Overview

The Blackarrow is a Mistfall Hunter class that specializes in dealing critical damage, picking off enemies, and making sure your targets never come close.

The class is very strong at controlling space in PVPVE, making it a good class to have on any team.

The zone control comes from his ability to place traps or keep targets at bay with his ranged attacks.

Abilities

Hunter's Arrows and Archer's Arrows

By default, you will only have the Archer arrows unlocked. These are special arrows that each have 3 charges, costing 1 charge and stamina to shoot. The Archer arrows focus on Heavy damage with charged shots, mobility, and burst damage. Meanwhile, the Hunter arrows focus on status effects like bleeds, poison, staggers, and stuns.

Barbed Arrow

When you shoot players, if they dodge roll, they take damage up to a limited number of times. If you shoot a monster, they continuously take damage for a time. If you shoot terrain, you create a trap that applies the corresponding debuff to the corresponding enemy.

Concussive Arrow

An arrow that deals damage and staggers enemies. If fully drawn, it also knocks back any enemies caught in the air waves.

Lightning Arrow

Shoots a lightning arrow that chains to nearby enemies. It can only chain to each enemy once, and deals reduced damage with each chain. If shot at terrain, it still chains to nearby enemies but with reduced damage.

Sonic Arrow

Shoot an arrow that exposes any enemy in the vicinity. Exposed makes them take extra damage.

Spore Arrow

Shoots an arrow that plants a mushroom when hitting terrain. Enemies near it will take continuous damage. Can be destroyed by enemies or after a certain time has passed.

Bloodfly Arrow

Shoots an arrow covered with Bloodflies, which, when hitting an enemy, will deal continuous damage with a portion of it being true damage. If shot at terrain, the flies will seek out the nearest enemy and deal reduced damage.

Paralysis Arrow

Shoots an arrow that covers the area around the impact in a mist, which applies the exhausted status effect to enemies.

Steel Arrow

Shoots a steel arrow that pierces 1 enemy.

Splatter Arrow

A Variant of the default Steel Arrow that splatters on hit. The blood splatters deal reduced damage compared to the direct hit. Has no cooldown or cost.

Featherlight Arrow

A Variant of the default Steel Arrow that is faster and unaffected by gravity, firing in a straight line. Has no cooldown or cost.

Scattershot

Shoots arrows in an arc in front of you. Great for getting enemies off you, but it deals terrible damage, so use it defensively.

Impact Grenade

Allows you to hold and aim an impact grenade, which detonates after a short delay. This grenade can stick to opponents and knocks anybody near it down.

Rapid Arrows

After using the ability, you enter a volley stance, allowing you to shoot 5 arrows in quick succession. You have no movement penalty while using this ability, but dodge rolling cancels the ability.

Predator's Senses

After activating the ability, you sniff out nearby enemy players at set intervals. If a player appears in range, a trail will appear that leads you towards them. The closer you are to the player, the more blood colored the trail becomes. Has limited uses each match.

Frostblight Bomb

Allows you to hold and aim a Frostblight Bomb that freezes enemies after a short delay.

Shadow Step

Allows you to enter stealth. After exiting stealth, you can quickly charge arrows and re-enter stealth. You can do this up to 3 times.

How to Build

Talents

There are a ton of options when it comes to how to build the Blackarrow, so instead of going in depth on everything, I'm gonna mark some talents that can be very good all around.

Measured Pace

When carrying at least 2 archer arrows, fully drawing and immediately firing normal arrows recharges energy.

Great for sustaining your energy, which can get low while firing special arrows.

Lasting Pain

After hitting an enemy with a shot, it increases the duration of all debuffs on that enemy.

A must-have for debuff-oriented builds.

Focus Fire

Rapid Arrows increases the damage multiplier with each consecutive hit on the same enemy.

All around great if you use Rapid Arrows.

Persuer

After hitting an enemy with a shot, increase your movement speed for a duration.

Probably the best talent you can take since it gives you the most important stat for a ranged character, mobility.

Colossal Power

Increases the charge speed of shots.

Insane improvement especially for PVP

Full Draw

Increases the damage of fully drawn shots.

Another huge improvement; this is strong for both PVP and PVE

Gear Affix Recommendations

  • Defense Penetration: Increases defense penetration
  • Ranged: If the distance between you and the target is X amount of meters, temporarily increase your damage
  • Headshot Damage: Increases your headshot damage
  • Focused: Increases your charging speed; at a certain level, increases your movement speed while charging as well
  • Powerful: Increases your physical damage
  • Swift: Increases your movement speed while crouching, silent-walking, aiming, and chanting

Tips and Tricks

Keep your distance

You are a ranged class and are very vulnerable when up close with an enemy. So instead, scout out an area before going in to avoid getting caught between multiple enemies.

Use a keyboard and mouse

With most characters in this game, going with a controller is a no-brainer, but for this class specifically, go with mouse and keyboard. It makes aiming and hitting headshots much easier.

Go for headshots

The Blackarrow is by far the best class for hitting weak spots, so exploit that by locking onto that skull and shooting until it dies. By hitting headshots, you also stagger enemies faster.

Don't sit on your cooldowns.

Blackarrows' cooldowns are very forgivable and not long at all, so use them whenever you are fighting cause you will have the abilities back up before your next fight.

Lock a boss/elite area down before fighting it

This game is ofc a PVPVE game, meaning other players can both steal your kills and your loot. Blackarrow is great at shutting this down by placing down traps that can both alarm you and hinder the enemy.
