“	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.	„
	~ Official website

The Archer is one of the five playable classes in Wynncraft and uses a bow as its weapon. With a base defence rating of 70% 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.

For in-depth information about play-style tips and tricks please refer to the Archer Guide.

Overview

The Archer's main attack fires a single arrow with high velocity and high range. It will deal damage to any mob or player it hits, and other targets in a very small area around the target, so it still deals some area damage.

The Archer's first spell, Arrow Storm, fires a barrage of arrows directly in front of the player, hitting enemies many times. Its upgrades increase the amount of arrows you fire with each cast. Arrow Storm is replaced with the following abilities if they are unlocked on the Ability Tree:

• Phantom Ray: Projectiles will no longer be fired rapidly in an inaccurate spread but will instead be fired in a single line damaging enemies 10 times a second.

The Archer's second spell, Escape, is the Archer's mobility spell that launches the player backwards, into the air, and slows their fall. At higher levels, it also grants the player and their allies speed and can blind enemies you land on. Escape is replaced with the following abilities if they are unlocked on the Ability Tree:

• Grappling Hook: A direct line is fired from the player, pulling them towards where the line hit.

The Archer's third spell is Arrow Bomb, which fires an explosive arrow that deals high area damage where it lands. At higher levels it also slows enemies and bounces to hit them again multiple times.

Finally, the Archer's fourth spell is Arrow Shield, a spell that grants the player a protective shield for a few minutes. When the player is attacked while Arrow Shield is active, all enemies nearby get damaged and flung away from the player. Further upgrades include increasing the amount of times it can trigger before disappearing, and adding an additional ranged counterattack to the spell. Arrow Shield is replaced with the following abilities if they are unlocked on the Ability Tree:

• Guardian Angels: 2 bows will appear beside the player and will directly hit enemies up to 8 times each.

Base Resistance

All classes in Wynncraft have a different base resistance value that affects how much damage they take. The Archer, having a base resistance of 70%, means it will take 30% more damage from all attacks.

The Archer takes more damage from mobs to make up for its long range and high damage potential.

Class	Archer	Warrior	Mage	Assassin	Shaman
Base Resistance	70%	100%	80%	100%	60%
Damage Taken	Takes 30% more damage	Takes neither more or less damage	Takes 20% more damage	Takes neither more or less damage	Takes 40% more damage

Main Attack

The Archer's main attack fires an arrow with high velocity and high range. It will deal damage to any mob or player it hits, and other targets in a very small area around the target, so it can still deal some area damage. The Archer's attack also deals knockback inversely scaling with the bow's attack speed. Faster bows will push mobs back less, while slower bows will knock mobs back much further.

Abilities like Double Shots and Triple Shots can increase the number of arrows you fire, while Homing Shots can make them home in on enemies. Twain's Arc can replace your main attack with a charged beam that has huge range and damage.

The Ability Tree for the Archer features three archetypes: the Boltslinger, the Sharpshooter, and the Trapper.

The Boltslinger archetype speeds around with high mobility and unleashing huge torrents of arrows onto enemies. Its abilities greatly increase the amount of arrows Arrow Storm fires, as well as empowering Escape and Arrow Shield to do the same. One ability, Guardian Angels, replaces your Arrow Shield with auto-firing turrets that attack nearby mobs for you to bolster your firepower further.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Damage: High
• Defense: Low
• Range: Medium
• Speed: High

The Sharpshooter archetype revolves around carefully aiming its shots from range. Its main ability is Focus, which boosts your damage as long as you hit enemies without missing. It has abilities that allow it to empower its Main Attack and Arrow Bomb alike into strong, long-ranged shots. Once it has enough Focus, the Sharpshooter can use the Crepuscular Ray ability to fly and fire a volley of homing arrows for a short amount of time.

• Difficulty: Medium
• Damage: High
• Defense: Low
• Range: High
• Speed: Medium

The Trapper archetype primarily uses Arrow Bomb in conjunction with Basaltic Trap to place Traps, which deal damage to mobs that walk over them. While it can lure enemies into Traps just by walking into them, the Trapper also has access to crowd control abilities that pull and drag mobs into your Traps. The Trapper also has access to extreme mana sustain thanks to its Mana Trap ability, which increases mana regeneration while near Traps.

• Difficulty: Medium
• Damage: Medium
• Defense: Medium
• Range: Medium
• Speed: Medium
