Playstyle
Stay 2-3 tiles back. Mark a tile, let bruisers shove enemies into it.
Recommended ability path
The community-vetted path balances early-game survivability against late-biome scaling. Pick the first option at every branching node unless your warband is missing a role.
- Levels 1-3: maximise the basic-attack node — your bread-and-butter.
- Levels 4-6: pick the signature ability that defines this class.
- Levels 7-9: pick a defensive node before the boss of Biome 3.
- Level 10+: ult-amplifying nodes for the late biomes.
Best teammates
The Archer pairs cleanly with the Wardrummer (every class does), and benefits from at least one frontline soak. Pair with the Warrior if you want safety, or the Barbarian for tempo.
