Enshrouded 1.0 archer build planning

Review bow skills, Eternal arrows and practical ranged loadout checks.

Start with the current skill tree

Puncture, Barrage and Survival Instinct appear in the 1.0 developer overview. The overview leaves some numerical values as placeholders. Use the released in-game values instead of quoting those placeholders as final percentages.

Choose an arrow before comparing damage

The announced Eternal Fire, Shock and Bone arrows add alternatives to the ranged loadout. Check the upgrade and perk information for the arrow you actually own.

Keep the target, distance and arrow type the same when comparing bows. A change of enemy or ammunition can hide the reason one result differs from another.

Make room for a missed shot

Choose a recovery option before a second damage investment. For solo play, test what happens when an enemy reaches you; for co-op, agree on how another player will cover that gap.
