Archer Skills Build

Recommended Archer Loadout
Barrage Shot	Dire Arrow
Exploding Shot	Torrent Shot

Here is our recommended loadout for archers during your playthrough. Players must continuously hit enemies with Barrage Shots while moving and keeping distance from enemies. If you find an opening, use Torrent Shots to let loose multiple arrows in quick succession. If you have enough explosive arrows in your inventory, we suggest using Exploding Arrows to wipe out small enemies quickly!

Don't forget to upgrade the skill to their improved versions as you unlock them!

Archer Augment Build

Augment	Vocation / Description
Sustainment	Magick Archer Required Rank: 2 Augments the physical Defense and Magick Defense of pawns in your party.
Subtlety	Thief Required Rank: 2 Decreases the likelihood of being targeted by foes.
Endurance	Archer Required Rank: 4 Increases your maximum Stamina.
Lethality	Archer Required Rank: 8 Increases damage dealt when striking a target's vitals.
Exaltation	Mage Required Rank: 9 Augments your Stamina recovery speed.
Verve	Thief Required Rank: 9 Augments your Strength.

Archers will eat up a lot of their stamina considering you need to use their special attacks to deal damage. Furthermore, you cannot move around without stamina and repositioning is key for the Archer's survivability. The augments above make sure that stamina management is your top priority and that you are not targeted by enemies.

Accessories
•　 Ring of Quickening (Left Hand) •　 Ring of Quickening (Right Hand) •　 Admiral's Mantle (Cloak)

The best endgame equipment for the Archer is bought at the Armory in the Volcanic Island Camp. The build would be able to help you kill Dragons to farm Wyrmslife Crystals and purchase all the strongest post-game equipment from Bay Wayside Shrine.

The weapon to aim for is the Revenant Wail then purchase the Galewind Helm, Valkyrian Scalecloth, and Arena Breeches armor pieces to amp up your defenses.

Considering Archers need stamina management, we suggest purchasing two (2) Rings of Quickening and equip it on both hands. This helps in managing the Archer's stamina and allow them to spam skills more comfortably!

Archer Pawn Party Composition

Arisen	Main Pawn	Hired Pawn	Hired Pawn
Archer	Mage	Fighter	Warrior

The best party composition for a Archer has their main pawn as a Mage, and hiring Fighter and Warrior pawns.

Fighters and Warriors would mostly take over the front line duties, making sure they deal damage and take all enemies' attention away as you shoot everything on the sidelines. The Mage will then keep the party healed up and imbue them with beneficial effects when they can!

How to Play the Archer

• Always stay behind Pawns
• Shoot enemy weak spots from a distance
• Use debilitating arrows for massive damage

Always Stay Behind Pawns

Archers work better when played from long range. All Archer players should keep in mind to stay behind their pawns and shoot from a distance. Your arrows cannot do anything if shot from point blank!

Shoot Enemy Weakspots from a Distance

When playing as an Archer, you have the freedom to aim for the weak spots of enemies. On this note, always make it a point to consistently aim for them to deal extra damage.

This works well with the Exploding Shot skill as the explosion is usually concentrated as a single spot, dealing insane damage when it explodes on weak spots.

Use Debilitating Arrows for Crowd Control

Archers can use various arrow coatings that make it possible for them to deal explosive damage and proc debilitating statuses on enemies. We suggest using explosive arrows and drenching arrows!
