Network Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Content Introduction Characteristics Abilities Equipment PVP Pets Conclusion Introduction Archers are the class with the highest ranged damage, however, this quality is balanced by their low health and defense, as the main objective of this class is to be elusive, dealing the most damage in the shortest time possible and trying to avoid melee combat. Characteristics The human archer is characterized by having the most balanced stats of the 3 archer classes in terms of health, damage, and critical hits. This characteristic makes it very versatile when wanting to choose to enhance any of these characteristics to better adapt to your playstyle. As for their equipment, they can wield a two-handed bow complemented only by a sigil in one hand; they also specialize in using light armor. Advantages Has the highest amount of health among the 3 archer classes. Has the best balance of damage and critical hits among the 3 classes. Archers in general have the longest attack range. Archers in general excel in evasion and movement speed. They have both single-target and AOE abilities. Do not consume many resources, such as Spirit Ore for example. They can farm comfortably in one spot without moving from their location. Disadvantages They have low health compared to other classes. They have low defense when using light armor. The human archer is the slowest of the 3 archer classes. Skills consume a lot of MP, so it is recommended to use an Orfen +2. Abilities As for their abilities, we will highlight the active skills, buffs, and debuffs, as the passives mainly revolve around mastery of light armor, weapon mastery (limited to bow usage), critical hits, and evasion. Active Skills: Active skills are the skills that deal direct damage to the target, including: Двойной Выстрел Смертельный Выстрел Дождь Стрел Легендарный Выстрел Вихревый Выстрел Тройной Выстрел Дождь Пламенных Стрел Поджигающий Выстрел Спиральный Выстрел Buffs For buffs, it is necessary to specify that all characters will have practically the same amount and types of base buffs (the names or icons may vary between races but they are essentially the same buffs), except for dancers and songs, which have their own additional buffs exclusive to their class; having said that, we will highlight the buffs you should choose for your archer: Щит Могущество Легкая Походка Магический Барьер Фокусировка Шепот Смерти Ускорение Дух Берсерка Чистота Восстановление MP Прицельный Огонь Восстановление HP Быстрый Бег Истинная Цель Точный Прицел Славный Воин: Улучшенные Способности Абсолютное Уклонение Захват Цели Легендарный Лучник Debuffs The debuffs of the human archer will try to slow down or immobilize your enemy to avoid melee combat, and even to see invisible warriors. Удерживающий Выстрел Выстрел Шипом Сковывающий Выстрел Equipment The human archer has mastery with Light armor, which provides stats such as physical defense, evasion, increased HP, and boosts the percentage of critical hits. Starting Equipment When you reach level 61, you will be given a choice of grade A weapons and armor. For armor, you can choose from 2 sets: Majestic and Nightmare. I recommend combining and choosing as follows for our archer: Helmet: Majestic Circlet (Light) From the helmet, you can take advantage of the P. Atk. +8% when using a bow + P. Atk. +4%, so you will get good damage compared to other helmets. Gloves: Gauntlets of Nightmare (Light) From the gloves, you can take advantage of the vampiric or 2% damage absorption in HP, which will help you recover health and not die. Body: Leather Armor of Nightmare Unlike Majestic, this will give you more resistance to hold and sleep. Boots: Majestic Boots (Heavy) Being heavy boots, they will give you more defense and speed than light ones. Weapon: Shyeed´s Bow It is the third bow with the best damage and you will receive it when you reach Grade A, which is recommended to upgrade to +5 to maximize its damage. Sigil: Majestic Sigil Which you should upgrade to +5 and look for the augmentation of +2 STR. Advanced Equipment The next level of equipment can be obtained from RB drops or by buying from the World Trade. For the archer, we recommend the following: Helmet: Mana helmet It will give you +8% mana or MP recovery, which will help you maintain mana for longer. Also, if you upgrade it to +5, it will give you an additional 3% chance to recover 100 mana or MP after an attack.Chest and Pants: Light Armor of Lightning Set In addition to having higher P.Def, together they will increase your resistance to Paralysis, Shock, Sleep, Hold, Silence, and Fear by 40%. When upgraded to +5, you will have other bonuses such as: -2 MP consumption, also with a 3% chance, a defense will be activated for 30 seconds giving you an extra 350 points of physical and magical defense. Additionally, it has a 