Wind Archer Guide
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
Starting Out
So you've decided to volunteer for the Knights of Cygnus eh? Think you got what it takes? Well, before you can be a Knight, you've got to start from the bottom and work your way there. All Cygnus Knights start as a Noblesse, the Knights' very own version of the Beginner. But don't worry, you won't be one for long. Just follow the Knights' training, and you'll be up to level 10 in no time, and ready to pick your class.
