Explore Hunter's upgrades, skills, and their effects in the sections below.

Here we'll showcase a handful of recommended builds to help guide you during the early to mid game. Specific stats and items aren't required, making them a solid entry point to jump into.

If you're just starting out and haven't unlocked the second Skill Slot yet, simply skip to the next priority node in the meantime.

Level 20 Hunter Build

This build focuses on Explosive Bolt and Quick Loader, helping to make up for the Hunter's naturally slower Attack Speed. She fills the role of a secondary DPS, acting like a utility-based variant of Ranger.

While the Crit nodes may look appealing, generally speaking, in Task Bar Hero it's more efficient to focus on raw Damage and Attack Speed. Although this may change with more dedicated gear.

Skill Point Priority

• Explosive Bolt 1/5
• Attack Damage 3/3
• Explosive Bolt 5/5
• Critical Chance 2/8
• Quick Loader 5/5
• Critical Chance 7/8

Level 30 Hunter Build

Reaching this point allows you to invest in Fire Damage for more potent Explosive Bolts.

Skill Point Priority

• Explosive Bolt 1/5
• Attack Damage 3/3
• Explosive Bolt 5/5
• Critical Chance 2/8
• Quick Loader 5/5
• Critical Chance 7/8
• Fire Damage 10/10

Level 40 Hunter Build

There aren't any relevant new nodes at level 40, so this is a good opportunity to stack some Crit Chance and Crit Damage. The one point in Cooldown Reduction is generally irrelevant, but this is necessary to meet minimums and advance to the next tier of upgrades.

Skill Point Priority

• Explosive Bolt 1/5
• Attack Damage 3/3
• Explosive Bolt 5/5
• Critical Chance 2/8
• Quick Loader 5/5
• Critical Chance 7/8
• Fire Damage 10/10
• Critical Chance 8/8
• Critical Damage 8/8
• Cooldown Reduction 1/10

Level 50 Hunter Build

Finally, we get a nice boost in Physical Damage to improve the Ranger's overall DPS. Beyond that, focus on picking up all the offensive nodes like Attack Damage, Attack Speed, Critical Chance, and Critical Damage. Area of Effect is also nice for Explosive Bolt.

You can also try and experiment with the other skills, although there doesn't appear to be a solidified end game setup yet. The main problem lies with her slow Attack Speed.

Perhaps a Cooldown-based build could work, but as it currently stands, it's hard to match the impressive clear times of Ranger and Sorcerer.

Skill Point Priority

• Explosive Bolt 1/5
• Attack Damage 3/3
• Explosive Bolt 5/5
• Critical Chance 2/8
• Quick Loader 5/5
• Critical Chance 7/8
• Fire Damage 10/10
• Critical Chance 8/8
• Critical Damage 8/8
• Cooldown Reduction 1/10
• Physical Damage 10/10
