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 Vortex Legends the Hunter also gains two custom branches: the Marksman line (Hunter's Mark) and the Beast Master line (a tameable beast companion).
Branches
The Hunter's skills divide into three playstyles:

- Marksman — focuses on a single marked target, boosting ranged burst and critical damage against the branded prey; scales into Killshot on Sniper.
- Beast Master — tames and commands a beast companion that fights independently, adding a second damage source the Hunter can direct.
