Getting Started as an Archer in Rune Slayer

Whether you're a seasoned archer or just starting out, understanding the basics is key. As an Archer, your most effective strategy is to maintain a safe distance from enemies and let your arrows do the talking. While Archers can deal significant damage, they're not built to withstand heavy hits.

Archers don medium armor, which strikes a balance between the protection offered by light armor and the robustness of heavy armor. Unlike magicians or priests, Archers lack protective spells or heavy armor. Instead, they rely on team members and their pets to absorb damage.

Tamed Pets are crucial for Archers. Initially, your pet choices may be limited, but as an Archer, you'll gain access to a wide variety of pets unavailable to other classes, enhancing your power and versatility in the game.

How to Get Beast Tamer in Rune Slayer

Upon reaching 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 Beast Tamer's Alpha Predator passive ability is unmatched. This skill allows you to tame unique beasts like Bears, Adult Spiders, Crocodiles, and especially Mud Crabs, making Beast Tamers exceptionally resilient and capable of soloing many group activities.

Best Armor and Weapons for Archer in Rune Slayer

Here, we'll outline the best armor and weapons for Archers at different stages of the game.

Best Early Endgame Armor and Weapon for Archers

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. Don't be intimidated by its size; join a group or a Discord guild to tackle this challenge. As an Archer, you'll find dealing damage and surviving manageable, especially with a strong Beast Tamer pet.

Best Late Endgame Armor and Weapon for Archers

At max level, join the Demon Sect to access the Stalker armor set. This involves killing players from the opposing faction to increase your standing with the demon overlords. Be prepared to save a significant amount of in-game currency.

While working on your standing, take on the Amphitheres in Greatwood Forest. These bird enemies have a small chance of dropping Vermilion, the best bow currently available in Rune Slayer.
