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 Amulet | Fine: ATK PWR +5% Rare: CRIT DMG +12% Epic: For every 5 Combo, the next DMG is doubled Legendary: ATK PWR +10% Legendary 3: Amulet's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: For every 3 Combo, the next DMG is doubled | + The combo passive provides a 20-33% DPS increase + The extra bit of CRIT DMG is nice – Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff |
 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 Armor | Fine: Max HP +5% Rare: Barrage DMG REDUC +5% Epic: For every 5 Combo, the next hit gains 2 diagonal arrows Legendary: Max HP +10% Legendary 3: Armor's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: For every 5 Combo, the next hit gains 4 diagonal arrows | + The extra diagonal arrows can be massive if you get Tracking Shot – Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff – The boss DPS increase isn't relevant without proper skills – One of the least important parts of the Oracle Set |
 Oracle Helmet | Fine: Max HP +5% Rare: Red Heart Heal +20% Epic: Gain 2x Combo on CRIT Legendary: 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 |
 Oracle Boots | Fine: Max HP +5% Rare: Dodge +5% Epic: Crit DMG increases by 32% when Combo exceeds 30 Legendary: Max HP +10% Legendary 3: Boots's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: Crit DMG increases by 48% when Combo exceeds 20 | + The extra Crit DMG is good if you are stacking enough CRIT + The extra dodge is good for PvP – Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff |
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 hit Epic: 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 2s Legendary: 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 |
 Ring of the Dragoon | Fine: ATK PWR +5% Rare: CRIT Rate +3% Epic: Chance to drop a landmine when killing an enemy, which explodes after a short time Legendary: ATK PWR +10% Legendary 3: Ring's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: Guarantees landmine drop on enemy kill | + 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 |
 Armor of the Dragoon | Fine: Max HP +5% Rare: Barrage DMG REDUC +5% Epic: Gain 1 Flame Shield that lasts for 10s; when damaged it shatters and explodes upon being hit again Legendary: Max HP +10% Legendary 3: Armor's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: Slowly restore HP while Flame Shield is active | + One of the best pieces of gear for PvE in Archero 2 + The extra survivability when maxed out is invaluable – Useless in PvP |
 Helmet of the Dragoon | Fine: Max HP +5% Rare: Red Heart Heal +20% Epic: Each monster kill causes the next attack to trigger AoE explosion Legendary: Max HP +10% Legendary 3: Helmet's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: Monsters within the explosion radius are ignited | + 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 dodging Legendary: 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 Amulet | Fine: ATK PWR +5% Rare: CRIT DMG +12% Epic: Counter with 2x DMG to nearby monsters Legendary: ATK PWR +10% Legendary 3: Amulet's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: Counter with 4x DMG to nearby monsters | + The most broken piece of gear for PvP in Archero 2 + Extremely good even on epic fusion level – Borderline useless in PvE |

 Griffin Armor | Fine: Max HP +5% Rare: Barrage DMG REDUC +5% Epic: Deals continuous DMG on enemies within 7 meters Legendary: 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: None Rare: 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 Amulet | Fine: None Rare: ATK PWR +5% Epic: CRIT DMG +12% Legendary: For every 5 Combo, the next DMG is doubled Legendary 3: Amulet's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: None | + Flat 20% DMG boost on legendary is nice for a non-S-Tier piece of gear – Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff |
 Echo Ring | Fine: None Rare: 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 |
 Echo Armor | Fine: None Rare: Max HP +5% Epic: Barrage DMG REDUC +5% Legendary: For every 5 Combo, the next hit gains 2 diagonal arrows Legendary 3: Armor's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: None | – Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff – The boss DPS increase isn't relevant without proper skills – One of the worst gear pieces in the game |
 Echo Helmet | Fine: None Rare: Max HP +5% Epic: Red Heart Heal +20% Legendary: Gain 2x Combo on CRIT Legendary 3: Helmet's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: None | – Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff – Doesn't work if you're not stacking enough CRIT – One of the worst gear pieces in the game |
 Echo Boots | Fine: None Rare: Max HP +5% Epic: Dodge +5% Legendary: Crit DMG increases by 32% when Combo exceeds 30 Legendary 3: Boots's base stats increased by 20% Mythic: None | + The extra dodge is good for PvP – Only works with the Oracle Spear/Beam Staff – Doesn't work if you're not stacking enough CRIT |
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: None Rare: ATK PWR +5% Epic: 30% chance to trigger AoE explosion on hit Legendary: 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: None Rare: Max HP +5% Epic: Red Heart Heal +20% Legendary: Each monster kill causes the next attack to trigger AoE explosion Legendary 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: None Rare: 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.
