Early Game Guide - Archer
This is the Early Game guide for Archer. It contains basic information for all builds and then some specific builds to help you start!
Builds
Below are links to different builds!
DPS PVE
Coming Soon
PVP
Dark Trials (PVE)
Stages PVE
Foundations
These are the foundations to all the builds!
Gear
The Gear you need for these builds is Combo and/or Crit
Combo is more important
Prayer
You want 5x Global Combo DMG at your highest available rarity
Souls
PVP:
ATK > HP > Combo DMG ≈ Crit DMG > Crit Res
PVE:
Combo DMG ≈ Crit DMG ≈ ATK
Combo DMG first once its pink for Boss DMG
——
Pink Soul Order:
ATK ≈ Combo DMG (Lower if PVE not important) > HP > DEF
Avians
Avians:
Firefly → This is a generic Avian, it’s not the best in PVE or PVP but likely better simultaneously
Sunshine Bringer → Without certain items this is the best PVP one
Michelle → This is ideal for early PVE to help you survive!
———
Affixes (PVP):
Shroom Combo & Rage Bonus → These are main affixes, I recommend getting these first
No Speeding (or Speed Disruption) & Barrel Dodge → I would aim for these next
Debuff Immunity → Great for vs Disarm
———
Affixes (PVE):
Shroom Combo & Rage Bonus → These are main affixes, I recommend getting these first
Rage Slash + Against the Strong → I would aim for these next
Runes
There is not much change between PVP and PVE for these
For both I would go for 4x Crit DMG and 2x Crit Res (Saves you getting extras)
But you can get x2 Combo DMG for PVE or Glass Cannon PVP if you wish
On each rune you want Pink Global Combo DMG
For the secondaries, the left side will always be the same 3
However on the right they can change;
Top Right (Rune 4) → Combo DMG
Middle Right (Rune 5) → Combo/Counter/Pal DMG Res all work (PVP) or Batk DMG Res (PVE)
I would prioritise Counter for PVP
Bottom Right (Rune 6) → Crit DMG
Rune positions are most important. Having Pink runes on 1, 4, 5 and 6 with the above secondaries is important
Divining
Life Path
Your main obejective here will be Combo and Crit Rate as you want to get past 100% for players ignores later on
——
World Path
For the next path your foucs will be Combo/Crit Rate to keep overcapping
I would also get Pierce as it is great for your damage in PVE and PVP
And then you can look at defensive stuff like Ignores Counter
Guardian
The main ones Early Game are the Energy Regen SPD ones so I recommend getting these
Remold Priorities -> Combo/Crit Rate to push up to and above 100%
Orange
Green
Blue
Purple
Resource Allocation
Where to put your resources in Tech / Feathers / Sacred Tree?
Simple… Attack!!!
You can add some HP later on if needed
Items
For Items it is not entirely possible to always say what’s best for each person
For each build I will go over the top choices of P2W and F2P but if you miss things I encourage asking in threads or just testing!
Below are rough guides for Lucky Spinner and Rush Shop, these change based on what you have and what you need
For example Blizzard Visitor is great in some aspects over Glory Glow but if you have evasion for monsters and 100% Slow with glory for bosses, thats more ideal. Additionally if you had a high DPS mount it is better to waste a back slot on slow then a mount slot
