Fisch Second Sea Rod Tier List

The Second Sea brought a slew of new content for Fisch, but the jury is still out on whether it was the right choice. Arguably, the Second Sea currently feels more like starting Fisch as a level 1 player (but a different location), than an update. Since the Second Sea seems like it wants to replace the First Sea, we figured it was only fair we make a new Rod Tier List for it. Here is the Fisch Second Sea Rod Tier List. Fisch 2nd Sea Rod Tier List Screenshot by Destructoid In case you don't already know, all First Sea rods are nerfed in the Second Sea. Almost all of them have a Lure Speed of 0%, and all of them have their Stats reduced by 50%. Now, are you ready for the weirdest part? First Sea rods are still the best rods you can use in the Second Sea, despite the nerf. It should also be noted that enchantments and passive abilities (like mutations) aren't affected by the nerf. So expect to see a lot of First Sea Rods in this Tier list. With that said, definitely check back frequently because as better Second Sea Rods get added, they will undoubtedly replace many of the rods here. Without further ado, here it is: Note: Our Fisch Rod Tier List - Best Rods to Use is still relevant for the First Sea, so if you're still working your way to the Second Sea, check it out. Best XP Farming Rods in the Second Sea Image via Tier Maker / Remix by Destructoid All the Rods below are expected to have the Clever enchant for a x2.25 XP boost. Tier Rod Name Info S Seraphic Rod Still the best rod for XP farming. The passive ability automatically fills about half your progress and the high stats make catching fish super fast. S Challenger's Rod The passive gives you a +20% progress speed (same as the Steady enchant), and gives you really good status. Because it already has the extra progress speed, this is a great rod grinding XP. A Tempest Rod The passive gives you a +15% progress speed , and gives you really good status. Cheaper than the Challenger's Rod, and the progress speed increase is still very good. A No-Life Rod Great stats, has a small stab passive when reeling fish (similar to the Tempest Rod). B Rod Of The Forgotten Fang Has really good stats, and causes every third perfect catch (doesn't need to be in a row) to spawn a Megalodon version of the next fish caught (which yields more money and more XP) Best Money Farming Rods in the Second Sea Image via Tier Maker / Remix by Destructoid Unlike XP Rods, Money Farming rods all need a different enchant and bait to make money farming as efficient as possible. Tier Rod Name Info Best Enchant and Bait S Ethereal Prism Rod Even with a status nerf, the Ethereal Prism Rod's passive makes money-making easy. The passive gives you a 50% chance to catch Primsize fish, which are sold for 8x their value. Blessed Song (or Steady) and Insect S Zeus Rod This rod can spawn an Electric puddle. Almost all the fish caught in this puddle will have the Electric Shock mutation, which increases their sell value by x 3.5. The stats aren't amazing but this passive is. Blessed Song (or Steady) and Seaweed A Seraphic Rod Even though it doesn't have a great money making mutation, you can still catch fish really fast with this rod, and since time is money, you'll simply make more money in less time. Quantum and Insect A Auric Rod The stats aren't great but all fish caught with this rod have a chance to get a mutation which increases their value from x2 to x6. Hasty and Seaweed B Rod Of The Forgotten Fang The passive, which triggers after 3 perfect catches (not consecutive), is what makes this rod really good for money making. Quantum and Seaweed That's all there is to it. Again, as more updates keep rolling out, many of these will get replaced by actual Second Sea Rods. Until then, have fun catching fish and check out our Fisch codes for some cool freebies. The post Fisch Second Sea Rod Tier List appeared first on Destructoid.
