Archero 2 Gear Weapons Tier List All Gear Sets Ranked
Archero 2 Gear Set Tier List
Archero 2 Gear & Weapons Tier List
In the tier lists above, we ranked all the gear sets and weapons in Archero 2 based on their overall strength across all game content. The first image is the overall ranking of every gear set, and the second is the individual ranking of each piece of gear/weapon (ranking explanations are below). Which gear set you use in the early game boils down to which set you have with the highest fusion rank (check out our Archero 2 beginner’s guide for more tips, including which gear chests you should open). Once you start fusing Legendary gear or getting Epic S-Tier gear, you should start focusing on maxing out specific pieces.
Oracle Set (Oracle Spear) - S Tier
The Oracle set is the best all-around gear set in Archero 2 right now, and that’s why it’s at the top of the tier list. The increased CRIT and CRIT DMG from the passives are insane, and the Combo is an OP mechanic you can abuse with virtually any fast-attacking skill. It’s the set that you should aim to get first out of all S-Tier gear.
Dragoon Set (Crossbow of the Dragoon) - S Tier
The Dragoon set is ranked second on the tier list overall, and it’s by far the best gear set in terms of boss DPS in Archero 2. It’s also decent for PvP, though still not better than the Griffin set. However, some of its pieces are really bad, so to make a good build, it’s usually best to combine the Dragoon set with a few pieces from the Griffin set for the best balance of PvP/PvE power.
Griffin Set (Griffin Claw) - A Tier
The third on the tier list is the Griffin set, which is the best gear set for PvP in Archero 2. It focuses on short-range power, and that’s what the Arena forces on you. Its PvE power is underwhelming, though, as the melee gameplay is quite risky, and you need to go melee if you want to maximize your damage output.
Echo Set (Beam Staff) - B Tier
The Echo gear set is a worse version of the Oracle set, and it’s the one you should go for in the early game in Archero 2. It’s the best of the non-S-Tier sets for PvE, and it’ll help you clear the campaign chapters, which is the most important thing for progression.
Destruction Set (Heroic Longbow) - B Tier
The Destruction set is virtually the same as the Dragoon set, though you don’t get all the best passives. It’s solid for PvE once you get it to epic/legendary rarity, though the Echo set is just a bit more versatile.
Decisiveness Set (Agile Knuckles) - C Tier
The Decisiveness set is a watered-down version of the Griffin set and is all-around bad, except for the amulet, which has the OP passive for PvP: 2x DMG counter to nearby enemies. So, upgrade the amulet to legendary and use it for PvP; for the rest of the set, just use it as fodder.
How Does Combo Work in Archero 2?
Combo is a special mechanic that requires you to use either the Beam Staff or the Oracle Spear. By getting consecutive hits without a break, your combo counter will increase, and your combo passives will trigger. Once you stop attacking, the counter will reset, and you will have to stack combo again. Now that you’ve gone through our tier list and know which gear and weapons are best in Archero 2 and why, it’s time you optimize your build and unstuck yourself both in Arena and in the campaign.
