Archero 2 is easy to pick up, but hard to master. You may feel like you're just rolling over the bosses and enemies in the early game, but the further you get into the game, the tougher the challenges become. Here's where we suggest you optimise your progress with the right Archero 2 build. Let's take a look at how to maximise your chances of survival in mid and late game.
For the time being, there are three types of build in Archero 2, i.e. three types of damage: combo, blast and close range.
The Archero 2 combo build / Oracle set
This Archero 2 Oracle build is based on your combo counter, i.e.the amount of damage you inflict without taking damage or being interrupted. The more combos you perform, the more you improve your overall stats.
The combo is the best Archero 2 build for beginners or F2P players. In particular, it lets you shoot faster, and therefore more effectively. What's more, it's fairly easy to learn. For this specific build, we recommend using the Oracle gear set.
The Archero 2 blast-oriented build / Dragon Knight set
As the name suggests, this build lets you create blasts in the arena and generate AoEs, which are very useful for hitting several enemies at once. With this Archero 2 build, in addition to basic damage, you can also inflict blast damage.
Like the Combo build, this build is easy to play and is also recommended for beginners. For this Archero 2 build, the Dragon set is the most suitable. And to optimize your build, don't forget to collect as many rewards as you can with Archero 2 codes!
The Archero 2 close range build / Griffin set
With this Archero 2 build, generate a circle around you that will create damage around your character. This is the most effective build in the game, but it's difficult to master because you have to avoid coming into contact with enemies while staying close to them to inflict damage.
We'd advise you to go for the Griffin gear set for this Archero 2 build.

When it comes to your character, Otta will always be the best choice. But you'll need to play for a few hours before you can unlock him. You can also opt for Dracoola, which is an easier character to unlock.
How does the Archero 2 build system work?
Archero 2 is very different from the first game. Whereas previously you simply had to collect the best gear, in the second instalment you have to opt for specific builds.
In Achero 2, builds are based on three different elements:
Your gear sets, which inflict specific types of damage,
The weapons and gear sets in each Archero 2 build have a specific type of damage, around which you'll build your build, choosing consistent skills and runes .
