Hi, I'm Nova, a Fletcher-Hackapell on Klaipeda under the name DarkNova, and I propose this build if you're interested in maximizing your damage as an Archer for killing bosses and other tough targets. While this build started off as a logical replacement for Ranger 3-Fletcher builds, Critical Rate is no longer a topic to discuss with certainty. Instead, you will learn the nuances of these class choices, and the reasoning behind some of the decisions, as well. This is not a guide that must be followed; rather, it's a repository of Fletcher knowledge for you who may be interested in the class. Sections 4 through 9 will offer general Fletcher advice. The rest will be more focused on aspects of Fletcher and Hackapell, in varying degrees of specificity; they may not apply to you.

---



This class may or may not be for you. Once you get Magic Arrow you're a formidable opponent against bosses, but on that same note, your DPS will heavily revolve around dropping a Magic Arrow and firing debuffs to boost that sustained DPS. If you don't like being what is essentially a turret in most cases, you may want to look into a more active class. Fletchers are really good at one thing, though: killing stationary targets. Moving ones are slightly harder to deal with but can be dealt accordingly if you predict and know how far they travel on a given attack. This game has fairly easy, recognizable tells for bosses and you can use them to your advantage. If you are good with all of these characteristics in consideration, all the better! Good luck!

Unless otherwise noted, you can refer to the skill build on this page for my recommended distribution.

Archer
Circle 1:
• Oblique Shot (1/5)
• Multishot (1)
• Swift Step (5/5)
Readers' discretion: put points into Full Draw or Oblique Shot, or save for Archer 2.
• Full Draw (1/5)
Circle 2:
• Swift Step (10/10)
• Heavy Shot (1)
Readers' discretion: all other points are for reader to decide.
• Heavy Shot, Kneeling Shot, etc.

1. Multi Shot (1)
Multi Shot no longer scales in hit count with levels; skill investment strictly raises damage. Multi Shot is fine for level 1. It will not be effective for offense past Rank 1.

2. Oblique Shot (4)
You do not have better points to invest. Kneeling Shot is clunky with this build. You can max Full Draw, Swift Step, and Heavy Shot, and still be left 4 points. Oblique Shot's scaling is quite appropriate now.

3. Kneeling Shot (0)
You do not need to use Kneeling Shot at all.

Ranger
Circle 1:
• Barrage (5/5)
• Steady Aim (5/5)
• High Anchoring (5/5)
Circle 2:
Readers' discretion: this is one of my 3 recommended Rank 4 picks. You do not need to take this. Your other choices are Wugushi 1 and Scout 1.
• Steady Aim (10/10)
• Barrage (10/10)
• Time Bomb Arrow (1/10)
• High Anchoring (9/10)

1. Critical Shot (0) - Applicable only for Circle 2, Rank 4.
This skill is single target but not special at all. If you are filling in for auto attacks, please use Oblique instead. Critical Shot provides no apparent improvement in exchange for its SP cost, especially if you're following this build. This is because you will already be hitting critical hits frequently. This is not much stronger than a regular auto-attack, anyway.

2. Time Bomb Arrow (0 or 1) - Applicable only for Circle 2, Rank 4.
Time Bomb Arrow is an unusual skill in that it is two hits: the first hit attaches a payload that detonates shortly after. Generally, this is not helpful since the skill's explosion sends enemies flying. This disrupts party flow for dungeons and grinding. It does have its use, though. If you can land it on a target, it will without fail stagger the target, inflicting Strike damage (effective vs. Plate Armor). This can be handy for both solo-play and PVP. You can ignore it, nonetheless; you won't be affected much, since this is a PVE build at heart.

