Best Archer Build in Rune Slayer

Dominate the battlefield as an Archer in Rune Slayer! This guide unveils the secrets to crafting the ultimate Archer build, transforming you into a sharpshooting powerhouse. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting your adventure, this comprehensive guide has you covered.

Getting Started as an Archer in Rune Slayer

New to the Archer class? The key to success is maintaining a safe distance from enemies, unleashing a deadly barrage of arrows from afar. While Archers deal immense damage, their survivability is lower than other classes. Therefore, strategic positioning and utilizing your pet are crucial.

Archers wear Medium armor, offering a balance between protection and agility. Unlike classes with defensive spells or heavier armor, Archers rely on their pets and teammates for survival. Tamed pets are essential, offering significant support and boosting your overall effectiveness. While initial pet options are limited, the Archer class eventually gains access to unique and powerful pets unavailable to other classes.

How to Get Beast Tamer in Rune Slayer

At level 30, choose your subclass: Sharpshooter or Beast Tamer. Without hesitation, select Beast Tamer.

While the Sharpshooter subclass sounds appealing, the Beast Tamer subclass offers the superior Alpha Predator passive ability, unlocking the ability to tame powerful creatures unavailable to other classes—Bears, Adult Spiders, Crocodiles, and especially Mud Crabs. This makes Beast Tamers incredibly resilient and capable of soloing group content.
