Archer types in any MMO are very versatile units. They have high damage output and can kill an enemy from a distance even before they come near. Masters in hand control and dexterity, they are able to launch arrows using bows with tremendous power and force, sometimes making even a single arrow to pass through to the next enemy at the back. Equipped with varied arrows which sometimes pose a weakness to the enemy monster they encounter. But that is an Archer in a normal hack and slash MMO. So what difference does the Atlantica Online archer have against other games?

The Bow main in Atlantica is considered to be one of the highest physical damage dealer to a single unit. Especially when attacking other long range units since range units does more damage to other ranged units. Archer Main and other Archer classes also have the ability to attack any enemy unit in the opponent’s formation regardless of the position. A bow main with good gears can reduce the range enemy’s health to ¼ in just one turn making it a force to reckon with. Aside from attacking, they have the silence skill which can silence an entire row thus preventing them from casting any magical skill.


* I'm gonna post the stats and skills later. lets speculate first

She has the ability to target any merc regardless of position, which makes her excellent in sniping down opponents. Her low hp and defense makes her a second/third row merc.

And now that himiko will be released I know Bow main will be the next trend since it's another time to adjust again the formation and build.

Even without Himiko, Bow mains are a trend now. Just take for example Sarahphoenix who always win the Titan championship.

^ Then maybe you are trying to say that heavy melee formations might be the next trend?

Not really... the time of melees has long passed. Since elems was introduced. It can be an effective counter but not a constant pvp.

It can be, to counter the snipe build... because Speedtrap changes his formation during the Final, Speedtrap vs. Timb3r... Speedtrap replaced his melee merc into Janni and Cannoneer.. and that time he lost ..... so that means that changing formation might is a form of strategy to counter ones formation also..
