I have been having a lot of problems with Tier 2 right now. I constantly get killed because of Fire and general swarming.
My current set up is:
Helm - Colbalt Helm
Armor - Colbalt Armor
Weapon 1 - Calibur
Weapon 2 - Blast Bomb
Shield - Defender (Possibly Owlite soon?)
Any advice on what I should upgrade/build next? I am tired of getting killed so often and having to rely on my teammates.
Tier 2 requires 2* equipment because it is the bare minimum that one can use there and hope to survive, barring ninja-like reflexes. Try just leveling up to 3* should see a huge improvement in survivability. Practice using your shield and going slow until you get a feel for the creatures lurking in the clockworks.
