General Gameplay Game Tips and Strategies
#14

I think Quarrel and Ranger need some work, honestly. I don’t think I can recommend either one over Archer 2 right now regardless of situation. Archer 2 definitely looks and feels like a good foundation to work off of, though, as Multishot will cover all your bossing needs and Oblique with an autoattack or two to conserve SP will serve you well for non-boss. From there it’s whatever, probably Archer 3 if you’re not going to go Sapper, although I’ve found Hunter to be pretty fun.

Not very good, mind you, but fun.

Anyways, the point is just to go Archer 2 minimum, since it seems the other two options are pretty underwhelming.

#15

Yes, Multi Shot is just too good to not max it out. No other class has anything that is better. Balance needs to be made, as of now everything starts with Archer C3.

#16

OK guys, updated the guide, now all 3 builds are present, have fun =)

#17

Ok wanted to ask something. Currently restarting my whole gameplay because peltasta for me was really lackluster and i am doing the dex build rn. is going for a crossbow+shield better than the 2h bow for maximum damage? or cb+shield for survivability?

#18

You will be relying on Evade for survival, and you will need the damage the bow gives you, since you have no STR.

#19

thanks for that fast reply. and was wondering if i should hunt for recipe sets? since npc equips tend to fall down past level 30’s from damage and survivabilities or

#20

First set you obtain is quite easy, after the mine you will just have to kill the world boss over and over, it gives a good first advantage. Truthfully you should level in a party, that way you won’t have to focus on anything other than the bow, until your Autos start shinning.

When leveling, you will be reliant on Oblique Shot, until you have Kneeling at Level 10, but even then it won’t be great until after level 75.

#21

hmm ok. guess i should let my friend help me grind a while if it ever gets hard. thanks for all the info

#22

I’m currently a Lvl 70 archer C3 (Zemyna). I’m going primarily DEX with a Poison Rider Build. There are some questions I’d like to ask:

Did you actually test all three of these builds during CB1?

What are some grinding spots I could take advantage of as an archer?

Are there any tips to finding parties to join around my level?

#23

No mention to Full Draw(even lvl 1 is enough)+Oblique Shot Combo?

Try it,it’s amazing

#24

I guess this is as good a place as any to ask a few questions to those playing Sapper.

Do all traps scale with STR? Is it significant or would it be worth more spending more points in SPR/DEX for those single hit traps like Claymore?

Does AoE Attack Range from weapons apply to traps (e.g. Claymore)?

Generally do you end up in a deficit if you try to level up with traps or are they cheap enough that you can easily make up the money?

#25

Even if I disagree to some of your build choices, I think it’s nice to see some other angles for archers.
Good job with this guide! :wink:

#26

My Ranger3 build works just fine in both multi-target and single-target (with a 3:1 - 4:1 dex:str ratio). I challenge Barbarian damage, so I hardly consider these the only 3 viable builds.

I’ve been solo’ing all quest content easily and quickly and only died once (which was my fault because I trapped myself in a corner with a boss that does huge AOE spells and adds).

#27

way too wonky depending on serverlag/ ping. when i tried to use it the actual location from the monsters differed from the one shown, so i couldn’t hit them at all.

#28

Another Feedback here

IF you class has any “tick” ground type skill max out Kneeling Shot.

ANything you’ve launched before crouching starts getting kneeling shot bonus.

I’m C1 Scout and my FLare Shot does some really solid damage when Kneeling.If it works for Sapper it will be VERY strong

#30

It works with any skill that is used before the spell is casted. It gives the same extra damage Kneeling Shot gives. Kinda fun, although pointless after 120+.

#31

just want to confirm…
so DEX increases damage of archers? There is nothing written in the stat guides, only for STR and INT.

Does this mean Dex- Con is a viable build?

#32

No it doesn’t.

But damage stats are near worthless anyway. There’s not many builds that will benefit more from strength or intelligence than spirit or constitution.

#33

Dex helps with the Kneelig Shot Dmg bonus i think

#34

Anyone lv 1xx+ goes full dex from archer c3 here? need feedback about Kneeling Shot at late level.