Scout
Readers' discretion: this is one of my 3 recommended Rank 4 picks. You do not need to take this. Your other choices are Wugushi 1 and Ranger 2.
Circle 1:
• Cloaking (5/5)
• Flare Shot (5/5)
• Camouflage (4/5)
• Flu Flu (1/5)

1. Flu Flu (1/5)
1 point for the effect on debuff count.

Wugushi
Readers' discretion: this is one of my 3 recommended Rank 4 picks. You do not need to take this. Your other choices are Ranger 2 and Scout 1.
Circle 1:
• Wugong Gu (1/5)
• Zhendu (1/5)
• Needle Blow (5/5)
• Wugong Gu (5/5)
• Detoxify (3/5)
• Bewitch (1/1)

1. Detoxify (3/5)
Detoxify removes poison debuffs and grants immunities according to level of this skill. Level 3 includes Black Death Steam/Plague Vapors.

2. Zhendu (1/5)
Arguably the least relevant of the three poison debuffs for Wugushi 1, it's low effort and low yield. One point is fine for the poison resistance reduction effect.

3. Bewitch (1/1)
It's a one-point skill. Zhendu 2/5 does not offer anything significant to warrant ditching a skill. Bewitch inflicts "Confusion" (stun) on all Wugushi-poisoned targets within your line of sight. However, this skill has a deceptively small range.

Fletcher
Circle 1:
• Bodkin Point (1)
• Broadhead (1)
• Crossfire (1)
Readers' discretion: put points into either below, or save for Fletcher 2 for Magic Arrow.
• Barbed, Bodkin
Circle 2:
• Magic Arrow (5/5)
Readers' discretion: put points into either below, or save for Fletcher 3 for more Magic Arrow and Divine Machine Arrow.
• Barbed, Bodkin
Circle 3:
• Magic Arrow (10/10)
• Divine Machine Arrow (5/5)
• Barbed, Bodkin

1. Barbed Arrow, Broadhead, Bodkin Point, and Crossfire
Important!
• I suggest max Bodkin Point. It returns as a reliable source of damage with bonus to defense shred (which Archers now naturally lack). It's also 0 CD, unlike many skills that were formerly 0 CD but became 5 OH, 10s CD. The defense shred goes as high as 15%, and 17.5% with maximum attribute. However, the defense shred might still be bugged.
• Broadhead's damage was considerably lowered. While you cannot use it for nice additional damage, you can however use it in tandem with Prison Cutter Cards (+15% damage against bleeding targets). I suggest minimally 1 point.
• Crossfire is moderate for AOE spread, but its hitbox is still problematic, and it has a prohibitively high SP cost for repeated use, if fully invested. I would suggest none at all. This build is specifically for single-target, so Crossfire has no merit.
• Barbed Arrow remains strong for a filler skill. It may not be 0 CD anymore, but you will not have a chance to be stuck on waiting for Barbed Arrow, anyway. I would suggest putting all the remaining points into this. In my build, I have 13.

Hackapell
Circle 1:
• Storm Bolt (1/5)
• Skarphuggning (1/5)
• Storm Bolt (5/5)
• Skarphuggning (5)
• Cavalry Charge (1/5)
• Leg Shot (1/5)
Readers' discretion: put 4 points into either Leg Shot or Cavalry Charge, or mix it up.

1. Storm Bolt
You need to get this first. It functionally behaves like Buttstroke, except for Hackapell skills. After you've gotten a point in Storm Bolt and Skarphuggning each, you want to raise Storm Bolt again for a longer duration.

2. Leg Shot and Cavalry Charge
Leg Shot hits hard. Cavalry Charge does, too. Both are high utility and now have high damage. You may either invest 4:1 into these skills, or you may save points for Rank 9. You can even skip Leg Shot, as well. This is to your discretion.

Since DEX cannot augment Critical Rate stat anymore, many of you may wonder what to do to resolve the issue of stats. With the help of fellow Fletchers, especially Pedro201188, I decided that you have multiple ways to approach stats.

High DEX
e.g. 50 STR, remainder DEX
While DEX no longer provides Accuracy or Critical Rate, DEX is still viable as Critical Attack now scales with Skill Factor. For comparison, STR offers 925 Physical Attack compared to DEX's 2294 Critical Attack. If you choose this stat distribution, be warned that you should seek to gear yourself quite seriously. You will want a 5kg Dumbbell for its 3 STR per stack, 10 max stacks buff. This, along with 4 pieces of Leather Armor, will provide you with the accuracy you lack. For this build, I recommend focusing on Critical Rate stat. Ideally you want to reach around high 500s to low 700s Critical Rate, putting you at about 50%.

