| Gear Tier | Set Name | Key Meta Usage |
|---|---|---|
| S+ Tier | Gogmazios β | The new flexible king. Massive slots + Mutual Hostility. |
| S Tier | Jin Dahaad γ | Arch-Tempered offensive powerhouse. Bound Resistance tech. |
| A+ Tier | Arkveld γ | Lord Soul group buffs for multiplayer dominance. |
👑 The New King: Gogmazios β Analysis
The Gogmazios β set is widely considered the most significant addition since the game's launch. Unlike the Alpha set, which was heavily locked into specific skills, the Beta set offers unparalleled decoration flexibility.
