Tier placement is based on large scale. The tiers can essentially be read as:
 +
* <span style="color:#f9a916;">'''Meta'''</span> = Used in ~100% of groups
 +
* <span style="color:#339966;">'''Great'''</span> = Widely used
 +
* <span style="color:#3366ff;">'''Good'''</span> = Moderate usage
 +
* <span style="color:#33d9ff;">'''Basic'''</span> = Low usage and/or extremely niche
 +
* <span style="color:#bdbdbd;">'''Test'''</span> = New builds and builds that received significant balance changes
 +
* <span style="color:#bdbdbd;">'''Draft'''</span> = Builds that are not complete (usually lacking a usage section)
 +
 
 +
Difficulty score is based on mechanical difficulty to master. There are very few builds in WvW that are difficult to get to baseline effectiveness (i.e. giving stability as a Firebrand is enough for baseline effectiveness, but far from mastering the class).

WvW Zerg builds for Guild Wars 2. A wide variety of meta, great and good GW2 builds and guides for all classes.

Tier placement is based on large scale. The tiers can essentially be read as:

  • Meta = Used in ~100% of groups
  • Great = Widely used
  • Good = Moderate usage
  • Basic = Low usage and/or extremely niche
  • Test = New builds and builds that received significant balance changes
  • Draft = Builds that are not complete (usually lacking a usage section)

Difficulty score is based on mechanical difficulty to master. There are very few builds in WvW that are difficult to get to baseline effectiveness (i.e. giving stability as a Firebrand is enough for baseline effectiveness, but far from mastering the class).

Section builds are up to date for the August 19, 2025 game patch.