: Critical chance = (Your Critical Rate - Target Critical Resistance)^(0.6)
: Target Critical Resistance = (Target Level)/2
: e.g. Lv.330 monsters have 165 Critical Resistance. However, with Cavalry Charge, this becomes irrelevant. High Anchoring also removes up to 75.
: 550 ^ 0.6 = 44.1%
: 750 ^ 0.6 = 53.1%

To achieve my recommended Critical Rate threshold, consider socketing your Sword with 4 Green Gems when you get a 4 slotter. That alone should be plenty. For your Crossbow, I recommend Yellow, Red, or Green, in their order of significance. I recommend either Sissel Bracelets (especially if you just want to go after bosses) or Gladiator Bands/Phadas; both types benefit.


High STR, with research from and thanks to Pedro201188
e.g. 50 DEX, remainder STR
This approach takes maximizing Physical Attack over all other stats. Since DEX in this case is not for augmenting attack speed (except with a couple skills), you may consider investing high STR. Subsequently, you'll build more for Physical Attack than Critical Attack. I recommend Red, Yellow, or Green, in their order of significance for both Crossbow and Sword. This will raise Hackapell damage directly as well. This build is much more in line with consistency and requires fewer resources to be spent on the character overall.

Example Alternate Builds
PVP Focus
Archer 2 - Hunter 2 - Fletcher 3 - X
• Heavy on CCs; Mergen strongly suggested for Rank 8 to alleviate the focus on pet vs. Hackapell.
Archer 2 - Ranger 1 - Hunter 1 - Fletcher 3 - X
• Some CCs for Fletcher. Adds moderate absolute critical chance by Coursing.
Archer 2 - Hunter 1 - Scout 1 - Fletcher 3 - X
• Most PVP capable build among this list. Nonetheless, don't forget that Hunter skills have been moderately neutered by CC duration.

Hackapell Focus
Archer 1,2 - Quarrel Shooter 3 - Wugushi, Rogue, or Appraiser - Hackapell
• A Hackapell build that deviates from Fletchers, yet very strong, too. Has high independence from Critical Rate as a stat, yet critically hits often.
Archer 1 - Quarrel Shooter 3 - Fletcher 3 - Hackapell
• I previously did not recommend this build. Now, I recommend it wholeheartedly. Your damage will benefit from your Sword. Your classes allow a greater independence from the Critical Rate stat.

Variations of This Build
Archer 3 - Wugushi 1 - Fletcher 3 - Hackapell
• Ignores Ranger in favor of more Critical Rate from Archer 3 Swift Step. Loses Steady Aim 5 and Barrage 5 but they are not significant.
Recommended distribution: 1 Multi Shot, 15 Swift Step, 10 Heavy Shot, 5 Twin Arrows; player preference on Oblique Shot and Full Draw.
Archer 2 - Ranger 2 - Fletcher 3 - Hackapell
• Original build for this guide. Functions well with higher Steady Aim and Barrage. I recommend high Broadhead on this build, as a side note, for damage boost with Prison Cutter Cards.

About Sapper
I do not recommend Sapper for the purpose of this build. By comparison, all the alternate builds also fit in line with the theme of this build: Boss Killing, or more generally single target killing. Sapper 2 is all you can fit in this build but while Sapper damage has been significantly improved vs. pre-Rework, it's still very insufficient for single target damage. Also considering Sapper is not mount compatible, you are forced to pick something else, usually Mergen. That build is fine on its own but not for boss killing. Both Mergen and Sapper are not single target damage dealers, directly contrasting this build.


