Ranking Bomb’s Sets

I have all of Bomb’s sets, and, from best to worst, I rank them like this:

1. Scissors — Hocus Pocus & Might & AOE is good stuff all the time makes this clearly the best set for Bomb, if you can just get both pieces and trigger the AOE consistently…

(very tiny step down)

2. Bomb / Gladiator — Chain Attack & Might & an automatic passive vs banner are good, but the damage bump is smaller than expected. While still very playable for Arena, not fully competitive with Scissors. No real benefit for Caves and Events, though.

(big step down)

4. Navigator / Finisher — Hocus Pocus & Might & extra damage gives good potential, but the Set bonus is so rare to have a chance, it’s not even as good as having Critical.

(bigger step down)

7. Candy — Chain & Vigor & totally random chance of heals makes this a mess, because odds are you won’t heal when you need it.

(HUGE step down)

10. Golden — Crit & Vigor & a chance to acquire useless pennies makes this clearly the worst set available. Nobody really needs Snouts, particular when the reward is so miserly. The Shard scrap value is arguably better than the item value.

About the only good thing about Bomb’s sets are that the steps are pretty big, so it’s not much confusion over what to take. Hunt Scissors, make do with Bomb / Finisher when you have absolutely nothing better.

rev. 4/18 based on more play with Gladiator
