Archer

"Precision is the key to victory. The archer sits comfortably at range to decimate their enemies with powerful projectiles. Evading and dodging enemies attacks is crucial to the playstyle of this class. Archers dish out huge amounts of damage, but aren’t so adept at defending themselves."

The Archer is one of the five playable classes in Wynncraft and uses a bow as its weapon. With a base defence rating of 60% and the most damaging weapon class in the game, the Archer is notorious for being a glass cannon. With low defense, Archers need to constantly regain health, whether through Life Steal, a Mage's Heal spell or Health Potions.

Spells
The Archer spells vary from helpful utility spells to high-damage spells devastating in combat both against single enemies and groups.

Arrow Storm
The Archer's first spell, unlocked immediately at level 1, is Arrow Storm. Upgrades for the Arrow Storm spell are unlocked by reaching levels 16 and 36. This spell expels tens of arrows in rapid succession. As you level up the skill, each stage lowers the damage per arrow, but increases overall damage by raising the amount of arrows.
