The highest achievable overall Javelin Power Level in Anthem is 960. This ultimate power is attained by equipping Legendary items, which have the highest individual power levels.
Understanding Power in Anthem
Power in Anthem represents a Javelin's overall strength, influencing its damage output, survivability, and effectiveness in various content. It's determined by the combined power levels of all equipped gear components, including weapons, components, and ability gear. As players progress, they seek higher power items to tackle more challenging difficulties and encounters.
Item Rarity and Power Progression
Item rarity directly correlates with its inherent power level. As you progress through Anthem, you'll find items of increasing rarity, each offering a higher power ceiling. The journey to max power involves upgrading your gear from common items to the rarest and most potent ones.
Here's a breakdown of power levels for initial item rarities:
| Item Rarity | Minimum Power | Maximum Power |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 1 | 30 |
| Uncommon | 4 | 34 |
| Rare | 6 | 36 |
| Epic | 8 | 38 |
Beyond these initial rarities, the path to the highest power levels involves acquiring Masterwork and Legendary items, which are crucial for endgame progression:
- Masterwork Items: These items typically drop at a Power Level of 61. Masterwork items are significant because they introduce unique perks that provide powerful effects and often synergize with Javelin abilities, significantly enhancing gameplay.
- Legendary Items: Representing the pinnacle of gear in Anthem, Legendary items have a base Power Level of 75. With optimal inscriptions (additional bonuses found on items), their effective power can reach 80. Acquiring Legendary gear is essential for pushing into Grandmaster difficulties.
Achieving Maximum Javelin Power
To reach the maximum Javelin Power Level of 960, players must meticulously collect and equip high-power Legendary items across all gear slots. This requires dedication to end-game activities and challenges that offer opportunities to acquire these powerful items. Optimizing inscriptions on Legendary gear is crucial for pushing individual item power to 80, which in turn significantly elevates the overall Javelin Power Level. This involves farming specific activities, completing Strongholds, and engaging in world events on higher difficulties to maximize drops of the best possible gear.
