Getting Started as an Archer in Rune Slayer

If you're a seasoned archer, feel free to skip this section. For newcomers, here's what you need to know: As an Archer, your most effective strategy is to maintain a safe distance from enemies and rely on your arrows to deal damage. While Archers can inflict significant damage, they are not built to withstand it.

Archers wear Medium armor, which offers more protection than Light armor but less than Heavy armor. Unlike Light armor-wearing Magicians or Priests, Archers lack protective spells or heavy armor. Instead, Archers depend on others to absorb damage, particularly through the use of Pets.

Tamed Pets are crucial for Archers. Initially, your pet options may be limited, but as you progress, Archers gain access to unique pets, enhancing their status as one of the game's most formidable classes.

How to Get Beast Tamer in Rune Slayer

At Level 30, Archers, like all other classes in Rune Slayer, can choose a subclass. Opt for Beast Tamer over Sharpshooter. The allure of firing multiple arrows is tempting, but the Alpha Predator passive ability exclusive to Beast Tamers is invaluable. This ability allows you to tame unique beasts like Bears, Adult Spiders, Crocodiles, and Mud Crabs, making Beast Tamers exceptionally resilient and capable of soloing many group activities.

Here are the best armor sets and weapons for Archers at different stages of the game.

As you approach max level, the Elder set is an excellent starting point, complemented by the Troll Tusk Bow, which can drop from the Hill Troll.

Craft the Elder set using parts from the Elder Treant raid boss. Join a group or a Discord guild to tackle this challenge. As an Archer, you'll find it manageable to deal damage and survive, especially with a strong Beast Tamer pet.

At max level, join the Demon Sect and engage in PvP to increase your standing. This will allow you to acquire the Stalker armor set. Be prepared to save a significant amount of in-game currency.

While advancing, target Amphitheres in Greatwood Forest for a chance to obtain Vermilion, the top bow in Rune Slayer.
