A ranged ranger built on crits and free shots: the longbow carries all three stages, the hatchet joins only in the Endgame.
Rotation
- From Midgame, open with Aimed Shot at Lv. 2 (three Fervor stacks), then Piercing Shot, Deft Hands and Scarlet Arrow (costs HP) – a crit unlocks Fire Arrow.
- Core: Arrow Stab (W + heavy attack), Piercing Shot, Deft Hands, block for Abdominal Kick Combo, Flip Kick – three offensive Maneuvers, 5 Primed each. At 15 Primed, hold heavy attack for Rapid Fire, then Withdrawing Shot, Leaping Shot and, at 8 Kindled Arrow, Fire Arrow.
- Then Rapid Shot three times – with Rapid Shot Mastery III a critical third shot can be used again. Finish with Aimed Shot to renew Fervor, or Focus Fire in the Starter.
- Hit during a Maneuver: block twice for Counterattack Maneuver, a third time for Crescent Kick – Hawk Talon heals.
