Best Survivor.io Build: Best Gear, Skills, and More

Become the ultimate survivor.

Survivor.io is a game where players must face off against near-endless hordes of creatures that come from all directions. If the player wants to be able to survive against the undead hordes, they will need to ensure that they are powered up and using the best items and builds that they can.

However, the game is not so straightforward, due to the nature of how gear is obtained and how skills are assigned to the player in combat. Therefore, while a degree of luck plays a part in what gear a player will ultimately have, this guide will serve as a baseline, players should strive for in the game.

The best gear in Survivor.io

Gear is the cornerstone of success in Survivor.io, it helps to bolster not only the attack damage, as well as HP of the survivor, but it also increases other stats and gives special abilities as well. Gear becomes more powerful as it levels up in quality, and players will want to do a lot of missions to get the most gear that they can merge to have the strongest builds.

  • Best Chest Piece: Eternal Suit
  • Best Neck Piece: Eternal Necklace
  • Best Belt: Eternal Belt
  • Best Gloves: Eternal Gloves
  • Best Boots: Eternal Boots

The reason the Eternal Set is so powerful to use on a survivor is because of the various benefits the gear offers for players as it levels in quality. Having the ability to increase damage and crit, become invincible for a brief time on taking damage, as well as creating a trail of fire can make it much easier to survive in the game.

However, for players who do not have access to this gear, simply use the best quality gear available. This will allow players to enter into higher levels and try to find better gear and items.

The best skills to use in Survivor.io

Skills are quite interesting in Surivor.io. This is because when collecting enough crystals on the ground to level up, you will get to pick from 3 different skills. This can be reset once per battle with the right talents, but for the most part this will be an RNG dependent endeavor.

However, because of this, it is important that players understand how these skills work. First, all skills can be leveled up to 5 stars. Each time a player levels the skill, it will become more powerful and gain 1 star. But, there is a hidden ability to unlock in each skill called Evo. This is unlocked by leveling the skill up to 5 stars and then earning the abilities “partner” skill. The next time a player levels up, they will be able to pick the Evo skill, which will combine and become much more powerful.

Therefore, the more Evo skills a player has, the more powerful they will be against the hordes of enemies. Generally speaking however, skills that deal a lot of damage quickly are preferred. Especially over a wide area.

This means skills such as Lightning, Durian, Soccer Ball, and Molotov cocktail can be the most destructive. In fact, if a player gets an Evo Lightning, Durian, Soccer Ball, and Molotov Cocktail, they may not even need to move, and can simply stand still and watch as the hordes fall helplessly around them.

Still, as this game rewards careful movement and planning on top of skills, players should try experimenting with the skills and see which ones work the best for them and their individual playstyle. With practice, they will be able to defeat even the most relentless of hordes.
