Basic Archer guide

Jay's Archer Guide!

Hello everybody. This is my one upon many guides I’m aspiring to make. I am making this guide in order for Archers to follow and to familiarize themselves with the class’s potential. I’ve been playing Archers a bit here and there I thought it will be useful to spread the knowledge to fellow Fate citizens. If you’ve found this guide useful, like the post and tell others. Now let’s begin.




Full Dex- Meaning you will have a greater evasion benefit over all classes, many players chose this build cause they don’t need any high DEX and END armor, which are fairly rare and expensive for many players, but if you have a lot of money, and are committed to search a long time for Jewellery(necklaces, earings and rings), armor and weapons, this build is recommended. I would suggest crossbows for this build because you don't have any STR to increase bow damage.

Crit Build- this personally, is my favorite build and it is based on having as high critical rate as possible. For this build you must have 25 SPR and rest END or STR. With 25 spr, you get an extra 5% critical bonus. If a weapon license is included you can gain up to another 5% crit rate! .For those who don’t know what a license is refer to the bottom of the guide for terms that are being used in the guide. Since there will be many cash shop items in-game, the crit rate will be further incremented.

Full END or STR – Just to clarify, archers are poor tankers and have more need for evasion rather than END/STR. I’ve seen plenty of full end archers, I believe that sacrificing all stat points on END or STR over DEX is a bit foolish. The 25 SPR critical hit rate has more value than hitting higher with full STR. It could be good if you had some extra damage while kiting, but then again, 5% crit rate is better. *Note* Since this is a private server the crit rate doesn’t matter.

Hybrid - This what most archers favor, and in many ways this could be a fine build. Hybrid could also be known as “Well-rounded”. You start by leveling up from 1 - 20 only upgrading SPR, until it hits 25. Then, do 50 DEX for maximum Evasion, and finally it’s your choice of whether you want to input the rest to END or STR. It's recommended to upgrade END, because archers need defense more than STR. These are some of many archer builds are there. Pick whichever suits your playing style!

This is a very common question that users ask, which is better xbow’s or bows? I would personally say bow are a bit better. This question is more of an opinion than a fact; both have their pros and cons. Here are some:

Bows:

PROS:
• Faster attack rate
• Easy to spam skills
• Ideal solo weapon
• Better aim
• Better for PvP

Cons:

Low base damage


Xbows:

Pros:

• Higher base damage
• Better for group kills( i.e., PvE)

Cons:

• Slower attack rate
• Lower aim










*Please disregard the typo .


There are currently four different job changes as you can see from the chart. In this section I will only be explaining the two primary jobs which are sharpshooters and Rangers. The Sharpshooter will have continued access to Bows while the Ranger gets to use Cross Bows. Here’s a vague description of both classes.


SS:

Sharpshooters only have access to bows. Sharp shooters are great in 1 vs. 1 combat as they begin to level. Sharp shooter can disarm his/her opponents and catch them off guard and even blind them for a moment. Not only that, but also Sharp shooters can shoot a guided arrow to hit the target no matter how far running away or trying to escape.


Rangers:

Rangers continue to use Xbows only.They can spy on the opponent and follow them secretly and even scout within the center of the monster crowds without being seen. Their endurance and spirit will increase as the level increases. They can enthrall their enemies and set booby traps everywhere. One con about the booby-trap is that the booby trap land mine will explode, damaging both the enemies and allies.



Terms:

NPC: Non-player character
SS: Sharpshooters
PvE: Player versus Enviroment
PvP: Player versus Player
Dex: Dexterity
End: Endurance
Str: Strength
Spr: Spirit

Licenses: They increase the damage your weapon does to a certain monster. The more times you kill that monster, the more damage/crit you can do. There are different kinds of monster licenses that can be found in drops. In our case there probably will be an npc that offers various monster licenses to players .

Please feel free to add more information to this guide, I know that there’s a lot missing . I hope that this short guide helped a bit.