Attribute Guideline, in text
---
first key: if it says "max", max; otherwise, aim for the number as level of attribute, whether immediate or long-term goal
second key: higher number = higher importance; 5 is highest priority

Archer
Swift Step: Critical Rate
• Lv Max - 5
• Very important. Don't miss this. 150 Critical Rate is invaluable.
Swift Step: Party Share
• Lv Max - 1
• With upcoming changes, buff limits will no longer be a restriction. Furthermore, Swift Step: Party Share shares Swift Step: Critical Rate as well. When the time comes, make sure to grab this attribute to supplement party play.
Multi Shot: Enhance
• Lv.10+ - 1
• Cheap but the skill is weak.
Multi Shot: Critical
• Lv Max - 5
• Fixed critical chance is always appreciated.
Full Draw: Decreased Defense
• Lv Max - 4
• Decent debuff to "Skewed" targets. You may pass on this if you want, but defense shred is scarce.
Full Draw: Increased Knockback
• 0 or Lv Max - 2
• Per preference. Most people dislike this. You may choose not to get it.
Oblique Shot: Enhance
• Lv.10+ - 1
• A decent skill. Enhance is optional here, because you won't have a chance to use this once you're higher level.
Oblique Shot: Slow
• Lv Max - 2
• Decent debuff but this skill becomes rather obsolete.

Ranger
Barrage: Enhance
• Lv.40+ - 3
• Strong skill and somewhat cheap.
High Anchoring: Critical Chance
• Lv Max - 4
• High Critical Resistance shred.
Steady Aim: Enhance
• Lv Max - 2
• Cheap but very minor.

Scout
Cloaking: Increased Movement Speed
• Lv Max - 5
• This is the best use of Cloaking - to run faster.
Cloaking: Physical Damage
• Lv Max - 5
• Just a small bonus to using Cloaking.
Flare Shot: Enhance
• Lv.40+ - 2
• Flare Shot is quite mediocre. But it's damage nonetheless. I would only invest in this if you have all your other attributes moderately leveled.
Flu Flu: Debuff Count
• Lv Max - 3
• Increases number of debuffs on target. Why not?

Wugushi
Wugong Gu: Continuous Infection
• Lv Max - 5
• This turns Wugong Gu into a spreading DOT.
Wugong Gu: Enhance
• Lv.40+ - 4
• Moderate poison AOE. Enhance increases DOT damage.
Zhendu: Decreased Poison Resistance
• Lv Max - 5
• Augments Zhendu to boost all your poison-related DOTs by reducing poison resistance.
Needle Blow: Enhance
• Lv.40+ - 4
• Strong poison on single target. Enhance increases DOT damage.

Fletcher
Magic Arrow: Enhance
• Lv.70+ - 5 !
• This is your bread-and-butter skill, still. Your primary source of damage, so you are keen to invest into this Enhance.
Magic Arrow: Silence
• Lv Max - 5
• Only increases SP usage now.
Divine Machine Arrow: Enhance
• Lv.60+ - 5
• This skill hits quite hard, so you ought to invest into its Enhance.
Divine Machine Arrow: Shock
• Lv Max - 5
• You reduce the stats of the target through Shock. Small penalty incurred to SP usage.
Barbed Arrow: Enhance
• Lv.60+ - 4
• Barbed is one of your nice filler skills. Very strong on Leather and Cloth targets.
Broadhead: Enhance
• Lv.50+ - 3
• Broadhead has declined in priority. Nevertheless, its bleed damage may be augmented through this.
Bodkin Point: Enhance
• Lv.60+ - 5
• One of your only 0 CD skills, and it inflicts defense shred, too. Very strong at base.
Bodkin Point: Decreased Defense
• Lv Max - 2
• Low priority due to cost and benefit relationship. Only adds an additional 2.5% defense shred at max level.

Summary: Level Magic Arrow: Enhance most importantly, up to a minimum of 60. This is your most important skill up to Hackapell. Everything else is less important.




