The Ultimate Guide to the Fierce Huntress in The Slormancer
The Fierce Huntress stands out as one of three playable classes in The Slormancer, mastering the art of ranged combat with her signature weaponry—the Slorm Reaper bow and Ravenous Daggers for close encounters. Unique to her gameplay is the Serenity mechanic, which alternates between Tormented and Delighted states, enabling you to harness powerful effects that significantly enhance her arrow volleys and traps.
With an array of class specializations available, particularly the Architect of Death and Sharpshooter of the Wild, determining the most effective build can be daunting. To simplify this, we present a comprehensive build guide tailored specifically for the Huntress in The Slormancer.
Top Huntress Builds in The Slormancer
The Huntress features three primary specializations: Architect of Death, Sharpshooter of the Wild, and Mist Walker. For optimal performance, it’s advisable to concentrate on the first two, as they offer superior stat boosts and synergize effectively with Huntress skills. Proper gear enhances these capabilities, boosting both stats and class-related passives. Below are the recommended builds for these top specializations based on game situations and modes.
Sharpshooter of the Wild Build for the Huntress
| Skills | Void Arrow | Arrow Shot |
|---|---|---|
| Mastery I | Pierced by the Void | Bouncing Arrow |
| Mastery II | Almighty Void | Obsidian Arrowhead |
| Mastery III | Wormhole of the Void | Snap Back |
| Mastery IV | Legacy of the Void | So Many Arrows |
| Mastery V | Torment of the Void | Multiplicative Arrow |
Each skill listed above should be prioritized for leveling. Upon unlocking the Sharpshooter of the Wild specialization, you gain access to a unique Special skill, which can be developed as follows:
| Special Skill | Tumble |
|---|---|
| Mastery I | Assassin’s Momentum |
| Mastery II | Good Reception |
| Mastery III | Exhilarating Speed |
| Mastery IV | Ravenous Pace |
| Mastery V | Evasive Fire |
| Mastery VI | Action Plan |
| Mastery VII | Diagon Alley |
| Mastery VIII | Neverending Torment |
To maximize damage output (DPS) for this build, equip the Big Fury Primordial Bow. This weapon provides substantial DPS while its passive skill, Primordial Malediction, enhances your attack power even further.
Remember that despite her high damage potential, the Huntress can struggle with sustainability. Consequently, your stat allocation should primarily focus on maxing out Toughness, with additional points assigned to Bravery and Dexterity.
Architect of Death Build for the Huntress
| Skills | Immortal Arrow | Arrow Shot |
|---|---|---|
| Mastery I | Scholar’s Arrow | Voracious Arrow |
| Mastery II | Arrow of Replenishment | Obsidian Arrowhead |
| Mastery III | Skewering Stun | Arrow of Elusion |
| Mastery IV | Experienced Arrow | Insatiable Arrows |
| Mastery V | Companions | Multiplicative Arrow |
As with the previous specialization, the skills listed here should be the focus for leveling. You’ll also unlock a special skill for the Architect of Death specialization, which can be upgraded according to the following table:
| Special Skill | Turrent Syndrome |
|---|---|
| Mastery I | The Greedy Huntress |
| Mastery II | Totemic Might |
| Mastery III | Totems of Renewal |
| Mastery IV | Force of Nature |
| Mastery V | Acidic Arrowheads |
| Mastery VI | Force Transmission |
| Mastery VII | Speed! Violence! Momentum! |
| Mastery VIII | The Leecher |
For this build, utilize the Adam Nostrus’ Perfect Bow, as it enhances Mastery levels and provides critical boosts to your totems. Should you prefer a more aggressive style, the Big Fury bow serves as an excellent alternative.
Once again, stat allocation should prioritize Toughness, with supplementary points directed towards Bravery and Dexterity for an optimized approach.
Effective Gameplay Strategies for the Huntress in The Slormancer
Mastering the Huntress is crucial, especially during the game’s later stages, where a single misstep could jeopardize your progress. For novices, it’s advised to focus on repeating skills to build Delighted stacks (up to a maximum of 12) to trigger bonus damage. As you become adept, manipulating your skills to drop into Tormented mode will enable you to access alternate buffs.
Players adopting the Architect of Death strategy should strategically place Ballistas and Traps at choke points, then deploy Immortal Arrow to pierce through enemy hordes while triggering Serenity benefits. Kiting enemies toward your traps will facilitate steady progress.
Conversely, those using the Sharpshooter of the Wild build should aim to dash into position using Tumble, then unleash a barrage of Arrow Shots and Void Arrows to sustain Torment mode, yielding significant DPS.
