Scions of Fate - Bowman Guide -------1 （Intro to Bowmen/ Abilities）

Intro to Bowmen -------------------- The bowman is the ranged class of Scions of Fate (SoF) , and im my opinion, the most fun to play. Generally speaking,bowmen have low HP, low defense, high attack, and a fairly good dodge rate. The SoF website says (bad translations and all ):
Quote:
"The Bowman primarily uses ranged attacks to take down an enemy from afar. This is because of his low defense and high offense."Okay, so that wasn't bad English. By primarily uses ranged attacks, they mean always uses, unless you want to die. So that's pretty much the basic concept of the bowmen (also called archer) class, not too hard to understand I hope. Abilities ---------- So there is always a fuss about which abilities to get and when. This is my take on the idea. Also, keep in mind that this guide only goes through level 35, but I'll try to give you a short look into what to do after 2nd promo. So, as I was saying, there is a lot of debate about which skills to get when, so I'll give a few different views on the matter. Ability Build 1: Levels 1-21: Eagle's Flight Levels 22-42: Improved Bowstring After: Some Buddha's Blessing and probably Hawk's Eye Ability Build 2: Levels 1-21: Improved Bowstring Levels 22-42: Eagle's Flight After: Some Buddha's Blessing and probably Hawk's Eye Ability Build 3: Levels 1-21: Improved Bowstring Levels 22-32 or so: Buddha's Blessing After: Eagle's Flight, then probably Hawk's Eye Ability Build 4: Levels 1-21: Eagle's Flight Levels 22-32 or so: Buddha's Blessing After: Improved Bowstring, then probably Hawk's Eye Other builds include getting Buddha's Blessing earlier, or not at all, or any other combinations of what's listed above. Personally, I like number 1 the best (it's what I've been doing with my archer), and I guess 4 after 1. 2 is okay, but I don't think you'll get enough range to train fast enough. Honestly, 3 just kinda sucks, but some people like it, so who knows. At later levels, I've heard it's good to get the crit skills and the Aerial Harmony because you get the ability to shoot 3 arrows, and if they crit you deal more damage than any skill, and it uses no chi I'm pretty sure.
