The archer is one of the 4 starter classes in RBD. It has been ported over from RBS.

## Overview

On it's own, the Archer isn't particularly strong. It's bomb ability can shake off enemies and support your teammates when needed, though.

However, when there's an Engineer or Paladin on your team, Archer quickly becomes a devastating monster on the battlefield. When hitting all of it's arrows, the Archer can rapidly rack up ATKSPD and deal the most dps out of every other class in the game. Truly a force to be reckoned with.

## Movesets

* [ Passive ] : Grants a 2 second 1.11x ATKSPD buff per each arrow hit, up to a maximum ATKSPD of 15x.

* [ LMB ] : Shoot an arrow that deals 1x ATK. You are slowed by .8x while firing.

* [ AB1 ] : Roll in the direction of your cursor. Distance scales with your current velocity. (12s CD)

* [ AB2 ] : Throw a decoy that draws enemy aggro onto it. After 5 seconds, the decoy explodes and deals 3x ATK. (16s CD)

* [ AB3 ] : Your arrows turn blue and can deal piercing damage and pierce enemies and shields, you gain x1.65 ATKSPD, 1.5x Damage. Lasts 8s. (22s CD)

* [ AB4 ] : Toggle your LMB to be able to shoot in any direction, including vertically. You are immobile while doing this.

## Archer Strategy

* Use AB2 to lure the boss to a spot so that you can attack them at a safe distance.
* Camp with classes that can give you buffs such as GA, BM, Paladin, Engineer etc. to unlock Archer's full potential.
* Use AB1 to escape from tight situations or from a crowd of minions.
* The bosses that you can shred are Goblin King and Ignis Meam
	+ **Goblin King** is a sure win. Due to his hitbox you can fire at him rapidly with your passive. Turning you into a machine gun.
	+ For **Ignis Meam**, Focus on attacking crystals from a long range, when Ignis is down, use AB3, If Ignis is not down, use AB2.
* The bosses that you will have trouble dealing with are Shedletsky and Necromancer.
	+ **Shedletsky** will attempt to get into close range which is terrible for you. Stand back, and fire.
	+ **Necromancer** isn't a big deal by himself, but with his minions he is awful to face. Because of Mo's crap definition of classes, you're a Peeler. Draw away all the minions you can and mow them down 1 by 1 using AB2 and AB3.
* The bosses that will shred you are Data and Glacies Anima.
	+ Speed for the enemy is not a good thing for you, and Data is the exact representation of it. You are dead.
	+ Glacies Anima freezes your ass. You're also dead.

## Trivia

* By some logic that surpass everybody expectation, the string can apparently expand as much as it wants to with the /e dance command.
* Arrow color depends of the color of your torso.
* Theoretically, you could gain the atkspd buffs of a paladin, engineer and butcher, alongside the damage buffs of a guardian angel (and the butcher), while also having your time sped up by a timehopper, and also having a ghost, adventurer or frost to stun the boss (or all of them). You could also throw in a healer to keep everyone alive, and well now this is it because there's a limit of 10 players. So with the support of a paladin(1), engineer(2), butcher(3), guardian angel(4), timehopper(5), ghost+adventurer+frost(8)lol infinite stuns, healer(9), and yourself(10), everyone could time their abilities all at once (including archer's ab3) and transform you into a god. Sadly nobody has 9 friends to help them do this so we will never see this greatness.
	+ Also theoretically, apparently if a guardian angel buffs a guardian angel, then the guardian angel who is buffed will give better buffs. So maybe if we replace the ghost and adventurer with another frost while keeping the old frost (so now there's two frosts, who, together, can infinitely stunlock), and we ditch the healer, we could free up 2 slots, 2 slots freed from ghost and adventurer, 1 slot taken from frost, and 1 slot freed from healer, and now we replace these slots for 2 guardian angels, so now we have 3 guardian angels. Then just make a line of guardian angels buffing each other with links with the final person in the line being the archer. Of course, this is going to be more difficult because now you need 2 frosts...
		- Maybe it would be smarter to replace 1 of the guardian angels with another archer, and instead have 1 guardian angel for each archer. So 2 archers, 2 guardian angels, 4 buffers (guardian angels not included), and 2 stunners.
		- If anyone tried to attempt this, it would actually be insanely hard. First there's the impossible requirement of 9 friends, I mean, who has 9 friends? they have to be dedicated friends, too. Then they all have to play the game and max out the classes, and you'd need 2 of them to spend robux, one for engineer one for timehopper, which is 1750 robux total, and then you need 2 of them to get frost, which is much easier said than done, and then you need to actually coordinate to do the thing itself and well...Looks like becoming a god is actually a lot of hard work.
