Archero General FAQs

I am stuck on this chapter for ages. How do I beat this chapter?

There's some chapter considered as bottlenecks chapter. These chapter will have a new difficulties. It requires player to upgrade their equipment, hone their skills and learn the monster pattern in order to pass, or get lucky.

Gold Chest or Obsidian Chest is better?

Realistically, neither as buying from Vender is better in most cases but since update 1.3 Obsidian has a bonus effect of 1 epic garentteed per 10 chests, making both chests about the same value if not Gold slightly lower. For the exact odds of each drop check here

Chapter 7 is ridiculous. It's impossible to pass without skipping boss.

Due to the limitation of abilities and dramatic change of battle style whereby player have to face a difficult boss with subordinates every single floor, it gave the impression that this chapter is seriously unbalance. Although there are certain boss which their difficulty level is far superior than the others, every boss can be defeated with an Epic max level equipment. It's a matter of testing your endurance and focus whether you have mastered the boss pattern and able to apply effectively for a continuously 10 stages. Most players will give in to shortcuts such as skipping boss, paying sum of money for upgrades, or even use cheats. With the impression of this particular chapter is an unfair chapter whereby once passing chapter 7, the coming chapter will be easier again.
Feedback from those who stuck at chapter 8 stated that chapter 8 is even harder, without properly honing your skills and equipment at chapter 7, going for shortcuts it will only make you stuck at chapter 8 for a even longer period of time. There are players and FTP players beating this chapter fair and square. Don't give up hopes.

Which weapon is the best?

Staff is rated as the best weapon followed by Spear, Scythe, etc.

Each weapon works differently. It depends on the player play style and preferences. On epic level, each weapon also have their very own status boost. There's no absolute answer on which is far superior.

Here's their pros and cons:

Brave Bow: Balanced in attack speed, projectile speed, and damage. Downside it's dull and seemingly average compared to other weapons.
Death Scythe: High damage and strong knockbacks. Downside it's very slow in attack speed and projectile speed.
Saw Blade: Fastest attack speed and projectile speed. Downside it's seem to be weak in damage.
Tornado: Contains pierce ability and its own bounce ability can damage monster twice. Downside it's tends to block view on enemy incoming projectile when you have too many projectile covering the screen.
Staff: does 3-5x damage with diagonal, fast and easy to use, shots home in so they rarely miss. However, there is a delay before the shots start moving toward the target, which gives enemies more time to shoot back or disappear behind cover.
Spear: fastest weapon in the game
Gale Force: High damage, extra damage when charged up. Low attack speed.
Demon Blade: High damage, extra effectiveness at melee range, many useful abilities unlocked at higher rarity levels (automatic healing when at low health, improved dodge while moving, improved critical at low health). Less useful at Common rarity.

Which armor is the best?

Vest of Dexterity for its 7% dodge chance. Some people prefer Phantom Cloak for the freeze though.
It depends on what your weakness is and pick the armor to cover that weakness. Whether you are weaker against melee enemies, or range enemies. Or you prefer to put your life in gamble on dodge chance.

Which pet is the best?

The best pet is Laser eye. It shoot projectiles that instantly reach enemies, piercing any obstacles in its way.
At chapter 8 onwards, there's many wall obstacles that render Scythe and Elf projectile useless. While Ghost bomb can still hover the wall, it's projectile speed is slow for the fast moving enemies.

Which Accessories is the best?

Ring: Since enemies projectile is harder to dodge. Most players will vote for Serpent ring for it's dodge chances and extra damage against ranged units.
Bracelet: Freeze or Thunder
Locket: Agile or Angel

Which chapter is best for farming?

The best for farming exp is the highest chapter you can enter
The best for items is 3, 6, or 10. Higher gives more exp/gold, lower is quicker but all should give about the same and all are much easier/better then the others.
Events can be good for farming Gold and Sapphires
