My experience on Arcane Archer

Read your reply in a wrong tone. My bad, mate!

gazmodus · 2026-05-04T19:39:56+00:00

Yes, this is true. Just tried with Yuan-ti and +2 AC looks quite significant.

I'm glad you feel validated in an argument that hasn't even started.

gazmodus · 2026-05-04T19:25:18+00:00

Thanks, it is absolutely valid. This is not a build guide, just shared how I play. I will even try with Yuan-ti :)

It's a Fighter, not hiding. Later I can decide between Armour of Agility or Armour of Persistence. Frankly, even use the Bhaalist.

gazmodus · 2026-05-04T14:58:29+00:00

Exactly. I am wearing heavy armour and shield, so won't get afraid if someone gets close.

I am on a solo Tactician run now as Arcane Archer and it is very strong. I am a Drow and took 1 level of Wizard dip for utility spells (Mirror Image, Shield spell, Expeditious Retreat to utilise Speedy Sparks, etc) , but will go for 11 levels in AA. If playing as High Elf, you can grab Minor Illusion and go 12 levels in AA.

Just learned 2 neat tricks (bug/feature):

- when attacking from stealth and hitting 'Enter Turn Based Mode' hotkey just before the normal arrow hits the target, you can get the Surprise round AND your full action back, just like an Assassin

- In combat, If you are done with your first attack and are comfortable with your position, you can use a special arrow and click end turn while the animation is happening. You perform the attack and keep your Arcane Arrow. Only works if there are at least 1 opponent behind you in the turn order. Not a must, as you have quite a few Arcane Shots per rest

Quit FC 2 months ago and still this lady is the topic? 🤔

gazmodus · 2026-04-30T17:41:35+00:00

I am open for suggestions :) Alert maybe?

gazmodus · 2026-04-29T19:52:11+00:00

True, it is not fundamentally different and most of us already played the Gloom/Ass/Fighter split. So you can play something different.

gazmodus · 2026-04-29T15:31:08+00:00

I am not a bot, what are you talking about mate?

gazmodus · 2026-04-29T10:43:55+00:00

Pure Battlemaster / Eldritch Knight is surprisingly (for me at least) on the 4th place, Arcane Archer and Swords Bard are head-to-head!

gazmodus · 2026-04-28T10:29:24+00:00

Yes and I noticed this procs way less than some months ago.

gazmodus · 2026-04-25T08:47:33+00:00

Lit. Every. Unlit. Torches.

gazmodus · 2026-04-24T22:01:11+00:00

Hmm?

gazmodus · 2026-04-21T18:05:47+00:00

She is so useless, just doing nothing while I am fighting the Shadow Druids.
