Archero 2 Gear & Weapons Tier List: All Sets Ranked

Whether you’re F2P or P2W, gear is the hardest thing to grind in Archero 2, and that’s why it’s super important that you invest only in the best sets. Which sets are those, you might wonder. Well, you’ll learn just that with our ultimate Archero 2 gear and weapons tier list below.

Archero 2 Gear Set Tier List

Archero 2 Gear & Weapons Tier List

In the tier lists above, we ranked all the gear sets and weapons in Archero 2 based on their overall strength across all game content. The first image is the overall ranking of every gear set, and the second is the individual ranking of each piece of gear/weapon (ranking explanations are below).

Which gear set you use in the early game boils down to which set you have with the highest fusion rank (check out our Archero 2 beginner’s guide for more tips, including which gear chests you should open). Once you start fusing Legendary gear or getting Epic S-Tier gear, you should start focusing on maxing out specific pieces.

Oracle Set (Oracle Spear) – S Tier

The Oracle set is the best all-around gear set in Archero 2 right now, and that’s why it’s at the top of the tier list. The increased CRIT and CRIT DMG from the passives are insane, and the Combo is an OP mechanic you can abuse with virtually any fast-attacking skill. It’s the set that you should aim to get first out of all S-Tier gear.

Gear	Bonuses	Pros & Cons
Oracle Spear	Fine: ATK PWR +5%Rare: DMG increases with Combo, up to 10%Epic: For every 5 Combo, CRIT Rate increases by 2%, up to 8%Legendary: ATK PWR +10%Legendary 3: Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: For every 5 Combo, CRIT Rate increases by 4%, up to 16%	+ The best weapon for PvE in Archero 2– The worst S-Tier weapon for PvP

Oracle Ring	Fine: ATK PWR +5%Rare: CRIT Rate +3%Epic: For every 5 Combo, ATK SPD increases by 2%, up to 8%Legendary: ATK PWR +10%Legendary 3: Ring’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: For every 5 Combo, ATK SPD increases by 4%, up to 16%	+ The extra ATK SPD allows you to stack combo quicker– The total DPS increase from the ATK SPD passive isn’t that massive– Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff

Oracle Helmet	Fine: Max HP +5%Rare: Red Heart Heal +20%Epic: Gain 2x Combo on CRITLegendary: Max HP +10%Legendary 3: Helmet’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: Gain 3x Combo on CRIT	+ One of the best pieces of the set when you have everything maxed out– Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff– The combo gain can be useless if you aren’t stacking enough CRIT

Dragoon Set (Crossbow of the Dragoon) – S Tier

The Dragoon set is ranked second on the tier list overall, and it’s by far the best gear set in terms of boss DPS in Archero 2. It’s also decent for PvP, though still not better than the Griffin set. However, some of its pieces are really bad, so to make a good build, it’s usually best to combine the Dragoon set with a few pieces from the Griffin set for the best balance of PvP/PvE power.

Gear	Bonuses	Pros & Cons
Crossbow of the Dragoon	Fine: ATK PWR +5%Rare: 30% chance to trigger AoE explosion on hitEpic: Blast DMG +200%Legendary: ATK PWR +10%Legendary 3: Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: Doubles the chance to trigger AoE explosion on hit	+ The best boss DPS weapon in Archero 2+ Pretty good for both PvP and PvE
Amulet of the Dragoon	Fine: ATK PWR +5%Rare: CRIT DMG +12%Epic: Randomly detonates 2 monsters on the field every 2sLegendary: ATK PWR +10%Legendary 3: Amulet’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: Randomly detonates 4 monsters on the field every 2s	+ Can help with clearing mobs in PvE– One of the worst pieces of S-Tier gear in the game for PvP/boss DPS– Very little reason to upgrade it

Boots of the Dragoon	Fine: Max HP +5%Rare: Dodge +5%Epic: Triggers an explosion on the attacking monster when dodgingLegendary: Max HP +10%Legendary 3: Boots’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: Dodge +10%	+ Extremely good piece of gear in Archero 2 for both PvP and PvE+ The extra dodge can really come in clutch– Peaks only when you get it to mythic

Griffin Set (Griffin Claw) – A Tier

The third on the tier list is the Griffin set, which is the best gear set for PvP in Archero 2. It focuses on short-range power, and that’s what the Arena forces on you. Its PvE power is underwhelming, though, as the melee gameplay is quite risky, and you need to go melee if you want to maximize your damage output.

