Archer

The Archer Dungeon Orb

For tutorials, please go to Tutorials/Archer Guide.

Archer is a Dungeon class that specializes in dealing extreme ❁ Damage through ranged attacks using bows. It shares the area-clearing ability of the Mage and the tank-slaying ability of the Berserker, but, in return, is extremely fragile. This class relies heavily on ☠ Crit Damage and ❁ Strength, much like the Berserk class. It is the best class for damage per second (DPS).

Class Passives

• Doubleshoot: 50% Chance to shoot a second arrow.
• Bone Plating: Reduces your next incoming hit by X ❁ Damage (scales with Archer level and ☠ Crit Damage) Cooldown: 250 Seconds
• Bouncy Arrows: X% chance for your arrow to bounce to an additional target. Cooldown: 15 Seconds

Dungeon Orb Abilities

• Explosive Shot: Shoots 3 arrows that explode on impact, dealing the same ❁ Damage as your highest bow hit in the last minute in a 4 block radius. Can also explode things similarly to  Superboom TNT.
• Rapid Fire: Shoots 5 arrows per second for 4 seconds! Arrows deal 75.0% of your highest bow hit in the last minute.

Ghost Abilities

• Healing Bow: Shoot a teammate to heal them for 20% of their max ❤ Health and grant them +50 ❁ Strength for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 Seconds Note: does knockback to teammates.
• Stun Bow: Temporarily stuns any non-boss Dungeon monster for a short period of time when shot. Cooldown: 5 Seconds

Recommended Gear

Armor

For a high budget setup, use  Necron's Armor, as this provides the largest ❁ Damage buff in the game. For a slightly lower budget setup, use  Shadow Assassin Armor which, whilst dealing less ❁ Damage than Skeleton Master, provides much more survivability. For a much cheaper setup, use LEGENDARY  Skeleton Master Armor, which does the second largest amount of ranged ❁ Damage in the game. Also, try to prioritize getting a  Tarantula Helmet due to its Radioactive ability.

Weapons

The best weapon for Archer is the  Terminator (600,000,000–750,000,000 coins), paired with a  Necron's Blade (900,000,000–1,200,000,000 coins) or its upgraded versions. The second best weapon for Archer is the  Juju Shortbow paired with a  Livid Dagger (7,000,000–8,000,000 coins) or a  Flower of Truth (8,000–1,200,000 coins). Using four  Bonemerang (3,000,000–5,000,000 coins) were the best weapons for Archers before the ❁ Strength nerf.

Pets

If you want the some extra ❁ Damage and survivability, use an  Ender Dragon Pet. If you want pure DPS, use a  Golden Dragon Pet with 1,000,000,000 coins in your bank. Alternatively, you can use the  Wither Skeleton Pet or  Skeleton Pet. Wither Skeleton is especially good for the Floor VII/Master Mode VII boss room, since you do more ❁ Damage to wither mobs. If you are struggling with staying alive, use the  Blue Whale Pet or  Baby Yeti Pet. The Baby Yeti Pet could be better as the Archer class is focused on ❁ Strength, and also can be helpful with a  Tarantula Helmet for even more ❁ Damage.

Accessory Powers

Getting Warrior for early-game, Shaded for mid-game, and Strong/Scorching for late-game is your best option for Accessory Powers.

The Archer class can reach its milestones by dealing bow damage in the Dungeon.

Trivia

• The Bone Plating passive might be a reference to a League of Legends rune, as both function very similarly and have the same name.
