give your stacks to a creature or ally you look at |
| 2 | Dragon Shot | Base form (40% mastery) | Fire a red energy ball that grows with your stacks |
| 3 | Summon / Dismiss | from the start | Put the gauntlet away, or bring it back |
| 4 | Balance Breaker | awakening in a crisis, or Ddraig's Bargain | Put on the Scale Mail |
| 5 | Ascalon Blade | while you hold Ascalon or keep it in the gear | Store Ascalon in the gear and slide its blade out of your fist |
| 6 | Divide | taking Albion's power | Divide an enemy with your left hand, in the Scale Mail only |
The numbers are the mode numbers for /ability set dxdtensura:boosted_gear <mode> <slot>.
Summoning and dismissing¶
- While the gauntlet is away, any press summons it. "Boosted Gear!", at no cost and with nothing else happening. Summoning is silent in the Initial form and plays the summon call from the Base form on.
- The Summon / Dismiss mode puts it away ("Boosted Gear dismissed."). It costs nothing and has no cooldown.
- Dismissing while charging clears your stacks. Dismissing during an Explosion counts as releasing the power, so the Boost cooldown starts.
- Tensura's cooldown badges keep counting while the gauntlet is away.
The Passive Ability toggle
The skill's Passive Ability toggle in Tensura's Status Menu does not summon or dismiss the gauntlet. From the Boosted Gear Gift on, it switches Penetrate.
The Sacred Gear panel¶
While the gauntlet is out, the panel to the right of your hotbar shows:
- a ring around the gauntlet's green jewel, counting down to the next stack while you charge, the seconds left in an Explosion, or the Boost cooldown;
- the gear's name;
- your stacks as red diamonds, with your power (
×2ⁿ); - your form, your mastery percentage, and a bar of your progress to the next form;
- the key of your first Boosted Gear slot, with its mode.
The panel changes in the Scale Mail, in Juggernaut Drive and with Divide. Only you see it, and F1 hides it. On a screen too narrow for it, a one-line counter appears left of the hotbar instead.

Clones and copies¶
A copy of the skill on another creature starts idle. Tensura's Body Double and Reaper clones copy all of your skills, but a clone made during your Explosion gets no stacks and no ×2ⁿ, and an Explosion never outlasts its 15 s.