Weapons
Crossbows
Lv.001 - 169+: White-tier
Lv.170: Isbality
• 3 sockets. Small penalty on Beast-types. Strongest Crossbow by design, with Gems considered, until Lv.270.
Lv.170: Grajus
• 2 sockets. Penalty to movement speed (-2) but with its STR, it is significantly stronger than before. Better than Isbality without Gems, and slightly below Isbality when Gems are considered.
Lv.220: Superior & Didel Kracked Shooter
• Superior Kracked Shooter is a good budget weapon.
• Didel Kracked Shooter is better, but requires more investment by time, materials, or money.
Lv.220: Didel Grand Cross
• As odd as this sounds, this Crossbow is amazing for any Archer in this level range. High bonus stats, moderate base stats. If you're QS, this is even better.
Lv.270: Hunting Ground Crossbows, et al.
• Moderately strong but not cheap or easy to hunt. Comes in two tiers: Blue (uncommon) and Purple (rare). Purple ones offer better stats and more bonus stats, but they are much rarer to find.
Lv.315: Silver Hawk - Practonium-tier
• Decently strong and requires far less effort than Regard Horn Crossbow. Lacks the extra attack found in RHC, however, and lacks an extra socket found in RHC as well. Budget option but inferior; nonetheless should not be looked down upon.
Lv.315: Regard Horn Crossbow - Practonium-tier
• Somewhat difficult to farm but well worth it. High stats, and 3 sockets. Needs 2 Practonium.

Swords
Lv.75: Durandal
• OK stats, and 3 sockets. However, due to its low level, it has rather low base attack. It is about on par with Trinity Sword in terms of benefit.
Lv.120: Trinity Sword
• Decent stats, but overshadowed by other Swords primarily because level of weapon now influences base attack much more strongly than before.
Lv.170: Magas Sword
• Good upgrade from Trinity Sword, but not much better. Still only has 2 sockets, and only slightly better base stats.
Lv.170: Imperni Sword
• A rare, 3-socket Sword. Its gimmicky "effect" can be ignored; Squire Repairs will remain the same cost. This was formerly my choice of Sword, but due to its rarity, I could not recommend new players to get this when the Hunting Grounds Swords exist.
Lv.170: Harvester - Hunting Grounds
• High stats, and can come in 3- and 4-socket variants. Highly effective for its high socket count.
Lv.220: Pajoritas Sword - Hunting Grounds
• Can come in 4-socket variants. Better than Harvester for the purpose of PVE. My choice of Sword for most players.
Lv.270: (Purine) Migantis Sword - Hunting Grounds
• Can come in 4-socket variants. Better than Pajoritas, but the grind for one is rough, especially if you're going after the Purine version. Nonetheless, this is a fine choice for end-game.
Lv.315: (Purine) Pevordimas Sword - Hunting Grounds
• Can come in 4 socket variants, like all HG Swords listed above. Best budget choice, and easily end-game quality, especially for the Purine version. Just don't expect it to be an easy hunt.
Lv.315: Pierene Sword - Practonium-tier
• Mediocre Sword for our purposes. Great for defense but we don't need that. The AOE Def Ratio is also something we want to avoid.
Lv.315: Abdochar - Practonium-tier
• Good stats. High emphasis on offense, but lacks a slot compared to Hunting Grounds Swords. However, since Orange-tier/Unique weapons are significantly stronger with refines considered, Abdochar is in fact the current endgame sword for Hackapell.

Bows, Pistols, etc.
Lv.75: Arde Dagger
• The first of many sub-weapons you will undoubtedly encounter. Decent stats but will be obsoleted quickly.
Lv.170: Small Crystaras - Hunting Grounds
• Decent upgrade to Arde. Provides up to 2 sockets.
Lv.170: Alcris - Hunting Grounds
• Good pistol witih 2 slots. Better than Manamana by raw stats, with gem slots considered.
Lv.170: Manamana
• Nice pistol with special anvil effect that augments its refine value. Nonetheless, suffers from only 1 socket. Good utility stats.
Lv.220: Marksman
• Very nice bow with unique effect of reducing target Critical Resistance. Moderate stats, but only 2 sockets compared to the usual 3 on most bows.
Lv.220: Light Gorithos & Hunting Wreech Bow
• Decent bows with 3 sockets. Nothing amazing, but they'll be there for you to use. If you go Hackapell you do not need bows anyway. These will be sufficient if you ever need a bow.
Lv.315: Double Stack - Practonium-tier
• 2-socket pistol. Decent stats but not worth the cost, despite Hackapell having Leg Shot.
Lv.315: Aspana Revolver - Practonium-tier
• Very difficult to farm, but end-game quality pistol. You don't really need this. It is the best pistol, though.

