Build byGameplay.tipsGamebrottKurosu_GamingOWIISHII

Stat Priority

  1. 1. DEX
  2. 2. AGI
  3. 3. LUK

One approach runs about 3 DEX to 1 AGI before Blitz Beat is learned (4 DEX : 1 AGI as a first-job Archer). Another puts AGI first (70 AGI, 70 DEX, 30 LUK) to push toward 193 ASPD. A simple starting point is Base AGI 25 then Base DEX 40. Both routes work; the DEX-first split is the more budget-friendly one.

Skills

  • Double StrafeLv.10

    Fires 2 arrows at the target. Each arrow deals 170%+60 Neutral Ranged PDMG.Main first-job damage skill; max it early as any Archer-line build.

  • Owl's EyeLv.10

    Increases DEX by 20.Passive DEX; worth maxing early.

  • Vulture's EyeLv.10

    Increases HIT by 20, Ranged PDMG by 10%.Passive HIT and ranged physical damage; always worth maxing.

  • Attention ConcentrateLv.10

    After using Improve Concentration, increases AGI and DEX by 10, and LUK by 20 for 600 sec.Self buff for AGI, DEX and LUK; keep it on auto-cast.

  • Progressive ShotLv.10

    Bow-exclusive skill. Fires 4 consecutive shots at the target, each dealing 270%+270 Neutral Ranged PDMG. The final shot's total skill multiplier increases by 50%.This is Crescive Bolt under a different translation; the main damage skill until about Lv60. Elbre bows boost it.

  • Arrow MasteryLv.10

    When using a bow to deal Basic Attacks or cast bow skills, gains 60 P.ATK Bonus. Using consumable arrows grants an additional 30 P.ATK.Bow damage passive; take it to 5 first, then 10 once points allow.

  • BeastbaneLv.10

    Increases Race DMG Bonus vs Brute and Insect by 10%.Worth maxing for ADL; move points here or into Arrow Mastery depending on the boss race you're fighting.

  • DetectingLv.3

    The falcon reveals Invisibile targets within 7 m of its location for 3 sec.Anti-stealth utility for PvP only; skip it in pure PvE.

  • Land MineLv.7

    Places a Land Mine at the target location, taking effect after a 1.5 sec delay and lasting for 30 sec; when an enemy enters within 2 m of the trap, it explodes, dealing (DEX+75)*(1+INT/50)*(2+Skill Lv./5)*(1+P.ATK/1000) Earth Ranged PDMG to up to 5 enemies within 3.5 m, with a 55% chance to inflict Stun for 2 sec.Lv7 is enough to unlock the Matrix Effect special skill, which gives a bonus when you stand near your own trap.

Rotation

  1. Keep Attention Concentrate up.
  2. Cast order: Crescive Bolt, then Double Strafe, then basic attacks.
  3. An alternative: drop a trap at your feet (for Matrix Effect), then weave Crescive Bolt between basic attacks from max range.
  4. Use elemental arrows that counter the target element; skills inherit the arrow element.
