If you want to build a Close Build Build in Archero 2, you need to have a couple things in place, espcially the gear you need to use and the core skills to pick to make this builds run as smoothly as possible. If youโ€™re not sure thatโ€™s the build you want to go for, please check out all the available and viable builds here in our builds overview.

Best Gear For Close Build

Builds in Archero 2 need the right equipment (sets) to be used since the bonus there is very much important. Even with lower rarity gear, which is a huge difference to how gear works in Archero (1/Original). Hereโ€™s the gear you want to use with this build:

Important! This is the recommended gear but also other gear is more universally working. We have all possible gear items ranked for all builds here in our general gear guide so you can see what other gear can also work with this build.

If you donโ€™t have Griffin Claw, you can always use Agile Knuckles, espcially if you have a higher rarity with them. Chest gear as wellโ€ฆ. Griffin Armor is working the best but alternatively Armor of Decisiveness is a possibility as well. For amulet rings the perfect setup would be Griffin Amulet but unless you spend a ton of money this is impossible to build and merge, so Amulet of Decisiveness is always an alternative that you can use. Same for the other gear in terms of sets, you get the ideaโ€ฆ

Best Character For Close Build

Although characters are quite universal, some do have synergies that make them work better for certain builds. If youโ€™re interested in more details, please refer to our full character guide in Archero 2 here.

Best Enchantments

The 1.0.15 Hot Update brought an interesting feature which is rune enchantments after you have a rune at Epic +2 rarity and you have to farm the Enchantium in the Shackles Jungle and re-roll until you have a bonus enchantment on your rune that you like. Long story short, the system is not new and heavily RNG and once you re-roll you canโ€™t get back and now everyone is asking for a strategy here.

Theย easy-to-apply strategy is that the options are all pretty good andย rarity wins. Just look how crazy high the red and yellow stats are:

archero 2 enchantment example

Look how crazy those stats scale, for example BOSS DMG that starts with 0.3% at green and does +15% at red!!! Thatโ€™s 50 times as much! They beat everything else by far so roll for that and if you get a higher rarity enchantment take it gradually. If we would wild theory craft here, technically some stats would be better than others but if you get +15% on a stat it always is better than a lower rarity stat that theoretically is a little better. Donโ€™t over-complicate and gradually work on rune enchantments to get the purple rarity enhancements and youโ€™re good. Everything above that is bonus for now.