3% chance that when hit, your opponent will be paralyzed for 2 seconds. Finally, for the pants, similarly, with a 3% chance, a skill will be activated for 10 seconds that will cause your opponents to receive 3% Critical Damage and 6% Critical Rate. Gloves: Stun Gauntlets These gloves, when enchanted to +5, have a 2% chance of stunning your target for 3 seconds, leaving them stunned and unable to move, which is very convenient for the archer.Boots: Boots of Evasion These boots will give you +8 speed and when enchanted to +5, they will reduce -1% skill cooldown. Also, with a 3% chance, it will activate a skill that will give you an extra 45 points of physical and magical evasion for 30 seconds, additionally a +70% Skill Evasion for the first 5 hits received. Weapon: Core's Plasmic Bow It is the second-best bow, which is recommended to upgrade to +5 to activate with a certain chance its ability to deliver an additional blow depending on M. Atk. when attacking. Sigil: Sigil of Inevitability Similarly, you should upgrade it to +5 to activate its special abilities and look for the augmentation of +2 STR. Pro Equipment When you reach this level, there isn't much to say as you will know that you should go for the Protection Set and choose Heavy to obtain the maximum defense for your character. Weapon: Frost Lord's Bow It is the best bow in this Essence, as mentioned before you should have it at least at +5 to activate its abilities to deliver an additional blow with a certain chance, also being able to chain with ice to the target for 5 seconds preventing it from teleporting and reducing its P./M. Def. by -25%. Sigil: Sigil of Protection y Berserker's Sigil Here I will leave it to the player's preference depending on whether it's for PVE or PVP. It is worth noting that the Berserker's Sigil has the highest value and is the most difficult to obtain. Improvements Soul Crystals y Hardin´s: For the weapon, you will always look for the highest level possible stones (try to aim for level 14 and above) and you can only place 2 Soul Crystals and 1 Hardin's. The recommended abilities to choose for your bow are; Physical Skill Critical Rate, Physical Skill Critical Damage, and Physical Abilities (Hardin's). On the other hand, we also have Soul Crystals for armor, these are placed directly and do not have any ability to choose unlike those for your weapon, instead they will give you physical and magical defense according to the level of the crystal. Dyes The first 3 Dyes we should choose for our archer will be STR, for maximum damage, and when the fourth slot is available, we will go for DEX to reach the Passive called Dexterous Body which will give us P.Atack. +5% onwards. As for the level of the Dyes, level 3 is recommended to start, and for advanced players, level 11 will be fine, after that, the higher the level, the better. PVP As mentioned before, the archer is a character that attacks from very far away, has a lot of movement speed, but has low health and defense; so you should avoid melee combat, your strategy in a 1 vs 1 is to position yourself at a good distance and start with debuff attacks, that is, you will start with the skills that imprison or slow down your opponent, in that way it will give you time to keep your distance and continue with the attacks of greater damage; in case the debuffs fail and you reach melee combat you will have a chance to activate Ultimate Evasion that will last 30 seconds and will give you a certain balance to evade some blows and skills from your enemy until your debuffs recharge and allow you to connect one to keep your distance again. For PVP with your party or clan, your role will be fundamental being a character that deals a lot of damage as you must be very attentive and assist anyone who needs it always keeping your distance and from a position if possible invisible (either hidden or behind an object). Your main targets will be characters that you know you can quickly kill, such as mages, dagger users, and other archers; on the contrary, you should avoid combat with tank characters or those with a lot of health and resistance to bows. Pets The most recommended pet for the archer is the Hawk since it has skills for both PVP and PVE. For PVP, this pet will help you with your goal of keeping your distance from your opponent since it has 2 skills; the Scout's Strike which has a chance to stun and the Quick Jump which with a certain chance can push or push back your opponent; these 2 skills combined with those of your archer will increase your chances of coming out victorious. For PVE, it also has an AOE skill called Feather Storm, which will help you farm multiple targets at once. Conclusion The archer is a character that requires a lot of skill, strategy, and quick reaction, if you have all of these, you can be the best and on your own merit. Good luck, and may L2 bless you.
