Archers specialize in ranged combat, keeping enemies at a distance while dealing consistent damage. Core skills include Archery (your weapon skill), Tactics (improves damage and special moves), and Anatomy (improves damage and healing with bandages). Healing is crucial for self-sustainability. Bushido/Chivalry can provide powerful combat abilities and defensive options. Resisting Spells is also important for survivability. Attributes should focus on Dexterity for attack speed and stamina, and Strength for hit points and carrying capacity. A typical archer build might be 70 Str, 100 Dex, 55 Int. Equipment prioritizes high physical resist armor, powerful bows/crossbows, and properties that enhance damage, attack speed, and defense. Archers are excellent for kiting monsters and providing ranged support in groups.
