The Archer class is a ranged DPS. For gamers who prefers to attack from afar, this is a suitable class. Although the Tera Archer is dressed in light armor, the damage dealt by this class shouldn’t be taken lightly. Before you even know what have hit you, you might find yourself running for your life. That’s how dangerous TERA Archer can be, even more dangerous is using a Tera Archer guide. While hiding behind trees and from afar, the class can, at will leave a trail of corpse in its path.
The main weapon used by the Archer class is the bow. Similar to Archers in other MMOs, the arrows that the Archer class use are usually imbued with substance or special abilities such as poison, rapid-fire or exploding arrows. Some Archer abilities lets them shoot multiple targets at the same time. Others deal critical damage to single targets.
Stuns, evasive moves and traps are among the other abilities available to this class. One interesting ability is the web arrow. When shooting an arrow of this type, it opens up as a web and traps enemies that are trying to flee. In a team, the Archer performs best behind the front-lines, in other words, the tanks. Using their skills such as stunning enemies or poison arrows, the Archer can make the lives of tanks much more easier.
