Community read

ASolid pickCompetitive and commonly played — a clear role and no serious viability complaints in the current meta.

Reliable sustained ranged damage built on genuine third-person aim — strong in PvE clears and oppressive when it can keep its distance. It loses value once a mobile melee class closes the gap, and it asks for more mechanical precision than the other ranged picks.

Max Health: 618
Max Stamina: 100
Stamina Regen: 10
Critical Increase: 25%

How the Blackarrow compares

Tier list →

The two figures the game varies per class. Crit damage is the bonus damage a critical hit deals before any gear. Armor wear is the multiplier on how fast your armor loses durability when you take a hit — a lower number means gear lasts longer and costs less to keep running, so it is a repair-bill stat, not a damage-reduction one.

Class	Crit damage	Armor wear (PvE)	Armor wear (PvP)
Sorcerer	40%	×2.0625	×3.0525
Mercenary	35%	×1.5125	×2.6125
Shadowstrix	35%	×1.65	×3.0525
Seer	35%	×1.85625	×3.0525
Withered Knight	35%	×1.65	×3.0525
Blackarrow	25%	×2.0625	×3.0525
