Aquaman’s Gear Build

Very important and there are a couple things to mind regarding gear:

Aquaman’s Emblem Priority

In the early game, focus on getting Aquaman’s Emblem to Level 10 to unlock basic stat boosts that help him survive initial PvE stages. As you move into the mid-game, pushing to Level 20 or 25 is vital because it significantly enhances his healing utility and team-wide damage reduction. The true power spike occurs at Level 30, where he gains starting Invulnerability, allowing you to completely stop using Speed gear in favor of pure Block stats. This progression is essential for his synergy with Mera, as it scales the Sacrifice mechanic to keep your entire backline alive. Ultimately, neglecting his Emblem leaves him too squishy for late-game content, making it one of the highest resource priorities in the game.

Aquaman’s Artifact

You can equip any class artifact to any hero and they will benefit differently well from that. Here’s the priority on how the ones that work will perform so you can pick the strongest option you have:

Please mind that new artifacts are released so this will grow more complex in the future, right now the artifacts are quite hirarchichal on the heroes,means use the highest rarity one on your strongest hero and so on when assinging them to your team.
