Cygnus Knight:Wind Archer

WHY HAVE A WIND ARCHER

Well i think for those that have and prefer Bowman should get this right of the top be cause mainly its like a bowman with more power and less levels.Personally I think it's an upgrade to the bowman series.So if you like the Bowman ,and think you could use an upgrade, then try out the Wind Archer, it may take a while to level up at the first 20 levels (and up) but still it should work out in the end.

Wind Archer Pros and Cons

Pros

• Long range fire
• Doesn't take as much damage because of distance from the enemy
• Major long distance damage bacause of criticle shot
• Quick firing rate

Cons

• Not that good at close range
• Damage very random
• Arows used up pretty fast (until Soul Arrow is gained)

Begining as a Noblesse

Once you start out just follow the quest given and you'll be level 10 in about 5 minutes or so.