Armor - I recommend wearing 4 pieces of Leather.
Lv.015 - 090: Cafrisun Set
Lv.090 - 169: White-tier or Quest armor
Lv.170 - 270: Eaglestar Leather Set. Drops in Hunting Grounds.
Lv.270 - 330: Hunting Grounds 270~315 Leather pieces.

Notable pieces
Lv.15: Vubbe Fighter Gauntlets
• Leather Gloves
• 10 STR, 2 AoE Atk Ratio
• Only one socket
• Notes: Helps with some of your multi-hit skills, especially with Hackapell. Unfortunately, many Archer skills do not benefit from AoE Atk Ratio.
Lv.15: Nepenthes Gloves
• Cloth Gloves
• 5 DEX
• 2 sockets
• Notes: 5 DEX is decent especially at this level. Also easily obtainable as it's made from a quest reward recipe.
Lv.40: Red Veris Gloves
• Leather Gloves
• 23 Critical Rate
• 2 sockets
• Notes: Low level, high Critical Rate, and not too hard to make.
Lv.75: Soul Chaser Gloves
• Leather Gloves
• 16 Minimum Attack, 43 Critical Attack
• 2 sockets
• Notes: Solid gloves, but they do take awhile to farm.
Lv.75: Shade Runner
• Leather Shoes
• 11 DEX
• Only one socket
Lv.75: Wind Runner
• Leather Shoes
• 3 Move Speed
• 3 sockets
• Notes: Makes you really fast! Great for stacking Monster Gems. But difficult to obtain and expensive to buy.
Lv.170: Eaglestar Leather Gloves
• Leather Gloves
• 257 HP, 19 Critical Rate
• Up to 2 sockets
• Notes: Good piece until higher level HG pieces.
Lv.170: Roxona Plate Gauntlets
• Plate Gloves
• Adds AoE Atk Ratio
• Notes: Although I mentioned this in "Armor", I must stress again: Roxona Plate Gauntlets in particular have a couple unique characteristics. 1. Plate. 2. AoE Atk Ratio.
Lv.270: Hasta Leather Armor
• Leather Top
• 6 STR, 6 DEX
• 2 sockets
• Notes: Good top. Provides stats that are uncommon to armor pieces, let alone a top.
Lv.270: Hasta Leather Gloves
• Leather Gloves
• 8 Evasion, 42 Critical Attack
• 2 sockets
• Notes: Decent stats, similar to Soul Chaser Gloves but with more defense. Fairly cheap.

Accessories
Hair Accessories: prioritize Physical Attack and Critical Attack. These are your two most important stats. Critical Rate is also appreciated. Elemental Attack should be considered, but not a priority. HP and/or either defense may be suitable if your character has issues; but I feel armor refining will solve most of those issues.
• Physical Attack
• Critical Attack
• Critical Rate
• HP
• Elemental Attack
• Physical/Magic Defense

Necklace:
Lv.75: Strength Pendant
• Increases Physical and Critical Attack. Provides more raw offense than Petamion.
Lv.120: Petamion
• +8 ALL Stat. Provides a bit of everything in one.
Lv.170: Max Petamion - requires Petamion
• +14 ALL Stat. Requires Petamion, but also is a good upgrade.
Lv.220: Terrallion
• +13 ALL Stat. Does not require Petamion, but slightly lower stats, in exchange for a bit more Magic Defense.
Lv.120: Agny Necklace
• You may be wondering why this is listed, but it adds minimally 200 Fire Property Attack, more effective than an Arde Dagger or Karacha Dagger, only slightly less than Manamana.

