Whenever your chosen Tem levels up, you’re able to choose from an assortment of techniques and gear to improve their capabilities.

Temtem: Swarmhas a great assortment of available gear at the time of writing, but not all gear was created equal, so this guide will break down some of the most universally helpful items you’re able to acquire during a run. Naturally, when considering what gear to add to a build, it’s important to take your playstyle and the Tem you’re using into consideration, as some equipment will prove much more valuable in certain builds and with certain playstyles.

This section will discuss the best gear to pick in most circumstances, regardless of your chosen Tem and general playstyle. These are near-universally applicable when trying to strengthen your build, making them solid picks in most situations:
While these pieces of gear are useful in almost any situation, it’s important to note that many Tem techniques can be upgraded if you pick up the appropriate piece of gear. For example, the Tornado technique can be upgraded into Tornado+ if you have the Protein Bar in one of your gear slots, allowing you to fire multiple tornadoes in a cone and sweep through groups of enemies easily.
Because of this mechanic, it’s often worth prioritising gear that is used in these Synergies early on, allowing you to access these powerful techniques more quickly.
