Overview

Archers are experts at long-range combat with Bows and Arrows. Their range gives them several advantages, which includes:

• The ability to change the element of their weapon quickly by changing their arrow type. This makes Archers able to exploit elemental advantages easily.
• Accuracy and damage is increased by the same stat (DEX), allowing all attacks to connect and deal a lot of damage.
• Range enables archers to defeat stationary or slow-moving opponents that are stronger than they are without being hit.

Drawbacks of the Archer class include:

• Low VIT limits their ability to survive when they are caught up in melee situations.
• Require Arrows for every attack with a Bow. Running out of arrows in a firefight can make an Archer useless.
