Net ShotNet Shot: Great for controlling mobs, rooting them for a few seconds while you deal damage. Use it against single targets or to pin down one mob away from you so you have an easier time landing Arrow RainArrow Rain.

Arrow RainArrow Rain: Your core damage skill, use it on cooldown for strong AOE damage. It becomes even more powerful with Dual CapacityDual Capacity, which grants an extra charge, significantly boosting burst potential and making it easier to clear groups of mobs. Acidic BarrageAcidic Barrage is also good for silencing enemies.

Barrage StanceBarrage Stance: Offers two modes: Normal Stance, which pierces some enemy armor, and Barrage Stance, which fires extra arrows at the cost of mana. Activate Barrage Stance at the start of a pull, then switch back to Normal Stance when only one target remains.

SaltationSaltation: A straightforward but powerful AOE attack that also disarms enemies. It makes you leap backwards on cast, which is excellent for repositioning or escaping danger.

Harpoon ArrowsHarpoon Arrows: The Ranger’s special ability causes auto-attacks to lodge arrows in enemies while increasing attack speed. Casting this skill consumes those arrows to unleash bonus damage.

Mana BoostMana Boost: This is very important for leveling and maintaining your mana. Use it whenever it’s ready, especially when you’re low on mana. If you manage your mana carefully, you can rely on this alone and skip using any consumables while leveling for a long time.

CleanseCleanse: Great for clearing debuffs, perfect in many situations.
