Archero 2 best weapon: PvE, PvP and tier list

In a previous guide, we presented the Archero 2 gear tier list. Now we'd like to tell you more about the weapons: which ones are best for PvE? In PvP or on special levels? We'll help you identify the Archero 2 best weapon for different gameplay phases.

The Archero 2 best weapon for PvE

For PvE, i.e. for standard stages with around fifty levels to get through, we recommend weapons that can help you fight from a distance. Quite simply, because in classic PvE in Archero 2, you'll be facing projectiles more often than not.

The best Archero 2 weapon for this type of gameplay is the Oracle Spear, although the Crossbow of the Dragoon will do just as well. In fact, we've put together a complete guide to the Oracle Archero 2 build!

For the early game, the Longbow and Beam Staff are good alternatives. What's more, we've got a beginner's guide to Archero 2 to help you get off to a good start.

The best weapon for PvP in Archero 2

Unlike PvE, PvP is more about hand-to-hand combat. In this case, the Archero 2 best weapon for this situation is not a ranged weapon, but a close-range weapon like the Griffin Claw.

Again, if you're in the early game, you can opt for Agile Knuckles.

The Archero 2 best weapon for special levels

As in PvE, special levels, particularly those that rely on survival, are often geared towards close-range combat with few projectiles. The Archero 2 best weapon here is the Griffin Claw (or Agile Knuckles in early game).
