There are two things you need to understand about equipment in Archero – it’s extremely powerful and important for your long-term success and contributes the most power to your hero plus it’s really hard to upgrade. So, if you choose to upgrade the wrong equipment, you can get stuck later and have a huge wall to climb when you need to bring some other equipment to the same level. Do not waste a lot of time and work on the right equipment from the start.
For that reason I have here my frequently updated tier list that will show you which equipment is the strongest that you should invest in right from the start.
Important! Don’t miss out on any rewards as the developers started posting gift codes again! You can find all active codes here in our updated gift code list for Archero.
How To Know What The Best Equipment Is
Many player only watch the base stats of an equipment piece or simply take the one that they have fused to the highest rarity level – but there’s much more that contributes to that and the individual special abilities of each equipment piece make it unique. Those abilities often make the difference between (nearly) useless and really powerful!
Updated! This tier list now includes the new S-Grade equipment released in July 2023
Enough foreplay, let’s dive into the equipment and see what items are the best in Archero.

Best Ring Combinations
You want to combine them smartly to get a full spectrum of benefits. Here are the three combinations that make sense
Why No Double-Ring Combinations?
In Archero you have to fuse your equipment and it will be hard enough to fuse one ring to epic or legendary. Doing that with two of the same is nearly impossible so fusing different ones and combining them is by far more effective!
#1 – Bull Ring + Lion Ring
The best combination because you get damage boost against bosses and mobs, basically every possible enemy except the spikes or saws in the ground. You get more crit damage and damage reduction as well – this is the go-to combo.
#2 Serpent Ring + Wolf Ring
This is the second-best combination of rings in Archero and will also give you the damage boost against melee and ranged units (including bosses). You get the extra dodge and the higher critical change to make it a powerful combo as well.
#3 – Bear Ring + Falcon Ring
Also gives you damage boost against any enemy by combining increased damage against ground and air units (including bosses). The extra HP and attack speed although is not as powerful as what the ring combinations above give.
Conclusion
I hope this guide helped you choose what equipment you want to build in the long run in Archero and make your character the strongest possible. If you have questions or think I ranked any piece of gear wrong, please comment below and I’ll be happy to reply.

For the ring combination, which one should i pair it with the expedition ring?
*edit
and also how does fusing items with similar rarity work? I just got the expedition ring from the prismastone chest, and im able to fuse other different rings that are of the same rarity which i am totally confuse about.
Because i read a post where u said u can fuse diff items (in the same category) of the same perfect epic rarity but when i tried it out, it still requires me to have the same items.
For the ring combination, which one should i pair it with the expedition ring?
Could someone help me and explain something to me?
I don’t really get why you placed the Frozen Bracelet on first and the Invincible Bracelet on last place.
On the frozen bracelet you say it is the best because „you don’t get instantly spammed“ with it. And the Invincible Bracelet is the worst because you „almost never get smacked instantly anyway if you enter a new room.“
But actually you are even longer invincible than the enemies are frozen. And the additional attack boost is the same. So why shouldn’t you just go with the invincible one? Did I miss something? Would be really nice if someone could explain it to me 🙂 thanks!
Imo, invincibility bracelet doesn’t work as well because of the travel time of enemy projectiles/movement. An enemy that rushes you right away is still in your face when the invincibility wears off. If frozen however, it never moved. Same with bullets… Invincibility doesn’t stop enemies from shooting, and it feels really bad when your shield wears off right before you get hit. If frozen, they won’t even shoot, and that’s one less thing to dodge. But neither is a bad option, it will be determined by your play style.
While I do enjoy the enlightenment spell book and getting extra skills in battle, you are absolutely incorrect about it taking the same amount of time to fill as the Ice Realm book. I only have my Ice Realm at an epic and I have nearly +1000 frost damage and 100% of the room is effected. Attack speed is +20% and power speed +25%. At perfect epic it will add +2 seconds to the time enemies remain frozen. I use this ability 30-60 times per run. Yes, I am able to use it twice in the same room depending on the amount of enemies. I would strongly recommend this book and advise better research be done. Good luck!
The frost book becomes very viable once you get perfect epic, it will freeze whole room most the time, and for quite an amount of time, in addition you get an attack power and speed buff, while their frozen, your basically free to melt the room, it recharges at a decent rate as well. It can be used in situations where there’s that certain room u hate, say the one filled with bombers or scythe mages and you want to clear that room with no damage. Every 2-5 levels depending on how often your hit
who told you that every spellbook takes the same time to fill up??? thats bs… AoC needs 5kills/take hits to fill up enlightment needs ~10-20 floors to fill up once and the other two needs about half of that !
so im nit really confident about your tier list here.. with lots of false informations… at least its updateded to the last patch
