RareField Notes
Free-to-play PvE hero who, at 8★, out-damages his rare grade in late boss fights
- PvP
Not suited. Stacks build from boss kills, so they never accumulate in Arena.
- PvE
Tier 4, but 8★ changes the picture. Stacks build per boss, so at rounds 40 and 50 he gains ATK, attack speed and crit damage +36% each (9 stacks).
Early rounds are ordinary, so use him to push late-chapter boss fights.
- Performance
2★ ATK +4% per stack, 5★ two stacks per boss and one per elite, and 8★ two starting stacks plus crit damage +4% are needed to reach 9 stacks quickly.
The Verdant Gold Archer skin adds a starting stack and 9 Sun-Piercing arrows. The 1/4/7★ ATK +3% applies to every mode.
- Shards
Sourced from the Guild shop (900 pts per shard) and the 12-week Guild Expedition rare selection chest (50 shards). As a rare, 8★ is a realistic cost.
