The Ranger is a curious class in TBH: Task Bar Hero, as it has a high skill cap. You’ll need to get a perfect build with this class to make it effective in Act 3 and beyond. However, it’s also easy to go wrong while building her, and that will create more problems for your team.
Let’s find out the best way to build our archer in TBH: Task Bar Hero.
Best TBH: Task Bar Hero Ranger build
Just like any other class, it’s important to understand the role of the Ranger.
- The Ranger’s primary duty is to dish out as much damage as possible. She will be the main DPS of your team who attacks from the back.
- The Ranger has minimal survivability. While you can make her slightly sustainable with gear items, she can’t take damage for too long. Hence, you’ll need to pair her with allies who can take play as a tank and provide heals (more on this later).
Here are the two best Ranger abilities to use in all scenarios.
- Skewer Shot: While Skewer Shot requires you to reach Level 40, it’s one of the best options against bosses. The arrow remains lodged in the enemy, and raises damage taken by 100%. This effect increases based on the number of lodged arrows. If there are three or more lodged in the enemy, it also triggers bleeding, forcing the enemy to take more damage.
- Arrow Rain: This ability is the best AoE skill to unlock for the Ranger. It fires multiple arrows that deal damage to enemies trapped in the area. It’s not ideal against Stage Bosses, but great at clearing minions. Furthermore, it also serves a complimentary role with Skewer Shot.
Let’s now check out the best passives for Ranger.
- Attack Damage: Buffs all types of attack, so this is a must-have for Ranger.
- Critical Damage: The higher the value, the greater the damage. Get all three upgrades for this passive, as it will significantly raise the DPS.
- Increased Critical Chance Multiplier: This will raise the odds of a hit converting to a critical one. This works well when combined with the Critical Damage passive skill.
- Projectile Damage Enhancement: Raises the damage inflicted by the Ranger’s arrows.
- Life Leech: Once unlocked, this skill will help the Ranger heal herself by draining the health of her enemies. It’s a great passive healing option to have on the side.
For gear, aim at raising her damage as much as possible. For decorations, focus on raising elemental and physical damage to further boost her DPS over time. As for combinations, the Ranger works best with the Knight and the Priest. The Knight will act as the shield of the team, while the Priest will offer the necessary heals that keep everyone alive for a longer time.
