The guide below breaks down the best abilities, perks, and gear options to help you get the most out of Archer.
How to get all trophies in Ghost of Yotei Legends
Here's how to unlock every trophy in Ghost of Yotei Legends, including story missions, invasions, raids, and class progression.
The best build for Archer in Ghost of Yotei Legends
An archer starts with a bow, but increasing the class unlocks additional ranged weapon slots, allowing you to equip options such as Hankyu or Concussion bombs. The Archer's class abilities are completely different, one focuses on increased damage and increased draw speed, while the other provides an incendiary projectile that explodes over a large area on impact.
Choosing the right class ability depends on the mode you are playing. For Story or Survivalwhere you don't work with large groups all the time, Empowered hunting is a better choice as it increases your damage and allows you to pick off enemies quickly. For Invasion and Raidswhere enemies spawn in great numbers, Shadowflame Arrow it's much more effective as you can group enemies together and deal a lot of area damage.
Empowered hunting has excellent synergy with Hankyu Storm. This bow eliminates the need to aim while drawing and allows you to shoot quickly. With the ability active, most shots will deal one-shot damage to weaker enemies and heavy damage to stronger ones. There is also the option of not consuming arrows during this ability, allowing you to shoot for longer periods of time without worrying about ammo.
for benefits Stock replenishment is a must since ammo scavengers aren't always available, especially in longer engagements. The ability to regenerate ammo with Spirit ensures that you can constantly deal damage. Cooldown ability it's also a strong choice for the Perk 1 slot, allowing you to use your class ability more often.
archer's ultimate, Eye of Uchitsuneis another key part of the construction. Since you'll be headshotting frequently and securing kills, your ultimate will recharge quickly. All Ultimate perks are useful for manipulating groups of enemies, but for Invasion and Survival, Abundant ammo it's especially valuable because it restores 65% of your ammo so you don't have to constantly search for arrows during fights.