Bracelets:
Lv.75: Gladiator Band - requires Battle Bracelet
• Although you are unlikely to acquire it at Lv.75, this bracelet in particular adds a load of Critical Attack. They also add AOE Atk Ratio, something that Hackapell really can benefit from. STR is also quite useful, something that Gladiator Band provides much of.
Lv.170: Sissel Bracelet - requires Battle Bracelet
• Highly coveted by most physical classes, these grant Critical Rate and a bonus PROC that generates a temporary buff augmenting Physical Attack and Movement Speed at the cost of Physical Defense. If you go full DEX, you will most likely miss enough with these equipped to generate the buff. This is actually to your benefit, not to the detriment of your DPS.
Lv.220: Phada
• Good alternative to Gladiator Band, yet somewhat worse in many regards. Higher Magic Defense, and does not need Battle Bracelet. Requires a bit of a grind to make. Grants moderately better Critical Attack compared to Gladiator Band, but does not grant STR.

Endgame-tier:
Lv.315: Frieno Set
• Frieno Necklace
• Frieno Bracelet
The 3-set bonus isn't particularly amazing, but the pieces plus the 2-set bonus provides many stats that are beneficial for physical classes, including Hackapell. However, this set is a bit of a grind but will be your ultimate goal.

Gems
Weapon - See Stats (#STDX) - Sword & Crossbow
Sub-weapon - Red (Phys. Attack) - Pistol & Dagger
Top - Red (HP) or Yellow (Physical Defense)
Bottom - Red (HP) or Yellow (Physical Defense)
Gloves - Red (Critical Attack)
Shoes - Yellow (HP) or Blue (Magic Defense)

Monster Gems, by importance in descending order
Lepusbunny - Magic Arrow - Weapon & Glove
Black Colifly - Divine Machine Arrow - Weapon & Boot
Stoulet - Barbed Arrow - Weapon & Glove
Rambear Archer - Broadhead - Weapon & Glove
White Pino - Needle Blow - Weapon & Glove
Mine Vubbe Archer - Wugong Gu - Weapon & Glove
Spion Archer - Barrage - Weapon & Boot
Colifly - Steady Aim - Glove & Boot

Yellow on main-hand always gives more Critical Attack than Red will, by a significant amount. For instance, a Lv.7 Red on main gives 310 Maximum Attack, which really is more like 155 Physical Attack after averaging. Meanwhile, since this build caters to critical focused Fletchers, Yellow's 470 Critical Attack at Lv.7 is greater than the 233 ( ~= 155 * 1.5) Critical Attack output of Red by more than double. Furthermore, Critical Attack now scales with Skill Factor, so it should always be in your favor to stack it.

On the other hand, Red on off-hand makes more sense because the Critical Attack produced by Red (Physical) exceeds that of Yellow's. Let's use Lv.7 again as an example. Lv.7 Red gives 185 Physical Attack, whereas Lv.7 Yellow gives 245 Critical Attack. Red really gives 278 ( ~= 185 * 1.5) on critical, but also adds to Broadhead DoT. This is important to consider, as Red actually gives a very significant boost.

Nonetheless, as Critical Rate is a scarce stat, you may consider socketing your Sword or even Crossbow both with Green Gems. IMHO, a high DEX build benefits greatly and has the highest potential of damage, with the context of Green Gems. This is less relevant if you have Appraiser or Rogue in your build, in case you were looking for Hackapell-specific, yet not Fletcher-related information.

With the changes to defenses, I recommend using Monster Gems (Skill Gems) whenever you can in Armor. One key example is Wind Runner, a pair of 3 slot Leather Shoes; you should always try to socket Wind Runner with Monster Gems given its unusual, very beneficial characteristics. I will strongly recommend Monster Gems in Shoes and Gloves most importantly.

