ALl about FORCE ARCHER---

hi guys i just like to share this to all force archer in the guild

Lets begin with stats:
This is the maximum Str and Dex stats that you should have:
Str: 113
Dex: 227
The rest you put on Int.

Now lets do skills.
This is the skills and skill lvls that you should have (if you're Transcender you should have enough points with 3 points left) (Magic):
Eagle eye - lvl 20
Repulsive Armour - lvl 20
Vital Force - lvl 20
Mana Condense - lvl 20
Vita Bless - lvl 9
Prismatic Arrow - lvl 20
Shadow Shot - lvl 20
Poison Arrow - lvl 20
Greater Heal - lvl 20
Critical Shot - lvl 20
Drilled Shot - lvl 20
Gravity Distortion - lvl 9

(Sword):
Fade Step - lvl 9
Dash - lvl 9

Now i will tell you how to use your skills.
Obviously with all the buff skills you buff yourself and others Now with atacking skills, this is which skills you should use and where.

For PVP:
Obviously you start combo straight away and use these skills to atack:
Shadow Shot first (knockdown at start=good chance to win)
Poison Arrow second (good damage and gives poison damage over time)
Gravity Distortion third (again, adds good damage with chance to stun)
Critical Shot last (adds good damage over short period of time)
After you used these 4 skills repeat all of them again.

Now for PVE:
Gravity Distortion first (stuns for long time)
Poison Arrow second (good damage and gives poison damage over time)
Drilled Shot third (good damage)
Prismatic Arrow fourth (good damage again)
Use these 4 skills on monsters and if you combo vs a melee mob it will be very hard for him to reach you ^^

Upgrade Skills:
When you reach Transcender you will have 6 upgrade slots. These are the upgrades you should buy and max:
Vitality Mastery (a must have for any char - adds alot of HP)
Force Control (another very good upgrade - adds alot of magic=more dmg)
Force Rolling (same as above but better ^^)
Damage Absorb (good upgrade skill - adds alot of defense)
Sixth Sense (a usefull skill in PVE - adds alot of def rate)
And for the final skill you should pick either:
Reflex (if you like PVE more than PVP)
Defensive Sense (if you like PVP more than PVE)

And finally I will tell you which equipment to use:
I cannot tell you exactly which items to use as these will change as you get higher lvl.
If you like PVP, try to get as much crit rate % and crit dmg % as possible.
And if you like PVE more, you can get more magic (although crit rate and dmg is good also)

So this is the end of my Force Archer guide . If you do not like something about this guide or think that I am wrong please do not follow it^^. This is how my Force Archer is build and I think that he is strong in PVP . Force Archers are a fun class to play if you know how, and I hope this guide helped you.

PvP Strategies

Against Warriors

Warriors Have A LOT Of HP And A Lot Of Defense, BUT, They Are NOT Indestructible. The Easiest Way To Win Against A Warrior Would Be To Cast Lower Defense And Fade Step Right After That. Then, Start Up Your Combo Mode And Use Combo Skills To Keep Him/Her Under Constant Damage, As You Cannot Miss Or Be Affected By Knock Downs Or Backs In Combo Mode.

Against Force Shielders

Any Force Shielder Is Not Meant For PVP But They Can Be VERY Strong Opponents Due To Their Access To Magic And Sword. Its Not Easy To Stay Away Because You Will Be Attacked With Distance Magic, Best Strategy Would Be To Hold Your Ground And Attack With Strong Fast Spells. I Highly Suggest Starting Off Poison Shot And Following With Shadow Shot And Critical Shot. After That, You Can Follow It Up With Cannon Skills Or Even Explosion Shot.

Against Force Blader

Force Bladers Will Be Extremely Difficult For Your To Kill Due To Their High Damage And Stuns. Unless You Are In Combo Mode, You WILL Lose. You May Have To Forcefully Break Your Opponents Combo By Double Dashing/ Dash->Fade Step Combos. Only Strategy I Have For These Fights Is To Combo With Fast Damage Dealing Skills.

Against Wizard

Wizards Will Probably Win Against You Because They Have A Much Higher Damage Rate But Once Again, You Can Win Against Them. Break Their Combo Early On By Using Fade Step Right At The Start Of The Duel And Follow It Up With Poison Shot. After That, Begin Your Combo Mode And Just Spam Away.

Against Bladers

These Battles Can Be A Pain Due To Bladers Having Stun Skills. The Best Strategy Against Them Would Be To Fade Step Right At The Beginning Of The Duel To Gain Some Distance And Begin Combo Mode Before You Are Stunned. Once You Are In Combo Mode You Are In The Clear And All You Have To Do Is Maintain Combo Mode.

Against Force Archer

Fighting Against Force Archers Will Be Extremely Difficult, Although It May Not Sound Like It. There Is No Point In Running As You Will Have No Place To Run. Just Start Your Combo Mode Up Right Away At The Beginning Of The Duel So Your Attacks Do Not Miss And Combo Away. The Archer With The Fastest And Strongest Skills Will Win.

a warning to those wanting to be Martial FA's.
Keep in mind that you would be following the wizard build. you would have lower everything except MATK in the long run.

Note that you would be limited to using Osmium armours as your final armours since the next armour sets are CLASS SPECIFIC. you won't get the FA's armour sets since there would be conflicting stats.

If I remember correctly, if you compare a martial FA to a battle FA with the optimum equipment and stat, Martial FA's would have +10 MATK, - 100+ def rate, and -60 def. What that means that you'd die much faster than a battle FA.

Side note: Armour FA's are simply impractical. It is strongly advised that this type is not to be taken. Yes, you have high def. But not as high as a warrior's, and you're far weaker than battle FA's.

1. as a pvp type FA, follow ko lng po ba yung stat requirements sa "Character Info?"
or tlgang aabot ako sa stats na Str: 113 Dex: 227 Int: XXX
- there is no other way but to follow the stat growth. But once you reach lvl 60, the stat growth requirement ceases.

2. ano po mga skills kukunin ko as a novice? nalilito po kasi ako sa dami ng skills na pdeng
bilhin.
- At low levels, it is best to get critical shot, repulsive armor, and precission along with other elemental arrows with high AMP.

GOODLUck guyS!! HAPPY PLAYING
