# ITEMS UPGRADE

The strength of your cyber-yakuza is not only determined by their attributes but also by the power of their items.

## HOW IT WORKS

Higher level items are more effective in combat. Players can upgrade item level by <mark style="color:red;">**combining three identical items**</mark>, with a chance of success.

**Example of items combination**&#x20;

If a player has three identical items, he can attempt to upgrade them. The player can choose the upgrade level they want to try, either +1, +2, or +3 levels. The chances of success for each upgrade level are as follows:

* +1 level upgrade: 90% chance of success
* +2 level upgrade: 40% chance of success
* +3 level upgrade: 25% chance of success

If the upgrade is successful, the player will receive one higher level item in exchange for the three lower level items. However, if the upgrade fails, only one of the three items will be kept, while the remaining two will be burned.