Red Cards:
• Prison Cutter (+[⭐]% Total Damage on Bleeding Mobs):
- If you have a high level Broadhead for 100% uptime. Good choice overall.
• Velnia Monkey (+[⭐]% Total Damage on Poisoned Mobs):
- If you are Wugushi 1. Wugushi 1 grants 100% uptime on poison if you time your skills well.
• Glass Mole (+[⭐]% Physical Attack when using SP potions, 6s):
- Only if you are extremely invested. Would still recommend the above two cards more.
Archers generally do not have other sources of "Total Damage %" so Prison Cutter and Velnia Monkey both offer true 10% per 10⭐ Card.

Blue Cards:
• Nuaele (+[⭐]% Magic Defense):
- Expensive but the best card to use.
• Gray Golem (+[10*⭐] Physical Defense):
• Denoptic (+[10*⭐] Magic Defense):
• Golem (+[⭐]% Physical Defense when using HP potions, 10s):
• Progola (+[⭐]% Magic Defense when using HP potions, 10s):
- Cheaper alternatives.

Purple Cards:
• Gazing Golem ([⭐]% chance to cast Lv.1 Pain Barrier upon being hit):
- Recommending at least two, but you do not need 3.
• Rajapearl ([⭐]% chance to inflict Bleed per hit):
- Good if you're using Prison Cutter Cards (Red), on top of Broadhead.
• Yeti (+[180*⭐] Max HP):
- 1800 more HP is always nice.

Green Cards:
• Ellaganos (+[⭐] DEX):
• Netherbovine (+[⭐] STR):
Pick whichever you'd like. STR has a lot of benefit here as it provides Physical Attack and Accuracy.

Scouts: Do not use Cloaking in competitive boss fights! It's OK for instanced with just your party, but when you use Cloaking, you lose all contribution to the boss!

Summary:
• Start with this Fletcher rotation: since you have no skills active first, cast Swift Step and Steady Aim. Drop a Magic Arrow and go through Divine Machine Arrow and Broadhead. Apply your debuff skills if you need, and use fillers if you're out of rotations. After the first set of Fletcher skills, begin Hackapell skills, secondary rotations including debuffs and Wugushi, and any fillers, before returning to Fletcher rotation.

• For Hackapell, use Storm Bolt first, and then use either Skarphuggning, Cavalry Charge, or Storm Bolt again. Storm Bolt's debuff now multiplies Hackapell skill damage, a la Musketeer's Buttstroke. Take this into consideration. Storm Bolt also scales according to weapons used. Cavalry Charge should be used whenever its debuff wears off, as well. You may break this into two sets of either Storm Bolt into Cavalry Charge into Skarphuggning, or however you wish; freestyle. Keep in consideration the armor type of the target you're facing. If you are fighting Leather targets, for example, you are OK to use two consecutive Storm Bolts. You must use Cavalry Charge, because its debuff makes scoring critical hits easier.

• For Wugushi, use Zhendu and cast Wugong Gu and Needle Blow, Ideally, wait until all three of these skills are off cool-down. Use them somewhat spaced out (e.g. wait 4 seconds between skill use) if you are using Velnia Monkey Cards.

• For debuffs, you may consider using High Anchoring (or Rapid Fire if QS) to lower Critical Resistance as well.

If you are a Ranger 3 Fletcher seeking general advice in here, I can suggest only one advancement path: Hackapell. Hackapell has high synergy with Fletcher (intentionally allows skills mounted), and Hackapell also grants a couple advantages: mobility that you could not take (no room for Scout 1 for sure) and extra sockets and stats from 1H Sword sub (although Gems are probably still calculated as if 1H Sword was mainhand).

Nonetheless, if you follow this build (Archer 2, Ranger 1, X), I still recommend Hackapell. It will prove to be more boss oriented than Mergen, and offers synergy and mobility. You could also opt for Mergen as well for more AoE handling. Keep in mind that Hackapell offers more advantages and doesn't lock new skills to 2H Bow only.

If you are a Scout Fletcher, you should still pick Hackapell. Cloaking does not work with Hackapell or mounting, but do not be deterred. Hackapell has true synergy for Fletcher.

Pick your build accordingly. Don't feel compelled to pick one specifically - use your best judgment, and free style some points as you wish.
