The Relentless Deadeye
The most precise member in any squadron, the Sniper does not stop until their target has stopped breathing. Their skillset guarantees they will hit their mark, and will keep on hitting it hard where it hurts, until it's dead. The truest single target menace around.
When precision matters above all else, the Sniper delivers. Masters of ranged combat, they combine devastating accuracy with specialized ammunition to dismantle high-priority targets with surgical efficiency. Their Sniper's Mark mechanic allows them to lock onto enemies, building stacks that culminate in a guaranteed-hit Headshot that rarely leaves survivors. While other classes spread their damage across the battlefield, the Sniper focuses everything on eliminating one threat at a time.
Unlock
Sniper is a tier 3 class that is unlocked by leveling the Archer class to level 40. As all T3 classes, it retains all of the previous T2 and T1 classes' skills.
Pros and Cons
Comparisons are made considering classes from the same tier
Snipers excel at eliminating high-value targets through sustained single-target damage. Their Sniper's Mark passive stacks on basic attacks, and once 6 stacks are reached, Headshot becomes an unmissable critical strike. Combined with Fatal Sharpshooting, which can triple critical hit damage, Snipers can delete bosses and elites faster than any other ranged class.
The three Tip skills ( Piercing Tips, Razor Tips, Power Tips) provide tactical flexibility, allowing the Sniper to adapt to different enemy types. Eagle Eyes converts excess Hit into raw P.Atk, rewarding accuracy-focused builds with even more damage.
- Strengths:
- Unrivaled single-target damage output
- Guaranteed hits with fully stacked Sniper's Mark
- Flexible ammunition types for different situations
- Strong party support with Marksman's Coordination
- Converts accuracy into damage through Eagle Eyes
- Weaknesses:
- Limited AoE capabilities
- Requires ramp-up time to stack Sniper's Mark
- Struggles against multiple weak enemies
- Dependent on maintaining distance from threats
Stats
Snipers benefit most from DEX for accuracy and C.Atk, STR for raw damage, and AGI for critical chance and speed.
DEX is paramount - it feeds directly into Hit, which Eagle Eyes converts to P.Atk and also increases C.Atk, drastically increasing crit damage. However, STR still outscales DEX for gathering P.Atk because of the bonus amounts, while AGI synergizes with the crit-focused playstyle.
VIT offers some survivability but Snipers should rely on positioning. WIS helps with MP sustain for skills, but Snipers auto attack a lot, so they recover a lot of MP anyways.

Recommended Builds
- For maximum single-target damage:
Stack DEX until you never miss, then pour everything into STR. The excess Hit from DEX converts to P.Atk via Eagle Eyes, making accuracy investment doubly valuable.
- For a crit-focused build:
Balance DEX and AGI, and get a decent amount of STR for the multiplicative effect with C.Atk. Combine high C.Atk with Headshot guaranteed critical strikes for devastating damage.
- For a basic attack build:
Get very high AGI and use Speed equipment. Dole out the rest to STR for raw damage and some DEX for accuracy. Fatal Sharpshooting will proc a lot more often with more attacks.
Gear
Recommended gear for Snipers
- Weapons
- Bows: Standard choice offering balanced stats and consistent DPS
- Crossbows: Higher burst damage per shot, excellent for Headshot and Fatal Sharpshooting builds that capitalize on single powerful strikes due to high P.Atk and C.Atk
- Armor
- Light Armor: Provides MP regeneration and M.Def, but the Sniper does not use too much MP
- Medium Armor: Most efficient option, specially the Speed providing line. Mix with the Evasion line if you need more survivability
- Heavy Armor: In case teleporting enemies or other ranged characters are hitting the Sniper, 1 or 2 pieces can be useful
- Accessories
- DEX and Hit accessories maximize Eagle Eyes conversion
- C.Chance and C.Atk accessories synergize with Fatal Sharpshooting
- STR accessories for raw damage output

Ideas and Suggestions
These are all suggestions, you can't have 1 script which is perfect for every hunt, gear or playstyle
- Focus on building Sniper's Mark stacks on high-priority targets before using Headshot
- Choose your Tip skill based on the enemy: Piercing Tips for high defense, Razor Tips for fights against healers with bleeding, Power Tips to provide P.Atk for low STR builds
- Marksman's Coordination benefits the whole party - keep it active
- Position in the backline to maximize safety and take advantage of your 5-cell range
- Against bosses, prioritize basic attacks to stack Sniper's Mark quickly, then unleash Headshot for massive damage
