Archero 2 build: choose your set, skills and runes

Archero 2 build

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.

What are the different builds in Archero 2?

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.

Build Archero 2 combo with the Oracle set

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.

If all this seems a little obscure, you can always consult our beginner's guide to Archero 2.

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.

Build Archero 2 Blast with the Dragon Knight set

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.

Build Archero 2 Close range with Griffin set

We'd advise you to go for the Griffin gear set for this Archero 2 build.

Overview of each Archero 2 build: set, skills and relics

Here's a summary of each build in Archero 2, including the gear sets, skills and runes you should target.

Build type Set Skills Runes
Combo Archero 2 combo build weapon Builds Archero 2: skill 1 of the build comboBuilds Archero 2: skill 2 of the build comboBuilds Archero 2: skill 3 of the build combo
Blast Archero 2 blast build weapon Builds Archero 2: skill 1 of the build comboBuilds Archero 2: skill 2 of the blast buildBuilds Archero 2: skill 3 of the blast build

 

Close range Builds Archero 2: skill 1 of the build combo

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,
  • Skills , which are randomly assigned to you,
  • Runes.

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 .

You now have all the keys you need to build a successful Archero 2 build. Choose your build carefully, based on the stuff you already have and your gameplay preferences. And if you need any other guides to help you progress in the game, don't hesitate to check out our other Archero 2 tips and tricks!
