Woodland Archer

Build Overview

A maximum damage bow build focused on devastating ranged combat through the Proud Lance's unique 40% damage increase. This glass cannon approach can one-shot most enemies in early Crucible stages and trivialize content with proper positioning and focus management.

Key Features

  • Proud Lance provides 40% damage increase as the core damage multiplier for this build
  • Lightning Arrow combo with regular shots creates devastating burst damage while maintaining focus through shock status
  • Yew Longbow with multi-shot, knockout shot, and evasive shot provides exceptional versatility
  • Focus regeneration from kills and shock application negates lightning arrow costs for sustained combat


Playstyle

Maximum Damage Strategy: Stay at range and use regular arrow followed immediately by lightning arrow. The combination of focus regained from kills and shock status application completely negates focus costs.

Combat Flow: Pick off enemies from distance, never engage in melee. One-shot smaller enemies through stage 5-6, use arrow combos for larger targets. Charge lightning arrows for extra damage when focus allows.

Positioning Critical: This is a glass cannon build - the smallest missteps can end encounters. Maintain distance and use superior range to avoid damage entirely rather than tanking hits.
