Need advice from pvp players. How is archer on TBL atm?

Class and Rank Archer
#1

i wanted to make a char for pvp… my intial tought would be that archers should be good with their stealth and all… but with the amount of high hp/block/def swords?clerics… how archers fare in tbl?

how do you get past such block rates and deffenses?

is it worth to go down on this path?

Archers are ■■■■ in TBL

PVP archers are for hardcores or whales right now.

If you intend to be either of the two, then feel free to do so. The only archers I’ve seen in high ranks are those with super-endgame equipment (orange 315, solmiki) with nearly maxed or already maxed transcendence.

If I’m to rank the trees based on ROI (by investment I mean the time you took to grind for gear or the money you spent to buy them):

  1. Cleric / Wiz - depends on the build. KinoSorcNecros are annoyingly OP right now because of the summon buff as well as the MF stuck bug. Cleric master race as always.

  2. Swordsmen - not all builds. Murmillos dominate, followed by a few Lancers, rare Doppels here and there, and then other builds. There’s this one Catagoon in SEA with very endgame gear that’s doing fine but not really good ROI.

  3. Archer - Well-geared Clerics and Murmillos can kill you in seconds or even OHKO. Well-geared Wizards can tank your burst skills. The only way for Archers to work decently in TBL right now is to have really, really good endgame gear. The builds I see are SRs, Cannons, Falcons, Hackapells, and at rare times a Musket.

SR is probably the cheapest among those builds to take (though still expensive compared to other trees to work on its own) but that relies on you getting lucky with matchmaking (e.g. you have a good Cleric and/or wiz in the team). Falcons used to be good in 5v5 but they aren’t doing as much impact support-wise in 3v3.

i see… well, not worth the investment then i guess… i will stick to my cleric for the main time.

thanks for the reply

Long story short, SRs are op if you have the silver to invest. Do keep in mind, you will need a trans 10 aspana, solmiki and all the biz gear to do well in pvp, unless of course you are a mage or a cleric.

You can actually play as an Archer but with a melee build (QS Scout Rogue), you don’t need to spend too much silvers, or only if your goal is to reach rank 1, it’s more or less the same for everyone.
