Archer
- Awakening Weapon TalentGreatbow
- Combat StyleRanged
With a greatbow in hand, Archer stands above the battlefield staring down at his enemies. The greatbow is much larger than a regular bow, and his agility harmonizes with powerful arrows that are each as long as a spear. With the greatbow's capability to fire from a remarkably long range, he can deal lethal damage more quickly and from farther away.
