Marksman

The Marksman is one of Avalon's seven classes and one of the most damaging class available currently. It has access to skills that deal massive damage and slight healing. As a trade off, it is limited to ranged weapons and has lowered HP and defense, along with the lowered physical damage stat. Making it a squishy but efficient class.

## Strategies

The marksman class is a heavy hitting DPS class and has the potential to produce insane amounts of DPS. However, you will require good aim since most of your skills and weapons require aiming to land fatal blows. You also have quite a bit of damage resistance. Try staying back and dodging most of the attacks coming at you, shoot back and keep your distance in the fight. Most of your marksman abilities require you to use bows along with arrows so make sure to keep that in mind when leveling up a skill. Most of your skills have insane range and some will require you to stay ranged to effect, keep your distance and use your minor healing skill when you get hit.

Marksman has a lot of variation, it has access to many different kinds of guns, bows, and offhand items. Making it a very interchangeable class.

## Recommended Gear

Aside from starting gear when you join Marksman has tons of dedicated armor and weapons to use.

General progression can take you from Patrol Armor Set to Platinum Ranger Armor Set. After Platinum Ranger the next step is to craft Auromium Paratrooper Armor Set from Arkshift Market. From that point on most players try to craft either Mega Revan Armor Set or Amplistone Armor Set.

As for weapons, there are a ton. Most players will start by crafting the Immortal Sniper and from there they might upgrade to any of the following bows. The epic bow Chispa, the relic bow Fuego, the relic bow Cursed Eros and the relic bow Eros. These bows are considered a step up and from then there are still many more paths you can take. The bows Cursed Eros and Eros actually can be fused to make the elder bow Fused Eros Double-Edged Desire. From Corrupted King Xero, you can craft the elder bow Typhoon the Archers Mastery. From Lovily in the Eve Boss Loot Room, you can also craft Heartflame and Inner Peace, one a flamethrower the other a sniper. There is also the Elder Gun Surge which is a common piece used to hit multiple enemies because it is a shotgun that shoots lasers. There is 1 Ancient tier Item that Marksman can use and that is Halo the Thundering Trifecta, an ancient bow that syncs well with the Amplistone Armor Set.
