Ultimate Archero 2 Tier List [Best Gear, Skills, Characters & Runes]

Archero 2 has few differences compared to the first game, which means you'll have to devise new builds and strats from scratch. Well, not really, as we've tested out everything for you. So, without further ado, here is our ultimate Archero 2 tier list, explaining the best skills, runes, weapons, gear, and characters in the game!

This post is a compilation of all our Archero 2 tier lists. If you want to delve deeper and find out why we ranked everything the way we did, check out the main tier list articles:

• Archero 2 Characters Tier List

Archero 2 Skill Tier List

In the image above, you can find the tier list of all skills in Archero 2. For a more in-depth guide on all the skills and their pros & cons, check out our main skills tier list. Also, note that the skill choices will largely depend on which other skills you already have and your gear and rune build. So, don't just blindly pick up whichever skill option is the highest on the tier list.

Archero 2 Gear Set Tier List

Here is the ranking of all gear sets in Archero 2. Generally, Oracle and Dragoon sets are the best, though the Griffin set has its value for PvP. Echo, Destruction, and Decisiveness sets are just weaker versions of the S-Tier sets and will become just fodder for you at some point. For a complete guide on all the gear sets and individual pieces, see our main gear tier list.

Archero 2 Gear & Weapons Tier List

In the tier list above, we ranked each piece of gear and every weapon in the game individually. We put more weight on each item's PvE performance, as PvE progression is the most important part of your Archero 2 journey. Again, check out the main gear tier list we linked above for more in-depth information.

Archero 2 Rune Tier List - PvE

Here is the PvE ranking of all runes in Archero 2. Note that we ranked both Meteor and Sprite runes lower as those tend to underperform in PvE. On the other hand, any main weapon-buffing rune or anything that gives you luck or helps with Circle/Strike skills is ranked higher. See our main runes tier list for a complete rundown of each rune's pros and cons.

Archero 2 Rune Tier List - PvP

Here is the PvP ranking all runes in Archero 2. Here, Meteors (Rain of Fury is just too OP) and Sprites got a huge up-rank, and anything that has value only in PvE is now stuck at the bottom. Strike and Circle runes can work somewhat, though they all pale in comparison to Rain of Fury.

Archero 2 Character Tier List

Here is our ranking of all the characters in Archero 2. Generally, Dracoola and Otta are considered the best all-around characters in the game. Seraph is a good character for PvE because of her skill passives. Alex, Nyanja, and Helix all provide little value in PvE. However, Helix is actually really good for PvP, and Alex is the best PvP character once you max him out. More on that in our main characters tier list.

And that concludes our ultimate Archero 2 tier list. If you need more gems to roll for that S-Tier gear and get everything else in the game, redeem the Archero 2 codes we collected. Also, see our beginner's guide for more tips and tricks.
