The community video labels this category as one of the most surprising performers in the entire abyss roster: dodge gears hit far harder than most players expect on their first run, and Ancient Wrath sits at the top of A tier alongside Judgment of the Soul inside that group.3131The fireballs home in on the enemy that triggered the dodge, which makes the gear forgiving in messy fights where targets are moving constantly. Dodge gears require a deliberate evasion as the proc, but Crimson Desert's combat already encourages frequent dodging against most boss-tier patterns, so the proc condition tends to come up naturally without forcing the player to play around it.3333Ancient Wrath Proc Condition3535Ancient Wrath triggers off a successful Dodge, not a parry and not a finisher. The dodge does not need to be perfectly timed in the way a Parrying proc would, which is the main reason dodge gears score better on usability than parry gears. Roll out of an enemy's swing in a normal direction and the fireballs spawn on the way out, then track toward the target you dodged away from.3737Damage Profile3939Damage per fireball is solid, and because three fireballs can land on the same target inside one proc, the cumulative hit is one of the harder-hitting payoffs in any non-S tier slot. The tracking is what pushes the rating from good to great. Fireballs that miss are a rare event, and that consistency is rare among ranged-style gears in the abyss roster.4141Community Tier List Rating: Ancient Wrath4343A community ranking video titled All Abyss Gears Tier List (Best to Worst Ranked) scores every Abyss Gear out of 30 across three categories: damage, usability, and utility. Each category is worth 10 points, and the totals are bucketed so that 25 to 30 is S tier, 20 to 24 is A tier, 15 to 19 is B tier, 10 to 14 is C tier, 5 to 9 is D tier, and anything below that lands in F tier. Treat the numbers below as one experienced player's testing rather than a hard rulebook, but the overall ranking lines up with what most Best Abyss Gears Guide tier lists are converging on.4545Overall Score: 24/30Damage: 8/10Usability: 9/10Utility: 7/10Community Tier: A Tier4747A tier covers gears that perform well in almost every build. They are not quite the standout picks of the whole list, but they pull their weight and rarely feel like dead slots.4949Reliable damage with strong tracking. The community rating puts Ancient Wrath at the top of A tier inside the dodge-gear group, only beaten by Spirit's Judgment in the same slot category.5151Proc Reminder: Triggers off any successful dodge, no perfect timing required. Tracking fireballs follow the target after spawn.5353If you prefer a hard-hitting alignment payoff over tracking fireballs, Judgment of the Soul sits at the same A tier rating but trades reliability for raw burst. Spirit's Judgment is the S tier upgrade if you can land the larger AoE consistently.5555Typical Use5757Ancient Wrath is the safe default dodge gear. It works in solo boss fights, group encounters, and farming runs without any setup. Pair it with armor that already encourages active dodging and the gear will fire several times per fight without any conscious effort. Builds that prefer big single-hit payoffs may swap to Judgment of the Soul, but for general use Ancient Wrath rarely disappoints.
