Str: 4

Dex: 6

End: 4

Int: 1

Spr:  3

 

HP:  46

~Builds~

 

Pure Dex:

Utilizes the naturally high evasion and aim of the class. The lack of str/spr however can lower damage output. Invest in a enhanced weapon and or outfits/accesories 

 

Pure Str:

A build that emphasises the Archers natural high damage. Ideal for both bow and crossbow uses. Investing in enhanced armor covers defence and ensuring end/dex/spr stats will cover the stats not built upon.

 

25spr/ (33) Dex, Rest Str

A well rounded build that emphasises all the Archers good points. Damage output, critical rate, aim and evasion. Invest in enhanced end gear to cover defence.

 

33dex / Rest End

A solid build for archers wanting to be able to take some damage while still dealing large amounts of damage.

"Archer was buffed so that it is stronger in situations it is usually not quite strong in. We believe it should be more balanced and playable now."
