Skill Effect
Endless Munitions ・Skills fire an additional Projectile
Wind Ward ・3% less Damage taken per Tailwind

Listed above are the best Ascendancy skills for the Deadeye, often included in most endgame builds. While a simple addition, the extra projectile that Endless Munitions provides to Skills adds many ways to increase the DPS of any projectile-focused build. Projectiles range from a variety of skills, such as Explosives and Spells!

Additionally, Windward is an essential slot-in for Deadeye as it increases their survivability and mobility by a significant amount as it reduces the 3% percentage of damage with each Tailwind stack. When paired with the additional Movement Speed and Evasive properties of Tailwind, you will often elude most attacks sent your way.

Deadeye Mechanics

Increased Mobility and Damage Output

The Deadeye ascendancy class focuses on increasing the Ranger's mobility and damage output. It provides significant buffs to the bow's capabilities through passive skills like Endless Munitions and Eagle Eye, which increase bow projectile shots and remove accuracy limitations.

Improved Run-and-Gun Playstyle

Overall, the Deadeye ascendancy further improves the run-and-gun playstyle, which the base Ranger already excels at. With quality-of-life movement improvements provided by skills such as Gathering Winds and the skills mentioned above, the player can avoid enemies with ease while dishing out twice the damage.
