Double stacking blight arrow is so powerful, no wonder they make it 2000 gold a piece in the vendor

If you climb a boss, stick an erupting arrow on its weak spot, then press Y to flip, it does massive knockdown damage. Great for Griffin, Cyclops, Chimera, Medusa, Drake, etc

I think Spiral Arrow is my favorite Archer skill, and never really hear people mention it. it stacks so much damage. Love the sound when it's drilling into weak spots

Deathly arrow timing is easier with controller. There's a small vibration that happens when the draw is full. Releasing when that happens nets you gold. Takes some concentration to pick out the vibration at first, but eventually becomes natural soon enough.

You've got very good informative videos. I especially like it when you include how effective pawns can be with certain skills.

Hot take Archer skill that use special arrow shouldn't be skill at all Its shouldn't take up skill slot, just use it as item like tome

blight is so powerful in this game. for any one who wants to really experience it without the hassle of getting expensive arrows, just buy the Spite daggers from the Checkpoint rest town for the Thief. Use ye olde Helm splitter and watch things melt. I think the arrows and this specific pair of daggers are the only ways for the player to inflict Blight. I could be wrong, and I may have missed something else.

Pulling Perfect Deathly Arrows in succession is such a satisfying feeling.

You can auto aim any shot as it's the same system Pawns use for archer vocation. Fire a guiding aimed shot at the part you want to target, then immediately use the shot you want without the Aim mechanic and it will aim at that guiding shot you just fired.

The deluging arrows are also useful for lightning enchants in addition to ice ones.

I’ve personally never had any issues manually aiming tempest shot. It’s feels pretty easy to constantly hit the weak points with it

Awesome video bro... I love the mispronunciation of some of those skill names.. lol

Also fun fact shooting enemies with deathly arrow when near a wall will pin them to it if they r still alive. I did it to a saurian in a cave and my pawn went to town as I laughed my ass to death

Spin to win arrow is so good.

Thank you for this video! I've always wanted to use the archer in the game but didn't know how. Erupting shot is ridiculous. Once i shot around 3-4 to a griffin and it instantly died leaving me confused what killed it 😂😂😂

Does the insta-kill arrow from that old guy in Batahl work on the final boss?

OMG. I didn't know you could auto aim tempest shot.

i recently started my ng+ and wanted to try warfarer archer mysticspear hand because of the kick back and quik fot, but now im excited to do the deluging shot Rhewynt (ice spear) combo

Tempest arrow is one of those skills designed to use at fallen ennemies. When an ogre or chimera lays down helplessly on the side or belly, this is bow go brr time

Will you check out the new remnant 2 dlc mate? Cant wait for a new video to drop.

Fun thing with Lyncean shot. It zooms you in AND stabilizes your vision. This means you can overdraw your bow with the archer core skill, then cast Lyncean sight and have a much more damaging arrow without the aim being shaky.

can you make a video about the impact of height and weight?

What helmet armor are you using?

I imagine if you had a sorcerer pawn, and were using spiral arrow, that would be bonkers for stacking up the explosions for the Flare spell.

I love this video! I've seen a lot of Archer guides made by people who don't seem to deeply understand the vocation, and that's clearly not the case here. I also just hit level 110 and, while Trickster is my main, Archer is my third-most played vocation and I really love it. I tend to play at closer range than most people probably do, making a lot of use of the kick- and slide-shots (Parting Shots fired during those do as much damage as a full-charged Steady Shot, for those who don't know), but I still fully agree with your skill rankings here. I usually run with Spiral Arrow, Deathly Arrow, and any two of the elemental arrows (Erupting and Nocuous are my faves). People tend to not realize the sheer lockdown potential of Spiral and how quickly it can apply elemental effects. Any normal-sized enemy will also be perma-stunned by a Spiral Arrow until it ends. I've also seen it slowly drill enemies right off the edge of cliffs, lol. I tend to find that regular Quick Shots auto-aim and fire off fast enough to deal with harpies without having to bring Tempest Shot, but it's still a really great skill. I also want to shout out the core skill Puncture Dart, definitely an underrated ability that I bet a lot of Archers don't even know how to do (click the right stick down while aiming Steady Shot). It has a lot of power and can hit multiple enemies. And can we nominate Archer for the most filthy vocation in the game!? The sheer disrespect on kicks! Kicking off enemies to do aerial shots, kicking skeleton heads off, the double flying kicks while sheathed, kicking enemies while they're down... just really vile, lol.

New subscriber here. Are you planning a magic archer video soon?

did you test if Deathly arrow has higher knockdown than erupting shot? I currently use Deathly Arrow because my build or rotation if you will is focused on knockdown rather than damage.

How does your stamina regen so quick?

Spiral shot is the absolute 🐐 especially with elemental boons

Would you mind sharing your whole build?

