Hunter: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:08, 16 June 2026

Hunter is a second class of the Archer line, master of traps, the falcon and ranged burst. Hunters control the battlefield with a deep arsenal of ground traps — snares, status mines and elemental explosives — while their falcon companion adds automatic and on-demand damage. They blend area denial, crowd control and hard-hitting bow attacks into one of the most versatile damage-dealing classes. On VortexRo the Hunter also gains two custom branches: the Marksman line (Hunter's Mark) and the Beast Master line (a tameable beast companion).
