Archero: Beginner’s Tips and Guide – Best Basic Skills To Get and Build

Here’s a guide on how to get and build skills in the arcade and action mobile game – Archero. This guide will focus more on the basic skills since they are pretty common than those that can only be unlocked from new Chapters. You can roll and get a random skill every time you level up. To level up, defeat monsters to gather Coins and EXP. After a boss fight, you’ll be given a chance to roll a lucky wheel to get a bonus skill or Coins and more EXP.

   – A good balance between these stats is what you need for your character, adjust according to your current gears’ bonus stats and Talents.

   – These are also pretty common (can also be obtained from the Angel NPC), so use them to your advantage.
   – To check your current skills, just hit the Pause button.

Attack Boost    – Now you can deal higher damage.    – Get at least 2, more if you need to defeat enemies faster.

Attack Speed Boost

   – Now you can attack faster.    – Get at least 1 or 2, more if you need to defeat enemies faster.

Crit Master

   – Critical chance and critical strike damage increased.    – Get at least 1 or 2, also increase your attack speed and number of hits to increase chances.

HP Boost

   – Max HP increased.    – Depends on the difficulty of the stage, adjust according to your current gears’ bonus stats and Talents.    – In case you got a lot of HP Boosts, trade some of your HP to acquire skills from the Devil NPC that randomly pops between stages.
   – Next, increase your fire power and crowd control skills. Follow the Tiers below (note: these are just recommendations based on my experience playing the game).

   – Must have skills, to make things a lot easier!

Front Arrow +1    – Arrow fired forward +1.

Multishot

   – Fires an additional arrow.

Ricochet

   – Your arrows jump between monsters.    – Crowd control skill, and can also knock them all back (delaying their attacks), increasing your survivability. Awesome against stages with more than 1 Boss.

   – Note: Prioritize Stat Boosters over these skills, but get them if you already have a decent stats for the current Chapter, or if there are no better alternative.

Freeze    – Slows enemies down.    – Really helps you land more hits than usual.

Blaze

   – Your attacks inflict Flame effect.

Poisoned Touch

   – Your attacks cause Poison effect.

Rage

   – Your attacks deal more damage at low HP.    – Gives you a chance to defeat bosses at lower HP.

Diagonal Arrows +1

   – Diagonal arrows +1.    – Decent alternative if you don’t have “Ricochet” skill, but works well too with “Ricochet”.    – This skill is really good especially if you can get close enough to a monster to land all arrows! Note that there are monsters that you won’t get damaged even if you are too close.

   – These skills are weak on their own, but great if all required skills are present. Totally luck based so I’ll give them lower ratings.

Piercing Shot    – Your arrows pierce enemies.    – Awesome when paired with “Bouncy Wall” with “Front Arrow” or “Multishot” skill , also a decent skill against grouped enemies.

Bouncy Wall

   – Arrow bounce against walls (bounces 2 times).    – Kinda weak, but if you can get “Piercing Shot”, this skill can give you a lot of damage, especially with “Front Arrow” or “Multishot” skill.

Rear Arrow +1

   – Arrow fired backward +1.    – Only get if you have a “Bouncy Wall” skill, otherwise it’s kinda useless. Smart    – You level up faster now.    – Only get this though during early to mid levels, ineffective if obtained when character’s level is already high or almost at MAX.

Headshot

   – Small chance to kill lesser monsters instantly.    – Great but only works on first hit.

Bolt

   – Your attacks cause Lightning effect.    – Jumps between monsters, ignores obstacles. Decent alternative if you don’t have “Ricochet” skill.

Holy Touch

   – Your attacks cause holy effect.    – Ricochets light bolts from enemies when hit. Decent alternative if you don’t have “Ricochet” skill.
Death Bomb    – Monsters explodes when they die.

Death Nova

   – Enemies explode into a ring of light bolts.

Bolt Circle

   – Two lightning orbs circle around you.    – Ignores obstacles and hits enemies. Attacks even while moving.    – Jumps between monsters.

Fire Circle

   – Two flame orbs circle around you.    – Ignores obstacles and hits enemies. Attacks even while moving.    – Inflicts Flame effect.

Poison Circle

   – Two poisonous orbs circle around you.    – Ignores obstacles and hits enemies. Attacks even while moving.

Ice Circle

   – Two ice orbs circle around you.    – Ignores obstacles and hits enemies. Attacks even while moving.    – Slows enemies down.

Side Arrows +1

   – Fires an arrow on your both sides.    – As much as possible, focus more on fire power but if the situation requires it or if you don’t have better skills from that roll, then get some defense type skills.    – Follow the Tiers below (note: these are just recommendations based on my experience playing the game).

   – Note: Tier 2 Defense Type Skills below are better than getting Tiers 1 to 3 Basic Skills above.

Invincibility Star    – Becomes invincible for 2 sec once a while.    – Every after 10 seconds.

   – Tip: After the barrier disappears, count to 8 or 9 then enter the next stage to get extra protection from 1st wave of monsters.

Shield Guard

   – A shield circles around you.    – Attacks that hits your shield will get nullified.

   – Tip: during Boss fights, move your character to adjust your defense according to the movement of the shield, try to deflect enemy attacks with your shield.

Bloodthirst    – Restores HP when you kill enemies. Strong Heart    – You are healed more HP than before.
   – Every time you complete a Chapter and unlock the new one, you’ll be given a new set of skills (examples: Elemental Swords similar to the basic Elemental Circles, Summons, Buff Skills, Pet Skills, and more).    – Use what you think is best for your skill build above, since these skills are uncommon to get from rolls, especially the useful ones.    – Refer to the “Stats Boosters” section above for similar info.

Attack Boost (Minor)

Attack Speed (Minor)
Crit Master (Minor)

HP Boost: Increase Maximum HP.

Recover: Partially restores your HP (always available).    – Randomly appears after clearing stage (usually after a boss fight).    – Trade some HP (max HP) to acquire a new Skill.

Life +1

   – You gain extra life for your adventure (highly recommended).

Through the Wall

   – You can go through obstacles.

Water Walker

   – You can walk on the Water.
