Seeker

Master of the Bow

## Description

Wielding a variety of bows and other ranged weapons, the Seeker specialises in dexterity and intellect based abilities. Their speciality cards fall into one of four broad archetypes:

1. The Archer
2. The Monk
3. The Shapeshifter

## Archetypes

### The Archer

The Archer focuses largely on the conjuration of an assortment of arrows with a variety of effects. This works well with most of The Seeker’s weapons, but is particularly effective with the Shortbow since it conjures arrows itself. The most congruous weapon power would be Manyshot Weapon, but there is no necessity to choose a particular power. With the exception of the Greatbow, most weapons will benefit from Talents such as Deadly Accuracy and Marksmanship that directly improve damage dealt by both basic attacks and conjured arrows, as well as Conjurer which improves the damage of all conjured attacks.

### The Monk

The Monk’s primary focus is in making many basic attacks and taking advantage of discarding cards. The Monk is most suited to weapons such as the Longbow or Greatbow that have additional effects when played from ambush, as any card that makes basic attacks (such as Mindstrike) will apply all ambush effects when applicable. Thematically, Balanced Weapon would fit best with The Monk, and no other talent would contribute materially to The Monk. Talents will vary depending on what weapon is used, but Shadowdancer and Marksmanship always good choices. When using the Longbow, Mobility will make good use of any evasion gained, while Painbringer will aid with survivability when using the Greatbow.

### The Shapeshifter

Less of a build in of itself, The Shapeshifter combines well with any of the other builds to augment their primary purpose; it is based around the four different Beastforms (Bear, Cat, Raven, Dragon) available to The Seeker, and makes full use of discarding cards to gain the effects of the current form. A basic idea would be to combine the Longbow with Featherform to gain large amounts of evasion and draw large numbers of extra cards. A more wholistic build would be to use the Shuriken, and rely on card discards at the end of the turn to deal damage as well as gain additional effects from the current Beastform. One of the key parts of this build is to take the Shifting Weapon power, as the Beastform cards can be difficult to acquire. There are no talents particularly suited to the Shapeshifter, but the usual Deadly Accuracy and Marksmanship are always good for The Seeker; if combining the principles of The Shapeshifter with any other build, pick talents that line up with that.
