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 you’re not sure that’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). Here’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 don’t have Griffin Claw, you can always use Agile Knuckles, espcially if you have a higher rarity with them. Chest gear as well…. 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 idea…
Best Character For Close Build
Although characters are quite universal, some do have synergies that make them work better for certain builds. If you’re interested in more details, please refer to our full character guide in Archero 2 here.
