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 Ranger Build

This build focuses on Attack Speed to allow consistent use of Rapid Fire. You can replace Scatter Shot with Arrow Rain if you prefer, but we prefer Scatter Shot due to its lower Cooldown.

Skill Point Priority

• Rapid Fire 1/5
• Scatter Shot 1/5
• Attack Damage 3/3
• Attack Speed 8/8
• Rapid Fire 5/5
• Scatter Shot 4/5

Level 30 Ranger Build

Expands upon the level 20 build with Projectile Damage for more DPS.

Skill Point Priority

• Rapid Fire 1/5
• Scatter Shot 1/5
• Attack Damage 3/3
• Attack Speed 8/8
• Rapid Fire 5/5
• Scatter Shot 4/5

Level 35 Ranger Build

Once you reach level 31, drop Scatter Shot/Arrow Rain for Piercing Arrow. Since we'll need to make up four Skill Points from Scatter Shot (up until level 20), you can replace them with Critical Chance.

Skill Point Priority

• Rapid Fire 1/5
• Attack Damage 3/3
• Attack Speed 8/8
• Rapid Fire 5/5

Level 50 Ranger Build

Beyond this point continue to level up Movement Speed, then you can go back and start filling in the older Crit nodes (the Tier 2 Upgrades).

You can skip the defensive options like Dodge Chance and Life Leech, as you will almost certainly have another Hero tanking everything on the frontline.

Skill Point Priority

• Rapid Fire 1/5
• Attack Damage 3/3
• Attack Speed 8/8
• Rapid Fire 5/5
• Critical Chance 4/8
