Getting Started as an Archer in Rune Slayer

If you're a seasoned archer, feel free to skip ahead. For newcomers, here's how to start strong: As an Archer, your best strategy is to maintain distance from enemies and let your arrows speak for you. Archers deal substantial damage but are not built for taking hits.

Archers don medium armor, which offers more protection than light armor but less than heavy. Unlike magicians or priests, Archers don't have protective spells or heavy armor. Instead, they depend on teammates and their Pets to absorb damage.

Tamed Pets are crucial for Archers. While initial pet options are limited, Archers can eventually access unique pets, making them exceptionally powerful within the game.

How to Get Beast Tamer in Rune Slayer

At Level 30, Archers, like all classes, choose a subclass. Opt for Beast Tamer over Sharpshooter. The allure of firing multiple arrows might be tempting, but the Alpha Predator passive ability of the Beast Tamer is unbeatable. This skill enables you to tame exclusive beasts like Bears, Adult Spiders, Crocodiles, and especially Mud Crabs. Beast Tamers are so resilient and powerful that they can solo many group activities.

Here’s a breakdown of the best armor and weapons for early and late endgame Archer builds in Rune Slayer.

Best Early Endgame Armor and Weapon for Archers

As you approach max level, equip the Elder set along with 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 manage well, especially with a robust Beast Tamer pet.

Best Late Endgame Armor and Weapon for Archers

At max level, join the Demon Sect to access the Stalker armor set. Gain favor by defeating players from the opposing faction, and save up a significant amount of gold.