Gear	Bonuses	Pros & Cons
Griffin Claw	Fine: ATK PWR +5%Rare: The closer, the higher DMG, up to 10%Epic: The closer, the higher CRIT Rate, up to 9%Legendary: ATK PWR +10%Legendary 3: Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: The closer, the higher CRIT Rate, up to 18%	+ The best weapon for PvP in Archero 2– The worst S-Tier weapon for PvE

Griffin Ring	Fine: ATK PWR +5%Rare: CRIT Rate +3%Epic: CRIT Rate increases with more nearby monsters, up to 9%Legendary: ATK PWR +10%Legendary 3: Ring’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: CRIT Rate increases with more nearby monsters, up to 18%	+ The extra CRIT Rate can be useful even on the Oracle set+ Very good piece of gear for PvE– The DPS increase against bosses/players isn’t that great
Griffin Armor	Fine: Max HP +5%Rare: Barrage DMG REDUC +5%Epic: Deals continuous DMG on enemies within 7 metersLegendary: Max HP +10%Legendary 3: Armor’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: Doubles continuous DMG on enemies within 7 meters	+ One of the best pieces of gear for Claw/Knuckle builds– You want to constantly stand in melee, which is bad against bosses
Griffin Helmet	Fine: Max HP +5%Rare: Red Heart Heal +20%Epic: The closer, the higher CRIT DMG, up to 36%Legendary: Max HP +10%Legendary 3: Helmet’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: The closer, the higher CRIT DMG, up to 72%	+ One of the best pieces of gear for Claw/Knuckle builds+ One of the best pieces of gear for PvP– Doesn’t work well on non-Claw/Knuckle builds
Griffin Boots	Fine: Max HP +5%Rare: Dodge +5%Epic: CRIT DMG increases with more nearby monsters, up to 36%Legendary: Max HP +10%Legendary 3: Boots’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: CRIT DMG increases with more nearby monsters, up to 72%	+ Very good DPS increase against mobs if you can stack CRIT– One of the worst pieces of S-Tier gear for boss/PvP DPS

Echo Set (Beam Staff) – B Tier

The Echo gear set is a worse version of the Oracle set, and it’s the one you should go for in the early game in Archero 2. It’s the best of the non-S-Tier sets for PvE, and it’ll help you clear the campaign chapters, which is the most important thing for progression.

Gear	Bonuses	Pros & Cons
Beam Staff	Fine: NoneRare: ATK PWR +5%Epic: DMG increases with Combo, up to 10%Legendary: For every 5 Combo, CRIT Rate increases by 2%, up to 8%Legendary 3: Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: None	+ The best non-S-Tier weapon in Archero 2 for PvE– The worst weapon in the game for PvP

Echo Ring	Fine: NoneRare: ATK PWR +5%Epic: CRIT Rate +3%Legendary: For every 5 Combo, ATK SPD increases by 2%, up to 8%Legendary 3: Ring’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: None	– Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff– The extra bit of ATK SPD isn’t that amazing– One of the worst gear pieces in the game

Destruction Set (Heroic Longbow) – B Tier

The Destruction set is virtually the same as the Dragoon set, though you don’t get all the best passives. It’s solid for PvE once you get it to epic/legendary rarity, though the Echo set is just a bit more versatile.

Gear	Bonuses	Pros & Cons
Heroic Longbow	Fine: NoneRare: ATK PWR +5%Epic: 30% chance to trigger AoE explosion on hitLegendary: Blast DMG +200%Legendary 3: Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: None	+ The best non-S-Tier boss DPS weapon in Archero 2+ Pretty good for both PvP and PvE

Helmet of Destruction	Fine: NoneRare: Max HP +5%Epic: Red Heart Heal +20%Legendary: Each monster kill causes the next attack to trigger AoE explosionLegendary 3: Helmet’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: None	– One of the worst gear pieces in the game– Zero value against bosses/for PvP

Decisiveness Set (Agile Knuckles) – C Tier

The Decisiveness set is a watered-down version of the Griffin set and is all-around bad, except for the amulet, which has the OP passive for PvP: 2x DMG counter to nearby enemies. So, upgrade the amulet to legendary and use it for PvP; for the rest of the set, just use it as fodder.

Gear	Bonuses	Pros & Cons
Agile Knuckles	Fine: NoneRare: ATK PWR +5%Epic: The closer, the higher DMG, up to 10%Legendary: The closer, the higher CRIT Rate, up to 9%Legendary 3: Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%Mythic: None	+ The best non-S-Tier weapon for PvP in Archero 2– The worst weapon for PvE in the game

How Does Combo Work in Archero 2?

Combo is a special mechanic that requires you to use either the Beam Staff or the Oracle Spear. By getting consecutive hits without a break, your combo counter will increase, and your combo passives will trigger. Once you stop attacking, the counter will reset, and you will have to stack combo again.
