1. Intro
- This video covers Archer, following Saber.
- Animation spoilers ahead!
2. Archer Build
- Explanation based on E0 (no Eidolons).
- High-speed Sparkle setup allows for low-speed Archer.
- Generally, a speed of 134 is recommended.
- Signature Light Cone is the best, but alternative Light Cones can be used (Simulation Light Cone, etc.).
- It is recommended to unlock all Traces if possible.
- Quantum set is the best for high potential, use Scholar set if not available.
- Ornaments: 'Space Sealing Station' is recommended since he is a character that mainly uses battle skills.
- Body: Crit Rate, Feet: Speed or ATK, Planar Sphere: Quantum DMG & ATK recommended.
3. Archer Eidolons
- Eidolons are not recommended, E0 is sufficient.
- If you love the character, E1 is recommended (easier SP management).
- E2 grants Quantum attribute, E4 increases Ultimate DMG, Full Eidolon restores Battle Skill Points and enhances Battle Skill.
4. Archer Team Comp
- Works best with Sparkle.
- Good combo with Seele as well (single target).
- If Sparkle is not available, use characters that can help Archer (Bronya, Sunday, etc.).
- Among Preservation/Abundance characters, recommend characters that generate SP well (Gallagher, Fu Xuan, Aventurine, etc.)
5. Archer Traces
- Bonus Ability: Increases Crit DMG when Battle Skill Points are 4 or more, gains 1 point of charge upon entering battle, increases maximum Battle Skill Points in the field.
- Side Nodes: ATK, Crit, Quantum DMG increase.
6. Archer Gameplay
- Be careful when entering battle using Technique.
- Starts battle with charge.
- Archer uses all Battle Skills in auto-battle, so manual control is recommended for efficient operation (especially when combined with Seele).
- Press at the right timing when using Ultimate to increase damage.
- SP management is important, so the SP generation ability of party members is important.
- Crit Rate increases when using Sparkle's signature Light Cone and Fu Xuan's Matrix of Prescience.
7. Conclusion
- No need to over-invest if you are not a Fate fan.
- If you already have high Eidolon Quantum DPS like Kafka, don't invest heavily in Archer.
- Recommended to enjoy playing with the distributed character.
