Description:
The Archer starts off as one of the most powerful characters because the bows are the strongest single target weapons in the game. They have a large amount of dex which easily allows for multiple hits and high damage despite having low str. The unfortunate downside is that most of their starts are remarkably average. There isn't anything extraordinary except for maybe dex if you count that. Silence is useful in part of a strategy to deny heals or skill usage to your opponent. Multi Arrow hits a cross formation and is very powerful at high levels. The only problem is that there are better choices such as the Spartan for this.

Deep Insight
Deadly Shot
Description:
The Artilleryman is almost standard for stun builds. The cannon hits all adjacent ground targets with each attack. The only downside is that it has low stats. Deep Insight is very useful at high levels. When maxed out, it can reduce the defense of the entire atlantica gold enemy party by over 1200 allowing you to deal heavy damage. Some area skill spamming builds rely on this defense down to finish the enemy after the area skills have weakened them off.

Skills:
Beast Summon
Description:
A Beast Trainer is a very good tank. It has good defense, HP and high damage. It is lacking in the magic defense department, but the Beast Summon skill makes it worth it. It deals damage to all targets and can be used quite frequently. The power can also be boosted by equipping different summon items into the off hand slot. It is important to area damage builds but not as useful for others. The problem with this though is that if you use summon items, you can't use guardian stones.
