Our take on Retiarius Tide
“Cast the net, hold the tide”
+8% Blessing effect time keeps lasting Blessing effects up longer, and -6% dash cooldown helps you reposition. It sits between Lapis Guard (Blessing) and Secutor’s Pursuit (dash) and does neither as well, but it is a reasonable Rare set for an Archer who also uses a Blessing.
What does the Retiarius Tide set bonus do?
+8% Blessing effect time
Lasting Blessing effects stay up longer. It also lengthens the 2.8 s damage window from the Numen capstone Will Of The Gods.
-6% Dash cooldown
Dash more often than the base 4 s cooldown. Archers rely on dashes to keep their distance.
+11 Vitality and +55 Max HP
On our level-1 Gladiator with 124 Max HP, the set’s +55 Max HP alone would be a 44% increase. Every set adds flat health that scales with rarity. Rare sets give +11 Vitality / +55 Max HP, against +7 / +35 for Uncommon and +19 / +95 for Epic.
How do you get the Retiarius Tide pieces?
| Slot | Piece | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Tide Crest Helm | From chests |
| Chest | Galerus Harness | From chests |
| Hands | Retiarius Manicae | From chests |
| Legs | Retiarius Greaves | From chests |
Rare gear can also come from chests. These are the chests that can roll Rare items:
| Chest | Rare chance | Armor / weapon split | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Chest | 25% | Armor 75% · Weapon 25% | 400 Cash |
| Rare Chest | 75% | Armor 67% · Weapon 33% | 1,200 Cash |
A chest that rolls Rare still picks one item from every Rare armor and weapon, so a specific piece of Retiarius Tide is much rarer than the Rare chance.
Who should use Retiarius Tide?
- Blessing builds (Numen path): +8% Blessing effect time.
- Archer (bow): -6% Dash cooldown.
- Lancer (spear): -6% Dash cooldown.
How to build around Retiarius Tide
Blessing builds (Numen path). Blessing builds start at the Crystal of Fortuna: two slots are free, and Lucky spins give a 12% Legendary chance. From level 15, the Numen path adds Blessing damage (Inner Fire, +3% per rank) and its capstone Will Of The Gods turns every Blessing hit into cooldown.
Archer (bow). Archers live on distance: keep both dashes ready, hold attack to keep shooting, and let every third shot’s volley hit groups. Community Archer runs past wave 50 stacked crit chance and attack speed from boons on top of their set.
Lancer (spear). The Lancer’s two thrusts and 360° sweep reward staying at the edge of a crowd. Use the dash thrust (dash + attack) to close gaps, and put early points into Gladius → Sharpened Edge for +2% damage per rank on every hit.
Fit: our reading of the bonus Based on the class cards and skill tree we saw in game, not on damage tests.
