The unique weapon combination allows the player to deal damage from any distance. The build allows for flexibility in engagements, as certain encounters can require the player to reposition.

Should the situation call for it, the build can also be adjusted for utlity thanks to Stalwart Bastion, and cleanse via Purifying Touch.

The skill choices provided prioritize dealing damage from a distance by starting fights with longbow skills before finishing them with the sword. In this build, Strategic Rush is used to fill the gap once the longbow skills are on cooldown, easing the transition to sword skills.

We take Stalwart Bastion and Nature's Blessing for healing and damage mitigation to increase survivability when going into melee.

Passives are tuned to maximize the Longbow's abilities while providing survivability.

Level up longbow skills first, such as Zephyr's Nock, Strafing, and Decisive Arrow, as they provide the bulk of this build's damage.

Weapon Effect
Weapon Skill - Queen BellandirQueen Bellandir's Quicksand Creates 5m radius of Quicksand on the spot where Annihilating Slash was used. Quicksand decreases enemy Movement Speed by 60% and has a 70% chance to apply Collision: Pull to enemies within the radius when it disappears after 2s. Cooldown 34s.

Note: All of the traits shown here are of max value!

Queen Bellandir's Languishing Blade provides excellent crowd control thanks to its weapon effect, making it easier to create distance once the sword skills are exhausted.

Secondary Weapon
TeventTevent's Arc of Wailing Death ・Heavy Attack Chance +80
・Hit +80
・Critical Hit +80
Weapon Effect
Weapon Skill - TeventTevent's Bombardment Shoots a bonus projectile whenever using Strafing, dealing 54% of Base Damage

Note: All of the traits shown here are of max value!

Although Karnix's Netherbow offers potentially higher DPS, Tevent's Arc of Wailing Death is used instead for consistency. Since Strafing is a core part of the damage rotation, it fits in well with this build.

To improve DPS, two pieces of the Death Set are taken to increase critical damage. Both weapons benefit from this set bonus, making it the best option for this build..

This set also has the Imperator Set bonus to provide Melee Heavy Attack Chance, making your Sword skills hit even harder.

The rest of the armour and accessories are used to increase Strength and Dexterity, increasing damage dealt while providing some survivability, which is useful when damage cannot be avoided in melee combat.

The advent of runes made it possible to achieve multiple stat breakpoints in builds that were unattainable prior to their release.

Get Critical Hit Chance and Heavy Attach Chance to increase your damage output, as well as Max Health to increase survivability. Collision Chance is also a must as it will help Queen Bellandir's Languishing Blade's Weapon Effect hit more consistently.

For Rune Synergy, get both Strength and Dexterity to hit the 60 Strength and 70 Dexterity breakpoints. Partner these with Max Health, Cooldown Speed, and Attack Speed for survivability and damage.

Longbow ・Sniping (9 Pts)

As this build is primarily focused on damage, prioritise points in the Boss tree to get Subjugator's Punishment to improve damage against bosses. The rest of the points go to Provoke & Counter for survivability.

For the longbow, the goal is to get to Brutal Shooter as quickly as possible to increase Critical Damage. The rest of the points will go to the Check tree to get to Gale Arrowhead to reduce all cooldowns, as well as Support for some survivability.

Shade Revenant SthenoShade Revenant Stheno Launches 5 projectiles at random enemies within a 10m range every second. A single enemy may be hit with multiple projectiles at the same time. Each projectile deals 52% of Base Damage.

Shade Revenant Stheno is the best option as it offers the highest DPS potential and can be fully utilized as this build can engage in melee. For best results, it should ideally be used against single targets, as it ensures that all projectiles hit that target.

How to Play Longbow / Sword and Shield Build


Note: If the skills icons are confusing, some of the skill icons indicated here are using their specialized variants.

Ranged Rotation

Deadly Marker Ensnaring Arrow Decisive Bombardment Limit Break Decisive Bombardment
Brutal Arrow Strafing Strafing Zephyr Strafing

Ideally, it is best to start fights with Longbow skills first, as they do the most damage in this kit. Thanks to Blitz, Decisive Sniping can be used twice, and it can deal more damage thanks to the Limit Break specialization.

Melee Rotation

Strategic Rush Annihilation Blade Annihilating Slash Annihilating Slash

Once the Longbow skills are on cooldown, start the Melee Rotation with Strategic Rush to immediately close the gap, followed by the rest of the Sword Skills.

Utility Skills

Great Fury Nature

Stalwart Bastion is best used for damage mitigation, but can also be used for a bit of a damage boost thanks to the Great Fury specialization. Use Nature's Blessing as needed to provide some healing for the party.
