Home Page " Guide to Archero - best weapons, effects, tactics

When the game Archero appeared in the App Store, few people could have guessed that it would become a very popular time-killer. Although there were all the prerequisites for that - vertical format, the simplest possible gameplay and interface, "infinity", and a few other things that few people paid attention to. As a result, it turned out that Archero is now a very popular arcade game, which is played by a huge number of people around the world. It turns out that the developers earned 35 million dollars in 3 months - this is despite the fact that the game itself is free.

How to play Archero

Well here everything is quite simple - we control the shooter, who runs around the locations and kills monsters. At the bottom of the screen there is a huge joystick, responsible for moving the protagonist, shooting is done automatically. The game is divided into several locations, which, in turn, consist of several levels. With each new level the enemies become stronger and more sophisticated, and every tenth level is a meeting with the boss. A lot in Archero depends on your personal control of the character - if you just stand still, you will be simply killed on the first two levels. That's why you need to use hit and run tactics - after each shot you take a step to avoid getting hit by stray projectiles. For killing monsters you earn money, which can be spent on upgrades - character upgrades are scarce and consist of 9 elements (talents), among which there are traditional health, damage, attack speed, and damage resistance. As soon as you find the first weapon (or rather, any item at all), then you will open the corresponding tab in the main menu, where you can change your archer's appearance, weapons and armor. Which, of course, are categorized by rarity level and significantly increase your initial stats.

Items in Archero

Traditionally categorized into:

Weapons

There are 4 weapons in total - bow, shuriken or tornado (there is a built-in skill), scythe and sword (high attack speed and low damage). The shuriken (tornado) is a very serious weapon that deals good damage and has top-end passives. True, it is difficult to find it, and given that it returns to your hand, double damage on monsters does not always pass. Accordingly, the total damage from the item is reduced, plus it has no knockback, which may not appeal to some players, as well as will not be very relevant in a large concentration of milish enemies. The sword is usually chosen by experienced players and due to its peculiarities is not quite satisfactory for newcomers. The sword hits 50% faster than Tornado or Bow, 80% faster than Scythe. On the other hand, it does 20% less damage than the Bow, and 65% less than the Scythe. Plus it's hard to get used to the attack animations, as you can get so many skills that the game won't correctly display hits on enemies. As you can see, it's logical to choose "discard" for the sword to keep enemies at bay. Scythe has the highest base damage in the game, but also, logically, the lowest attack speed. However, it is chosen because of the discard and the ultimatum "headshot". The latter allows you to kill with 50% probability an enemy with one hit, whose health is below 30%. The scythe is incredibly fast at clearing locations and, in principle, is considered to be the most effective weapon in the game. The Bow has an interesting situation - it recharges as fast as the Tornado; it's pretty fast in terms of speed like the Sword; you can find a good combination of abilites on the Bow that together will do the same thing as "headshot", but these positives are not enough to keep the Bow a top weapon. The whole point is that for the Bow to be effective, you need a combination of several factors at once - successful skills, good items, and a convenient location. This synergy may not work, and then the bow will have to be discarded in favor of a better weapon. [UPDATE]: there are already 6 weapons - they added a spear and a staff. They are now considered top weapons, while the other four "default" weapons are shifted down a notch. The spear has increased damage and high attack speed (with almost no significant reduction). This allows for good damage, especially if you consider the passive - when you hit the same monster, the damage increases. Some people consider it basically the top weapon in the game, but it depends on your playstyle. The staff throws opponents back, it is faster than the spear, but it hits weaker. However, the more damage you deal, the more chance you have to hit that target. If you don't have an epic staff, you can run around with a scythe.

Armor

There are 5 types of armor in the game, each has its own specific stats, see what is important to you at the current game stage.

Rings

You can choose two out of four, they increase your attack against flying or milish monsters, as well as depending on your shooting range.

Animals

There are also four of them - bat (wall piercing), elf (single attack), ghost (splash attack) and mage (piercing spells). In short, the elf is the worst option.

Chests

There are 2 kinds of chests. A gold chest costs 60 crystals and gives an ordinary or good item. Obsidian chest costs 300 crystals and gives a good, rare or epic item. If you buy an obsidian chest, the next one will be sold at a discount of 60 crystals - therefore 3 chests will cost 840 crystals, the price will not drop below that.

Skills

At certain times, you'll be offered the opportunity to choose from a number of skills to help you progress through dungeons. Here's the Archero Skills Dash List (and not only that, it's the coolest dash list on the internet): archero abilities heroes Speaking of which, they added a bunch of new characters to the game. Meowgik is the best character, because he can be bought with stones, but Sylvan is available for real money. The second coolest is Helix, because he can also be bought with in-game currency - and he's also a tank, which is nice. That's all for now, but the guide is in constant update.
