Aion 2 Archer, Actual Performance Analyzed with a Damage Meter and Optimal Skill Tree RevealedAttention Aion 2 Archer users! After the March 25th patch, we conducted an in-depth analysis using a damage meter to confirm the Archer's true performance. We experimented with various skill combinations, traits, and even summons to find the most efficient damage cycle and skill tree. Check your Archer's setup right now!
1. 🎮 Archer Skill Damage Comparison and Support Fire Trait Analysis
· We measured the actual damage of Archer skills using a damage meter.
· Comparing the 'Snipe + Rapid Fire' combination with the 'Snipe + Support Fire' combination, the combination including 'Support Fire' showed a significant damage difference of over 10K.
· Experimenting with the efficiency of 'Support Fire''s 4th trait, 'Guaranteed Critical Hit', we concluded that there's no need to invest 40 Stigma Shards in PvE, except against opponents with high critical resistance in PvP.

3. 🎯 Aimed Shot Usage: Full Charge vs. Instant Cast
· We compared whether full charging or instant casting ('click') of the 'Aimed Shot' skill yields higher damage.
· Instant casting recorded 119.8K DPS, while full charging showed higher damage.
· In conclusion, using 'Aimed Shot' with full charge is more advantageous for damage efficiency.
· Instant casting recorded 119.8K DPS, while full charging showed higher damage.
· In conclusion, using 'Aimed Shot' with full charge is more advantageous for damage efficiency.

4. ⚔️ Various Skill Combo Damage Analysis
· We measured damage and analyzed efficiency using various skill combinations.
· The 'Suppression' skill has a long animation, causing damage loss, so excluding 'Suppression' from a full skill combo helps increase damage.
· The 'Target, Gale, Aimed Shot, Spike' combination showed lower damage than expected and is not recommended.
· Using only 'Rapid Fire + Snipe' also resulted in significantly lower damage than a full skill combo.
· The 'Suppression' skill has a long animation, causing damage loss, so excluding 'Suppression' from a full skill combo helps increase damage.
· The 'Target, Gale, Aimed Shot, Spike' combination showed lower damage than expected and is not recommended.
· Using only 'Rapid Fire + Snipe' also resulted in significantly lower damage than a full skill combo.
| Skill Combination | Average DPS (K) |
|---|---|
| Full Skill Combo | 140.33 |
| Full Skill Combo - Suppression | 148.00 |
| Target, Gale, Aimed Shot, Spike | 138.00 |
| Full Skill Combo - Suppression - Spike + Rupture | 142.00 |
| Rapid Fire + Snipe | 109.00 ~ 118.00 |
