Best Archero 2 Tier List Guide: Best Skills, Weapons, Gear, and Characters

Last Updated on 20 January, 2025

Archero 2 is not exactly the same as the first game, so you’ll need to come up with new builds and strategies. We’ve tried everything for you, so no, really.

Without further ado, here is our final Archero 2 tier list, which shows which skills, weapons, gear, and characters are the best in the game!

Archero 2 Skill Tier List

The picture above shows a list of all the levels of all the skills in Archero 2.

The decisions you make about your skills depend a lot on the type of gear you’re using, such as Staff, Crossbow/Longbow, Claw/Knuckles, and so on.

So, think of this list as a ranking of all the skills in Archero 2 by how powerful they are.

Some skills are less useful and harder to use when they are lower ranked, while skills that are better ranked are more useful when they are lower ranked.

The following tables show all of Archero 2 skills, broken down by how rare they are, along with their stats and benefits.

Archero 2 Gear Set/Weapon List & Power Ranking

We ranked all of Archero 2 gear sets and weapons below by how well they worked in all parts of the game. In the early game, the gear you use depends on which set has the best fusion rank.

Your choice of passives should be taken into account when you start to fuse Legendary gear or get Epic S-Tier gear.

Anyway, here is the power list, along with the stats and passives for each piece of gear:

1. Dragoon Set – Crossbow of the Dragoon

Because of its on–hit passives, the Dragon set has a lot of skills that shoot things.

The set as a whole is very well–rounded, and it also has built–in protection and healing.It does a lot of different things.

Gear	Fine Stats	Rare Stats	Epic Stats	Legendary Stats	Legendary 3 Stats	Mythic Stats
Crossbow of the Dragoon	ATK PWR +5%	30% chance to trigger AoE explosion on hit	Blast DMG +200%	ATK PWR +10%	Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%	Doubles the chance to trigger AoE explosion on hit
Amulet of the Dragoon	ATK PWR +5%	CRIT DMG +12%	Randomly detonates 2 monsters on the field every 2s	ATK PWR +10%	Amulet’s base stats increased by 20%	Randomly detonates 4 monsters on the field every 2s
Ring of the Dragoon	ATK PWR +5%	CRIT Rate +3%	Chance to drop a landmine when killing an enemy, which explodes after a short time	ATK PWR +10%	Ring’s base stats increased by 20%	Guarantees landmine drop on enemy kill
Armor of the Dragoon	Max HP +5%	Barrage DMG REDUC +5%	Gain 1 Flame Shield that lasts for 10s; when damaged it shatters and explodes upon being hit again	Max HP +10%	Armor’s base stats increased by 20%	Slowly restore HP while Flame Shield is active
Helmet of the Dragoon	Max HP +5%	Red Heart Heal +20%	Each monster kill causes the next attack tto trigger AoE explosion	Max HP +10%	Helmet’s base stats increased by 20%	Monsters within the explosion radius are ignited
Boots of the Dragoon	Max HP +5%	Dodge +5%	Triggers an explosion on the attacking monster when dodging	Max HP +10%	Boots’s base stats increased by 20%	Dodge +10%

2. Griffin Set – Griffin Claw

The Griffin Claw and the rest of the Griffin set focus on short-range damage and can benefit skills such as Circling Orbs. Of course, you can use any other skill and just play in melee, though auto-shooting skills are still necessary if you want to dodge enemy abilities efficiently.

Gear	Fine Stats	Rare Stats	Epic Stats	Legendary Stats	Legendary 3 Stats	Mythic Stats
Griffin Claw	ATK PWR +5%	The closer, the higher DMG, up to 10%	The closer, the higher CRIT Rate, up to 9%	ATK PWR +10%	Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%	The closer, the higher CRIT Rate, up to 18%
Griffin Amulet	ATK PWR +5%	CRIT DMG +12%	Counter with 2x DMG to nearby monsters	ATK PWR +10%	Amulet’s base stats increased by 20%	Counter with 4x DMG to nearby monsters
Griffin Ring	ATK PWR +5%	CRIT Rate +3%	CRIT Rate increases with more nearby monsters, up to 9%	ATK PWR +10%	Ring’s base stats increased by 20%	CRIT Rate increases with more nearby monsters, up to 18%
Griffin Armor	Max HP +5%	Barrage DMG REDUC +5%	Deals continuous DMG on enemies within 7 meters	Max HP +10%	Armor’s base stats increased by 20%	Doubles continuous DMG on enemies within 7 meters

3. Echo Set – Beam Staff

Combo (consecutive skill hits; resets after 2s of no hits) and the passive stat boosts from the Echo set depend on skills being hit all the time.

I can think of Lasers, Sprites, and Circling Orbs as skills. For the last one, though, you’ll need to get close to the enemy.

Gear	Fine Stats	Rare Stats	Epic Stats	Legendary Stats	Legendary 3 Stats	Mythic Stats
Beam Staff	/	ATK PWR +5%	DMG increases with Combo, up to 10%	For every 5 Combo, CRIT Rate increases by 2%, up to 8%	Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%	/
Echo Amulet	/	ATK PWR +5%	CRIT DMG +12%	For every 5 Combo, the next DMG is doubled	Amulet’s base stats increased by 20%	/
Echo Ring	/	ATK PWR +5%	CRIT Rate +3%	For every 5 Combo, ATK SPD increases by 2%, up to 8%	Ring’s base stats increased by 20%	/
Echo Armor	/	Max HP +5%	Barrage DMG REDUC +5%	For every 5 Combo, the next hit gains 2 diagonal arrows	Armor’s base stats increased by 20%	/
Echo Helmet	/	Max HP +5%	Red Heart Heal +20%	Gain 2x Combo on CRIT	Helmet’s base stats increased by 20%	/
Echo Boots	/	Max HP +5%	Dodge +5%	Crit DMG increases by 32% when Combo exceeds 30	Boots’s base stats increased by 20%	/

4. Destruction Set – Heroic Longbow

Almost everything about the Destruction set is the same as the Dragoon set. The only difference is that you don’t get the passives until you fuse your gear to Legendary level.

Gear	Fine Stats	Rare Stats	Epic Stats	Legendary Stats	Legendary 3 Stats	Mythic Stats
Heroic Longbow	/	ATK PWR +5%	30% chance to trigger AoE explosion on hit	Blast DMG +200%	Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%	/

Boots of Destruction	/	Max HP +5%	Dodge +5%	Triggers an explosion on the attacking monster when dodging	Boots’s base stats increased by 20%	/

5. Decisiveness Set – Agile Knuckles

The Decisiveness set is very similar to the Griffin set, just like the Destruction set. The only difference is that you don’t get the passives until you fuse your gear to Legendary level.

Gear	Fine Stats	Rare Stats	Epic Stats	Legendary Stats	Legendary 3 Stats	Mythic Stats
Agile Knuckles	/	ATK PWR +5%	The closer, the higher DMG, up to 10%	The closer, the higher CRIT Rate, up to 9%	Weapon’s base stats increased by 20%	/

Archero 2 Character List & Power Ranking

This is how we ranked each character in Archero 2.

The extra skills you get with Seraph can also be useful, but Dracoola and Otta are generally thought to be the best characters in the game.

When you play, though, Alex, Nyanja, and Helix all give you niche boosts that you don’t feel as much.
