Quick Links
Afterimage has a plethora of Weapons and Armor Sets to find throughout its many zones, encouraging you to experiment with various Builds and playstyles to become nearly unstoppable against most enemies. There will likely be a Build for you, whether you like to play fast and in your opponent's face or more slow and methodical.
Aside from Talents, putting together your ideal Build is the most crucial aspect of Afterimage. You can focus on Critical Damage, Defense, or overall Damage Output and everything in between, making each piece of equipment you find potentially game-changing.
The Best Builds In Afterimage
As touched on above, focusing on Builds that fit your playstyle will be the best method of finding success in Afterimage's daunting world of Engardin. Whether you're gearing up for a boss encounter or an area, these Builds should have you covered.
And being able to equip two Weapon Types, a Spellbook, three pieces of Gear, and three Accessories will give you more than enough freedom to do just that. Below are tables that contain Builds for a wide range of playstyles.
Builds for Critical Damage, Magic, Defense, and Overall Damage Output is found below and showcase the Stats for everything equipped to give you an understanding of why we chose what we did and their benefits.
However, these aren't the end all be all, as we encourage you to also experiment with the Weapons, Armor, and Accessories in this game to find something that may fit your playstyle even better than what's here.
There are a near endless amount of combinations out there, so don't be afraid to remove some of the things we have to replace them with something that you feel works better or offers more flexibility to your play style and overall focus.
