"Top Archer Build Strategies for Rune Slayer"

If you're playing as an Archer in Rune Slayer, you've chosen one of the most powerful classes in the game. To help you maximize your potential and become a top-tier sharpshooting adventurer, we've put together the ultimate guide for the best Archer Build in Rune Slayer.

Getting Started as an Archer in Rune Slayer

If you're a seasoned archer, feel free to skip ahead. But if you're new to the class, here's what you need to know: Archers excel by maintaining a safe distance from enemies, letting their arrows do the talking. While they can deal significant damage, their ability to withstand it is limited.

Archers don medium armor, which offers more protection than light armor but less than heavy. Unlike magicians or priests who have protective spells, Archers depend on others, including their pets, to absorb damage. Tamed Pets are crucial for Archers, and as you progress, you'll gain access to unique pets that enhance your class's strength significantly.

How to Get Beast Tamer in Rune Slayer

At level 30, Archers can choose between two subclasses: Sharpshooter or Beast Tamer. Opt for Beast Tamer to unlock the Alpha Predator passive ability, which allows you to tame exclusive beasts like Bears, Adult Spiders, Crocodiles, and Mud Crabs. This subclass makes Beast Tamer Archers exceptionally resilient and capable of soloing many group activities.

Best Early Endgame Armor and Weapon for Archers

As you approach the maximum level, equip the Elder set to boost your performance. The best early weapon is the Troll Tusk Bow, which can drop from the Hill Troll.

Craft the Elder set using parts from the Elder Treant raid boss. Team up with a group or join a Discord guild to tackle this challenge. As an Archer with a strong Beast Tamer pet, you'll deal substantial damage and have a better chance of survival.

Best Late Endgame Armor and Weapon for Archers

At max level, join the Demon Sect to access the Stalker armor set. You'll need to engage in PvP combat, defeating players from the opposing faction to increase your standing and earn the necessary currency.
