Wind Archer Basics

General Description

Attacking the enemy from a far, Wind Archers are guided by the spirit of wind, Ventus. Ventus can be summoned to guard or fight, and can imbue its power to the bow as well as its owner. When a rational mind meets infinite freedom, a Wind Archer is born.

Pros

• Highest attack range
• Highest ranged attack strength, thanks to critical shot
• Quick attack rate

Cons

• Not particularly good at close range, though knockback helps a lot
• Very unstable damage
• Arrows are used very quickly
