Sharpshooter

Only Lance and Phyllis can become Sharpshooters.

Sharpshooter — one of the six main classes in the game. Only Lance and Phyllis can become Sharpshooters. A Sharpshooter deals mostly physical damage from ranged attacks and long-range skills. Depending on gear and build, an SS can be either a pure DPS or a support for their guild. Can wield both a musket (gun) and a bow.

Sharpshooter Pros & Cons

Pros:

+ Highest damage in the game with a bow — and even higher with a gun.

+ Fastest farming class in the game.

+ Longest attack range and the highest movement speed among all classes.

+ Bow SS can deal damage from very long range, while gun SS has strong control: it can seal/lock down an enemy and weaken them, making it invaluable on bosses and in PvP even with weak gear.

+ Sharpshooter gear and gems are usually not very expensive. Even with mid-tier gear, SS becomes very strong for farming, leveling, and PvP.

Cons:

- Lowest HP and Defense growth among all classes.

- Due to low survivability and lack of defensive skills, SS relies mostly on movement speed and careful play.

Leveling

You can reach level 75 through the storyline questline. Grinding mobs to 75 is much slower compared to finishing the ~3-hour story line, which teaches mechanics and introduces NPCs tied to daily quests and life skills. From 75 to 80 you must level on Dragon Island or in the Mirage (EXP is gained only in these locations).

What Stats to Build

Classic Sharpshooter

The main stat for Sharpshooter is Accuracy — you should max it to 100. As Accuracy increases, your Attack increases as well. After Accuracy, invest into either Agility or Constitution.

- Agility increases Attack Speed and DPS — useful in PvP, farming, and leveling. - Constitution slightly increases survivability — useful in PvP.

If you need to reset stat points, you can buy stat reset potions in the Item Mall.

Skill order depends on what your SS uses more: musket or bow. At higher levels you have enough skill points to upgrade both musket and bow skills. Since after level 40 muskets are much easier to obtain than bows, new players are recommended to focus on musket skills first.

Pure CON Sharpshooter

An alternative build is a “pure CON SS” — a Sharpshooter who primarily invests into Constitution. This build has high HP and Defense, but very low damage versus players and bosses. Because of that, pure CON SS cannot level or farm solo, and does poor damage in PvP. This is a very situational build mainly used to support the guild: sealing bosses and enemy players in PvP.

Sharpshooter Gear

Core Gear

While completing the storyline, you will craft your own equipment via life skills. You receive Ancil gear (armor and weapon) that you will upgrade throughout the whole game.

Additional items & tips:

ItemTip
Fairy Companion 2 genFairy Companion 2 genFairy is your main stat source. For Sharpshooter it’s Accuracy. Level it first — with Possession active, stats are x2.
Riding mountRiding mountLevel when possible. Move Speed is the #1 stat for Sharpshooter.
Regular Hand PetRegular Hand Pet or Rare Hand PetRare Hand PetIf possible, great convenience. A rare pet gives % stats. Best pick: +3% Attack.

Consumables

Consumables can boost your damage/survivability by up to ~50%. Don’t ignore them in PvP (and sometimes during farming):

Skill Leveling Tips

Skill leveling up to Lv40

Up to Lv39 (29 skill points), your character automatically levels the required “path” skills:

  • s0074 Shooting Mastery — Lv3
  • s0075 Path of Wind — Lv4
  • s0090 Double Shot — Lv2
  • s0093 Ice Arrow — Lv5
  • s0223 Inspiration — Lv1
  • s0112 Meteor Shower — Lv1
  • s0078 Firearm Mastery — Lv1
  • s0094 Crippling Shot — Lv1
  • s0042 Weaken — Lv1
  • s0113 Magma Bullet — Lv1
  • s0096 Headshot — Lv1

Skill leveling at Lv75+

At Lv75 you have 48 skill points. Your build depends on your main weapon: Bow or Gun (Musket).

Bow build:

  • s0074 Shooting Mastery — Lv3
  • +6 points: s0075 Path of Wind — Lv10
  • +8 points: s0090 Double Shot — Lv10
  • +5 points: s0093 Ice Arrow — Lv10
  • +9 points: s0223 Inspiration — Lv10
  • s0112 Meteor Shower — Lv1
  • s0078 Firearm Mastery — Lv1
  • s0094 Crippling Shot — Lv1
  • s0042 Weaken — Lv1
  • s0113 Magma Bullet — Lv1
  • s0096 Headshot — Lv1

You’ll have 20 points left for s0094 and s0042 (useful if you weapon swap). Don’t forget +10 extra skill points if your character reaches Lv80.

Gun (Musket) build:

  • s0074 Shooting Mastery — Lv3
  • +6 points: s0075 Path of Wind — Lv4
  • s0090 Double Shot — Lv2
  • s0093 Ice Arrow — Lv5
  • +9 points: s0223 Inspiration — Lv10
  • s0112 Meteor Shower — Lv1
  • +9 points: s0078 Firearm Mastery — Lv10
  • +9 points: s0094 Crippling Shot — Lv10
  • +9 points: s0042 Weaken — Lv10
  • s0113 Magma Bullet — Lv1
  • s0096 Headshot — Lv1

You’ll have 4 points left for s0113 or s0096. Don’t forget +10 extra skill points at Lv80 — then you can max s0090 and s0093 for extra damage/control.

Class Gameplay

Sharpshooter is very afraid of “burst damage” from other classes due to low HP, so you must play carefully:

  • Endgame SS in Snow War and Chaos usually means constant weapon swapping (bow ↔ gun) via the skill bar. So even a bow build should still have s0094 and s0042 at Lv10.
  • Mistakes are not forgiven.
  • Don’t forget about s0112 if you play bow.
  • A clean combo with q0033 + f1136 can let you delete someone fast with s0090 + s0112.
  • Always keep your attack radius as far from the enemy as possible. Your advantage is range — use it and pump tons of physical damage when you’re safe.
  • It’s relatively hard to play in small raid groups — you can get jumped and focused at any moment. SS shines the most in big raids.
  • Players often meme others for weak forge and bow play. Sometimes it’s worth listening: if your GS is low compared to other DPS, the best team (guild) play can be running Gun with maxed s0094 and s0042 to help stronger players secure kills — do this until your own kills outweigh the gun’s utility.
  • Using Flash Bomb Lv1Flash Bomb Lv1 on yourself (outside Chaos and Snow War) can be a mistake. Pre-using it for a setup can be good.
