If you run Worm as your survivor in Survivor.io, there are quite some tricky parts to look at when it comes to the gear to use, the weapon to use and also what active and passive skills to pick in order to get the best performance overall. We tested the different setups in hundreds of runs in various modes to give you a guide as much simplified as possible so you don’t have to spend hours of doing those runs yourself.
Disclaimer! For Enders Echo the build is not applying, but we have a dedicated build guide here for that: Enders Echo + Event Builds.
Best Gear For Worm in Survivor.io
When looking at gear, there are a couple ones to use and we tried to order them in progress so it makes sense. The idea is to start with a starter build that uses gear items that also are used in higher builds so you can evolve the build throughout the stages.
Starter Build
The Start Build is basically your baseline where you want to be before you decide what higher-rarity gear you will get while still scaling and being able to clear chapter and do events at a point where rewards will let you progress. The Starter Build pretty much is the easiest to evolve into the Army Belt Build below that is the best build for mid-game and entry late-game
Army Belt Build
The Army Belt Build uses the shield effect of the Army Belt AF3 effect to gain a shield when killing elites and then stay out of damage with using other S-Rank gear that you will also be able to use later. This build is primarily used in mid-game and considered the most efficient and available build for most players and can then be the base to evolve into the endgame builds like the Deathword build
Deathword Build
The Deathword Build is the easier of the current viable endgame builds but you need to heavily invest into the AF levels with gloves and necklace and chest ideally being AF3. It doesn’t appear a huge jump from the Army Belt build but with the Forge investment it’s not that easy to accomplish but you will be easily able to cheat death with it
Everoid Build
The Everoid Build is, and please don’t take this the wrong way, not a viable build for most players and requires heavy invest of money at certain points to build. This is right now the absolute best build you can run in gear
Best Skill Picks For Worm in Survivor.io
Now it gets more interesting, since the skills you pick must synergize with the weapon you’re using, which means that they depend on the weapon you run with your build. Please refer to the section that applies to the weapon you use! If you’re not sure what weapons are working well, please refer to our general weapon guide here
Please mind that these are quite priorities and shouldn’t be looked at too strict, sometimes you just don’t get the skills you need but this will give you an ideal list of what skills to pick early on to get where you want to go.
