In this article, we'll delve deep into the optimal setup for Archers and share tips for mastering this ranged character. Let’s take aim!

Overview of the Archer Class in Hypixel Skyblock


Archer is designed for Dungeons, but a lot of the tactics and equipment choices we'll explore are effective outside of Dungeons too. The key parameters for an Archer are ❁ Strength, ☣ Crit Chance, and ☠ Crit Damage.

Recommended Weapons
Successful Archers often require advanced gear such as high Stone Sword Combat, Slayer, or The Catacombs level. However, there are also budget-friendly options that make Archer viable for players at various game stages.

Recommended Utility Items
Utility items significantly enhance a Dungeon player's experience. Here are some must-haves:

  1. Dungeon Orb - Essential for activating Archer class abilities, which amplifies ❁ Damage. Although it shouldn't be on the hotbar, it must remain in your inventory. Use Drop Stack (Ctrl+Q) for Explosive Shot and Drop (Q) for Rapid Fire.
  2. Superboom TNT - Ideal for demolishing weak walls and discovering secrets. It's usually inexpensive on the Auction House.
  3. Spirit Leap - A lifesaver for quickly accessing different parts of the Dungeon or reaching teammates.
  4. Defuse Kit - Safely navigate and disarm traps in the Dungeon.
  5. Radiant Power Orb, Mana Flux Power Orb, Overflux Power Orb, and Plasmaflux Power Orb - These provide swift healing, with the latter two being pricier but beneficial against Dungeon mini-bosses.
  6. Zombie Swords (all variants) - They grant ❤ Health boosts, and charges regenerate every 15 seconds.
  7. Conjuring - A Superboom TNT alternative, but with an instant explosion.
  8. Aspect of the End/Aspect of the Void - Essential for mobility and speed, particularly crucial for Archers.
  9. Rogue Sword - Bestows a temporary ✦ Speed boost to Archers.

Recommended Pets

  1. Ender Dragon Pet - A superior pet choice, amplifying all stats.
  2. Skeleton Pet - Affordable and vital for an Archer build.
  3. Wither Skeleton Pet - Outstanding for ❁ Damage in Floor VII.
  4. Baby Yeti Pet & Blue Whale Pet - Essential for improving ❤ Effective Health in challenging floors.
  5. Black Cat Pet, Golem Pet, and Lion Pet - Each offers unique advantages, from speed to damage boosts.

Enchantments and Modifiers

  1. Power - A non-negotiable enchantment, increasing ❁ Damage significantly.
  2. Infinite Quiver - Prevents arrow consumption upon shooting.
  3. Overload - Enhances ☣ Crit Chance and ☠ Crit Damage, enabling Mega Critical Hits.
  4. Snipe, Piercing, Punch, Dragon Hunter, Dragon Tracer, Impaling, and Cubism - All cater to specific scenarios and enemies in Dungeons.

For Ultimate Enchants, the best bets are Rend, Soul Eater, and Swarm based on weapon choice and use.

For Reforges, options like Rapid, Unreal, Precise, Spiritual, and Hasty can provide varied benefits. For armor, Ancient is ideal, but Fierce is a viable alternative.

Pro Tips

  • To maximize the Overload enchant, aim for a 200% ☣ Crit Chance inside Dungeons.
  • For Accessory Powers, consider using Strong, Scorching, or Warrior (for early-game).
  • If someone else in your party is an Archer, switch to Berserk to avoid class duplication.

In conclusion, the Archer class in Hypixel Skyblock offers dynamic gameplay with numerous strategic choices. By optimizing your setup and adhering to these recommendations, you'll be well on your way to becoming a master Archer. Ready, set, shoot!
