* The bonus only applies to Huntresses, not to other members of the party.
* The Bestiary shows the number of captures and damage bonus for each type of enemy.
* Janitors, Arena enemies and the Dimension 1 Dark Lord cannot be captured.

Innately - Leader (Passive)

* Higher cooldowns can be reduced with additional Huntresses.
* The Gem of the Restless also provides cooldown reduction.

Level 25 - Mark

* Target receives 1.5x damage for 2 turns.
* Some Dimension Bosses have 100% resistance to status effects so they cannot be marked.

## Description

She can be unlocked by buying Wildberry Blast.

These unpredictable but highly versatile adventurers are capable of increasing damage done to enemies through Mark and Soul Bond. The cooldown reduction is important for many allies such as The Wizard. The Leader passive also allows your party to risk going into random portals more often.

Like the Darkmage, she has an extra accessory slot.

This class lends itself to two different play styles. The first is to keep a Huntress in the party as a support to Mark powerful enemies and provide greater access to Fairies for healing and MP. There are drawbacks with this style. The MP from random portals is not as reliable as Mystic Recharge, so this may not be suitable for Darkmages. It works better to support Carpenters, and Mark combines well with Nailed It, although Carpenters alone are more reliable at dealing damage.

## Capture Builds

The other play style is to bring several Huntresses and get captures for Soul Bond, making full use of her abilities. This may be better for those already familiar with the game who are looking for a challenge.

Soul Bond only increases when she is the one who gets the kill. To get more captures, do not attack with damage-over-time Status Effects such as Poison, as an enemy that dies from such effects will not count even if the effect was dealt by a Huntress. Also, kill enemies in the first turn when possible so they don't die from Reflection. A good way to do this is by staying at lower floors longer.

Most Dimension Bosses can be captured, and while this provides no practical benefit, the capture will be shown in the Bestiary. If this is what you want, then be especially careful to ensure that a Huntress deals the killing blow to the boss, as you only get one chance. Bring a Stone of Sight or upgrade to Allsight. If it looks like it may not happen, you can exit the battle, warp back and try again.

The extra accessory slot can hold a Phantasmal Claw for group attacks. Mark helps take down Dimension Bosses without depending on Carpenters.

Carpenters are also worthwhile in the first dimension or two.

Phantasmal Claw for groups of enemies.
Leader keeps MP up.
Laser for individual enemies.
Stop using random portals when MP pool is high enough. Use random portals less often as you get closer to this point.

## Character Mastery

Total: +50 HP, +18 Attack, +13 MP, +2% Damage Reduction, +16% Damage Reflection, +2% Status Resist, +2% Crit Chance, +7% Crit Damage, +6 HP Regen, +9% HP Increase, +9% Attack Increase, +5% Boost to Physical Attacks, +2% Gold Find, +1 Item Find, +3% Essence Find.

Compared with other classes, Huntresses get a large Reflection bonus. Souls of enemies that die from Reflection cannot be captured. It helps finish off rare enemies like the Snatcher who survive longer than the rest, although those enemies are more important to capture, so the Reflection bonus is somewhat counterproductive in such cases.

1. ↑ The base damage bonus is affected by multipliers such as claw or back attack and magic or physical damage boosts. It works like up to 500 levels in the Relic of Attack. This compares favorably to the Magic Master 25% boost, equivalent to 125 levels in the Relic of Magic Boost.
2. ↑ Alternate Dark Lord forms such as the Dark Chameleon each have souls that can be captured.
3. ↑ Rare enemies survive more Huntress attacks because the capture bonus for them isn't as large due to fewer captures. Once max captures of that enemy are obtained, this difference goes away.
