Legendary Strategy Items (Gold)

Legendary Strategy items come with increased boosts on the front of the item compared to their Epic version. Instead of needing to be paired with another Strategy Item to receive its bonus boost, Legendary Strategy items account for x2 Components and unlock the Strong Arm or Zone boost by themselves.

Let It Rip (QB/OL)
- +3 THP, +3 IBL, +3 DAC
- x2 Strong Arm or x2 In The Zone Components
In The Zone (DB)
- +4 ZCV, +3 PRC, +2 PRS
- x2 Strong Arm or x2 In The Zone Components

Chem Boosts

Every Epic (Purple) Strategy item in MUT has multiple variations with a different bonus chem boost. While Legendary (Gold) Strategy items account for x2 Components, Epic Tier items only account for x1 Component and need to be paired with another Epic Strategy item with a matching bonus chem symbol to receive the extra boost. For example, if I have Epic Tier Pave The Way with the Blitz chem symbol, I need an Epic Tier item from the defensive side of the ball that also has the Blitz symbol to receive the +1 FMV boost from the Blitz chem.

After days of checking the Auction House and recording the different variations I saw, it appears that every Epic Strategy item has a variation for each one of the following bonus chem boosts (24 variations each):

Blitz - Boosts all DL

Requires 2 Components (+1 FMV)

Bull - Boosts all DL

Requires 2 Components (+1 PMV)

Drive - Boosts all OL

Requires 2 Components (+1 PBP)

Elusive Back - Boosts all HB/QB

Requires 2 Components (+1 BTK)

Strategy Item Sets

Always upgrade your Common (Gray), Uncommon (Green), and Rare (Blue) Strategy Items in sets until you reach Epic Tier items for the best quicksell value!

Uncommon Strategy Item - Exchange 6x Common Strategy Items for 1x Random Uncommon Strategy Item.
Rare Strategy Item - Exchange 4x Uncommon Strategy Items for 1x Random Rare Strategy Item.
Epic Strategy Item - Exchange 2x Rare Strategy Items for 1x Random Epic Strategy Item.
