Awakenings have already been changed in kCBT and were known to be placeholders, so unfortunately I cannot account for them at all as what we saw may be radically different from what actually will be.
Seriously? At the end of the day itās xml changes theyāre making so itās not like itās overly time consuming. Makes you wonder if theyāll do the same for release after OBT.
Well theyāve kept their krcbt files encrypted for a bit now so weāll see if they get released I guess hehe
My idea to make first char into an alchem seems more and more profitable

Is it possible to target your own caltrops with an aoe skill and destroy them? Or can you target your own pavise? Or can you shoot at and destroy your own sapper traps?
You can use Quarrel Shooter c2ās Teardown to accomplish most of that, but nothing you can do otherwise will remove your summons.

Do traps increase damage when you also increase your attack stat? Or are they fixed dmg?
yes they scale with attack stat, they can also crit.
ummā¦ im try to build archerā¦ what do you think if my build
Archer C2 > Hunter C2 > and Rogue C3ā¦
My question is that hard to leveling ?
and Rogue C3 Have Evasion lvl 10 = 100% evasion?
thx in advanceā¦
Dont go hunter rogue, go sapper rogue instead.
After much testing in KCBT3, Iāve somewhat finalized my build for KOBT. I call it many mixed archers (MMA) because it learns utility skills from different archer branches. And yes this is pure PVP.
I would like to hear some thoughts. I have some footage of some useful tactics I can upload.
Still unsure about Rogue 3 or Fletcher 2
Seems really solid for pvp,
Maybe in fletcher i would suggest magic arrow or bodkin point instead of crossfire.
Since the aoe and damage of crossfire felt really weak when I tested itā¦
Plus if you can pin them down I think magic arrow should do a lot of damage. (itās not aoe but hit-based, but I saw it ticked really fast)
Also in the future if there are objective based spot gvg/pvp 1 point in punji stake in sapper may prove usefull with conceal.
And maybe a good combo could also be musketer Snipe (lv5 : 4000 + 150%atk) with scout +50% dmg cloacking attributeā¦ (if youāre not that convinced by fletcher, rogue 2 > musketeer 1, but need to swap weapons though)
Good point, I updated my build. Removed some points from detonate into Punji.
Any archers know if Falconer Skills can be used while under the effects of Scoutās Cloaking?
Thanks!
So iāve been thinking about doing an archer for a while now, but as a wizard and cleric player there are many things about archers that i donāt know. I wonder if anyone could give me some guidance here.
Iām divided between taking a wugushi path and a rogue path, i really donāt care about pvp, so are both of them viable for pve only reasons?
As for the first classes, iām really struggling to choose them. Archer c3 is better than archer c2 ranger c1? Would something else be better? From what iāve seen sapper c2 is pretty strong for pve, but iām not that interested in sapper tbh.
To make things easier iāll put some build examples and would like you to say what are their main differences:
Wugushi path:
archer -> archer -> archer -> wugushi -> wugushi
archer -> archer -> ranger -> wugushi -> wugushi
archer -> ranger -> ranger -> wugushi -> wugushi
archer -> archer -> sapper -> sapper -> wugushi -> wugushi
Rogue path:
archer -> archer -> archer -> scout -> rogue
archer -> archer -> ranger -> scout -> rogue
archer -> ranger -> ranger -> scout -> rogue
archer -> archer -> sapper -> sapper -> rogue
As you can see my main doubt is how many ranger circles to get, if any at all.
Other way around, ranger c1 is better. Barrage 5 + steady aim is better than anything in archer c3. Plus it gives you the AoE youāll need.
I personally played an archer 3 wugushi and wouldnāt recommend it. You definitely want at least ranger c1, or you will be hurting for AoE damage. You basically multishot / oblique shot your way to wugushi c2, and then still have to multishot / oblique shot as your main forms of damage. Not very fun.
With ranger, get c1 or c3. Thereās no good reason to take only c2 ranger.
The tough choice is between archer c2 and ranger c1. Archer got a lot of buffs recently, making c2 quite a bit stronger. But Barrage is still an amazing skill, and basically solves archerās AoE problems for a long time.
So out of what youāve listedā¦
archer -> archer -> ranger -> wugushi -> wugushi
Picks up swift step ( crit attribute ), heavy shot, multishot 10 ( fast cast with attribute ), and doesnāt have to wait until Wugu c2 to AoE.
archer -> archer -> sapper -> sapper -> wugushi -> wugushi
You get broom trap which is really nice, but you take wugushi 1 rank late. The only problem with this is that wugushiās gu pot is really useful at this point in the game ( rank 5 ) where a lot of leather mobs that are weak to poison are what you want to be killing ( and broom trap does less damage to leather ). Since you wonāt be getting this until rank 6, itās a little painful. Also it doesnāt make clear what your stat build will be - sappers want a good amount of dex so their traps will crit, but wugushis donāt need dex at all, since poisons canāt crit.
archer -> archer -> ranger -> scout -> rogue
This build works well, but Iād consider it a bit more for PvP. Scout mainly gives you utility and a 50% damage buff to another skill ( although flare shot recently got a radius buff making it a bit better AoE ), and Rogue also gives utility, with crit+ and feint ( PvP only really ). The question is, with +50% damage and +crit, what skill are you buffing?
archer -> archer -> sapper -> sapper -> rogue
Iāve done this build, and it works pretty well. Archer c2 / ranger c1 are an optional swap though. Iād probably favor archer c2 atm, with itās recent buffs. Broom trap is amazing, and the +crit works really nice in buffing it, as well as the ability to capture your own broom trap and reuse it later, for double broom traps.
The other builds I wouldnāt consider, since they either have archer c3 or ranger c2 in them.

Your last path is the best choice. Sapperās damage comes at exactly the right time you need it and you will have a good amount of single target, dual target and aoe with sapper. Going into sapper 2 will give you broomtrap and will make you a very needed party member. Adding rogue to that means that you can have two or potentially infinite amount of traps captured ( unless they fix it ) as in previous beta capture levels did nothing. Eventual backstab on rogue makes it so you lack nothing anymore after archerās single target damage wears off and backstab with a c3 linker and karacha set if itās not changed and backstab nerfed means every 15 seconds you can have 10x overkill kills with 1 hit. Quite fast levelling.

From what Iāve seen capture now only captures circles/traps based on the lvl of the skill. Still really good.
This card is basically Full Draw
Wouldnāt that be Caracole?