Hey man! Are you coming back to remnant 2 tomorrow?

First off where is that head armor found that is fireee. Whats it called?

How do these rank on pawns?

Need one for Magik archer, I can't find anywhere if soporific bolt works on drakes

Man, I'd just love if they'd have added more enemy variety...

For a pawn, would deathly arrow or heavenly shot be the best choice?

I found kicking the shit out of large enemies so fun when they fall as archer.

To note, Deathly arrow sweet release is 3 seconds after you activate the attack. Counting mentally will help a lot with the timing.

The archer maister skill also state the more stamina remains the potent the shot will be. And if understood that correctly you deal more damage depending how much stamina remains. And if that isnt a joke in itself it took me almost all my stamina to fully charge it. when i got 1300 stamina and 1600 with rings and using skill that reduce stamina usage with each skill still leaving my stamina down to 20%. They need to rework archer and greatsword majorly here since they to me at least 2nd to 3rd worst class to use in the entire game and trickster at the bottom.

What do you equip on an archer pawn?

I dont even use the special arrows and its still fun and pretty good

Remember they had a special arrow in the first game that would guarantee to 1 shot any dragons as long as you were not detected. But the arrow was in very limited quantity. I remember seeing peoples using that "'exploit" to level up really quickly.

Pro tip: Whenever you're using the RB Steady shot, to fire Incendiary/Erupting shot, IMMEDIATELY fire another arrow, to proc the explosion/tarring effect.

You also get a 10% damage bonus if you name your char Legolas69

Looks like I’m going back to archer for a bit…

What is the gear your using?

Isn’t tarring arrow supposed to be used in conjunction with other fire skills to keep things burning for longer?

is it true that pawns don't need special arrows to use the assigned skills?

I wish I could stop playing thief long enough to follow this guide 😂 seriously can’t get over the speedy daggers even in Skyrim that’s how I played

I think i would like archer more if the animation speed for equipping special arrows was quicker

Magic Archer please!

Im confused. On my save, with a max upgraded medusa bow, max strength through rings and augments, archer does less damage than a mage just spamming levin. Spiral arrows never stagger any big monster and deal damage that reminds me of the trickster 🙃 I leveled all vocations and I leveled the archer as one of the last, meaning I had top tie equipment for it right off the bat. But anywhere outside of the weakest areas, stuff takes negligible damage from my arrows. What am I doing wrong? I'm shooting weakspots as much as I can, but don't get results anywhere near yours. Archer feels like it tickles enemies and is almost the worst class in the game, the only worse one being trickster. So again, anything I'm doing wrong? I just shoot stuff in their usual weak spots, not like archer gameplay is particularly deep lol.

Is those bosses doing any damage? They look sad and fighting for their survival .

Deathly arrow and Heavenly arrow can one-shot some bosses when they are ambushed. Sleeping targets even more so. 1 Arrow, 1 kill.

i hope capcom fixes the keybind stuff.... archer for me is unplayable on controller and keyboard mouse is just horrible atm

Spiral arrow then exploding arrows and I kill dragons and Medusa like they are just goblins LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Deathly arrow from the first game did 6x damage if you released it perfectly

KNOCK-YOU-US *Nocuous*

I did not fall in love with

Tempest shot w manual aim destroys enemies when they’re staggered big or small- it’s abt timing

Honestly kinda disappointed with Archers Maister skill. You wanna run either Dire/Deathly Arrow or Heavenly Arrow, not both; highly recommend Deathly. You get to fire multiple, not deplete all your stamina and you get the cool perfectly timed shot

i started and maxed thief and to me archer seems a little boring compared to thief

E

Lyncean's shot nerf made me sad when playing as an archer; the ranger from DD1 was better and did more DMG.

Randomly when im getting some slashes in a pawn will launch me through the air then come in for a high five. Nice

They need to do better with ai pawn archer they just sit there while being charged at instead of getting out the way

I got to say magic archer was a let down it's was not great to me

If it doesn't shoot 10 freakin arrows at once from its bare hands, I don't want it , thanks though

Warrior so dog sh^&// ...

i find this class boring, your final skill suck, your true skill for damage is too overpower and makes the games too easy and in general i just don't like it... the combo you can do with ice and poison are very cool (mage with ice affinity, you secondary with poison daggers and fire daggers skill, enjoy carnage). Manual gatling on the face of a monster that is down feels too damn good even if you don't do big punish damage) shotgun arrows can feel incredible when the mobs are all in one point but most of the time, mobs are not in that condition and you need to space/aim very well to use it on monster (if they are not down) so i always prefer gatiling

ofc the tempest shot damage would be a joke if you don't aim it lmao. If you're fighting boss why use the auto target when the target is literally a barn? Just aim at their head etc and shoot away

Archer just seems meh compared to magic archer, thief, and sorc.
