When talking about gear in Archero 2, there are a couple things that the game makes different to the first Archero game that I want to give you here since gear is more about sets now. But one step after another, we have here all you need about gear that will help you to not merge gear that you shouldn’t merge into each other and also understand what gear items and sets should be high on your priority list.
Attention, this is a guide about the best gear in Archero 2, if you’re looking for the best gear in the original Archero, please click here.
Gear & Gear Sets in Archero 2
Unlike gear in the original Archero game, in Archero 2 things are more about build and archetypes (right now we have combo, blast and close but there are more coming soon. If you want more insights to that, please check out our build overview for Archero 2 here where you find more details about each of them and recommended builds for each of them.
So, sets in Archero 2 are not like in other games about set bonus, sets are simply gear that has the same name but also contributes towards the same damage archetype (combo, close, blast) so you can mix different sets but they should all buff your build archetype (again, please check the guide linked above).
Best Gear in Archero 2
Below you will find the different sets we have right now and what builds they work with.
Combo Build
Best Gear Set Pieces for a Combo Build that increase the combo count and/or provide buffs for a high combo count
Blast Build
Best Gear Set Pieces for a Blast Build that wither trigger more explosions or enhance Blast damage
Close Range Build
Best Gear Set Pieces for a Close-Range Build that increase the damage dealt for enemies that are close to you
Conclusion
I hope this list helped you prioritize what gear items to work on and I always recommend to rather wait merging a bit than throwing yourself back with a merge that doesn’t make sense.
