[Guide][Interlude]Archers

[Reptant_]

heya all...kinda a long time since my previous guide...so i am back with a new one:About Archers(Sagittarius/Moonlight Sentinel/Ghost Sentinel) in Interlude

yeah,interlude,cause most of you play there...and archers are not so worthy in higher chronicles

but enough with this -_-

---

Overall

We can say ,archers are the best class in every Interlude server.And,sadly that's so true

There are 3 types of them:

-Sagittarius(human,aka HawkEye)

-Moonlight Sentinel(elf,aka Silver Ranger)

-Ghost Sentinel(dark elf,aka Phantom Ranger)

 

Choosing which one is better,is up to you,and server you play

 

As Sagittarius,you will have more CON,something that means high survivability ,which combined with DASH is pwnage.Also you have skill SNIPE,that gives u ultra fckin range

 

As MS(moonlight sentinel),you will have more DEX,but less STR.That means high critical rate,but low damage.But you have RAPID FIRE ,which increases your atk speed a lot,and is very very helpful in pvps with classes when you can't run(px you start pvp in low range with mage,vs dagger etc)

 

As Ghost Sentinel,you will have more STR,but less con&dex.That means very high damage,but low crit rate& life.DEAD EYE will boost your damage a lot(i mean a lot)but ur atk speed is fcked up

 

 

The path routes to become are

Human Fighter->Rogue->Hawk Eye->Sagittarius

Elf Fighter->Elf Scout->Silver Ranger->Moonlight Sentinel

Dark Elf Fighter->Assasin->Phantom Ranger->Ghost Sentinel

Lethal Shot Fires an arrow to target enemy,dealing much damage,and having possibility to lethal him(makes him go 1 life)

Armors

 

 

 

 

 

Attention!

More specifically,some things

I see some guys,in Interlude servers using Imperial armor.It's cause of failed server,mostly

as archers,we must use DRAGONIC or any other light

first of all,it's advantage vs mage.Especially when +6 or more it gives Mdef

But also,we must increase our evasion.An archer with heavy VS an archer with light who plays with evasion,evasion one will win.Only retarted use heavy on archers

don't forget to have your armor +6 to gain extra mdef+evasion

 

Also,about the evasion thing,you can have +6 evasion if while pvping you move..it's a passive skill ;D

Weapons

a not so big deal for an archer in Interlude

At 20lvl take the Dark Elven Bow

 

At 40lvl take the Crystallized Ice Bow with SA Quick Recovery

 

At 52lvl take the Bow of Peril with SA Quick Recovery

 

At 61lvl take the Soul Bow with SA Quick Recovery or  Sheed's bow

 

At 76lvl take the Dragonic Bow with SA Focus (or Shining)

If you are Moonlight sentinel,or even Saggi at Java servers,prefer CRITICAL SLOW SA.You can have full crit rate(500) even w/o SA focus

Jewels

Don't really need jewels till 40 level

then

40-52

Βlinding Set

52-61

Black Ore Set

61-76

Majestic Jewel Set

76-80

Tateo Set

 

But,as archer,our target is boss jewels.First,most important ones are AQ and Baium

then Valakas

check below

---

Buffs

About buffs,we must increase our speed/atk speed/Crit rate/crit damage(URGENT),life,pdef,mdef ,and evasion/resists

so,these are standard

Now,add

Blessing of Queen(never gift!)(always when we can)

Evasion buffs

Chant of Evasion/Agility

Song of Water

Resists

Divine protection

Elemental Protection

(if many slots,add:Dance of aqua/song of flame/invocation/storm,resist water/wind/aqua,unholy/holy protection)

 

Something Important about buffs!

Berseker spirit

imo,while playing with Dragonic,berseker spirit isn't needed

you need evasion,and a bit more pdef/mdef

so,a bit lower pdef than playing with IC& bers,much more pdef,more atk speed,more evasion.The only bad is a bit lower Patk

still,your choise

Dyes

Sagittarius

I would suggest STR+5 DEX +4 CON-9

killing machine,still high CON we have + dash ,doesn't die easily

Moonlight Sentinel

STR+5 CON-5

WIT+4 INT-4

no need DEX(high atk spd/critical) and wit needed to cast spells quickly)

Ghost Sentinel

STR+2/3 -CON

DEX +4 CON-4

WIT+4 INT-4

Same here,about wit,needs to cast hex/power brake quickly

dex is needed,str not so much

---

Skills enchantment

For sure,first skill is STUNNING SHOT.Make it atleast +10/11(@Chance)

Then,double shot(@power)

Ultimate Evasion @ Reuse

Vicious Chance @ power

 

---

XP zones

1-20 gremlins ,elven ruins etc

20-30 Brekas

30-40 death pass

40-52 cemetary lower(not upper in drakes)

52-60 cemetary down/VOS

60-70 Blazing Swamp

70-78 Ketra/Varka

then,continue in varka/ketra or find a group and go @fog

General Tactics

 

-As Sagittarius,you must always play in max range.You have Dash and big range.Try to get advantage of it

Mages are easy for you if you run and hit

 

Daggers...if a adventurer,better stay in position,so he can't backstab you

if wind rider/gh better run,if you play well he will never reach you.Also use hamstring

 

Vs Archers,use Snipe

 

Vs tanks,run and use lethal shot.Nothing more

 

Vs titan run run run and hit

 

Vs gladi/tyrant  try to keep in big range,so he doesn't hit you many times

 

-As Moonlight Sentinel,most times you will be with Rapid Fire

so,vs mages better play in low range with rapid fire

 

vs daggers,same,you can't run

 

vs archers,don't forget to use evade shot,and ue if needed

 

vs titans,run,they can't reach you

 

vs tanks,lethal shot ;D

 

vs gladi/tyrant,just don't let them come in meele range.Keep in some range

 

 

-As ghost sentinel,u have 2 choises.Use Dead Eye or not.If you use it,your criticals will be harsh,but if u don't critical them u die

vs mages better use it,vs other classes no

 

VS mages,run and hit.In low range,use hex in start

 

Vs archers,use evade shot/hex/power brake

 

Vs daggers,hex and stay in position

 

Vs titans,run,hamstring,qq

 

vs gladi/tyrant,don't go for hex.Not recommended

 

vs tanks,lethal shot again

 

 

Generally vs an archer,move all the time(except if u have snipe).You gain +6 evasion when doing this

when a mage is in low range,use stun

also,in L2Off servers,use stun often,in java not so much
