The '''Magick Archer''' is one of three [[:Category:Hybrid Vocations|Hybrid vocations]] in [[Dragon's Dogma]]. Hybrid vocations are exclusive to your main character, the [[Arisen]]. It costs 1,500 [[Discipline Points]] ([[Discipline points|DP]]) to switch to this vocation, then costs nothing to switch back to it later after the initial purchase.

The '''Magick Archer''' is one of three [[:Category:Hybrid Vocations|Hybrid vocations]] in [[Dragon's Dogma]]. Hybrid vocations are exclusive to the [[Arisen]], and cannot be learnt by [[Pawns]]. It costs 1,500 [[Discipline Points]] to switch to this vocation.
==Description==
 
   
Equipped with magick bows, the Magick Archer is a class that weaves sorcery into every shot from their bow, ensuring that they always hit their mark. Magick Archers also blend sorcery into their daggers as well, making them a deadly class up close or from afar.
 
   
  +
==Overview==
:Primary Weapon: [[Daggers]] or [[Staves|Staff]]
 
  +
:''"A skilled explorer and well-balanced adventurer, able to wield a magick bow."''
   
  +
Magick Archer combines elements of [[Mage]] and [[Strider]], allowing it to equip both [[Daggers]] and [[Staves]] as a primary weapon and has access to some armor and clothing suitable for both bow users and spellcasters. For its secondary weapon, Magick Archer has exclusive access to [[Magick Bows]]. Magick Archer has unique offensive and support spells that can be cast from all three weapon types.
:Secondary Weapon: [[Magick Bows|Magick Bow]]
 
 
:Primary Offensive stat: [[Stats|Magick]]
 
 
:Armor: Magick Archers have access to amongst the widest range of armors of all vocations - almost all general melee and spellcaster pieces can be worn - only a few heavy armor items restricted to sword users only cannot be equipped. There are three armor sets wholly or nearly wholly restricted to this class alone: the [[Novice's Armor Set]], the [[Raptor Armor Set]], and the [[Holy Armor Set]].
 
 
==Strengths and Role==

  +
Magick Archer, being a hybrid of physical and magickal vocations, has a selection of weapon skills that utilize both [[Magick]] and [[Strength]], though it leans more towards magick in terms of abilities.
  +
* For Magick, the Magick Bow and Staves rely on this stat for their magick arrows and weapon skills. In addition, this vocation also has exclusive access to a handful of dagger spells that also utilize Magick (with [[Backfire]] and its upgrades as an exception).
  +
* For Strength, melee attacks common to other Daggerist vocations, as well as [[Backfire]] based skills will use this stat.
   
  +
A Magick Archer can be a powerful attacker in its own right, with access to some extremely effective spells, and the versatility to switch between magick- or strength-based skills and equipment as needed. However, its growth with experience is mostly defensively based, especially in [[Magick Defense]]. [[Magick]] growth is above average, but [[Defense]] growth is low, and [[Strength]] mediocre.
'''Magick Arrows''': Magick Archers have fused magick into their very bows, allowing them to fire magickal arrows. The basic damage of the bow will affect Phantoms and their cousins.
 
   
  +
Additionally it can be effective as a non-healing support class. Magick Archer is able to provide debilitation resistances, magick power boosts, magick defense boosts, and set magick traps through its spells. It can even provide temporary light sources.
'''Homing Shots''': Magick bows lock onto enemies within the targeting reticle either on the ground or through the air, automatically aiming with pinpoint accuracy.
 
   
  +
===Non-Arisen Magick Archers===
'''Mystical Daggers''': Magick Archers are able to weave their sorcery into their daggers, allowing for spectacular magickal attacks.
 
  +
Pawns may not learn the Magick Archer vocation, though some other humans have done so. [[Ophis]] wields a Magick Bow, and some other more experience bandits, such as found in the [[Cursewood]] and in the [[Pastona Cavern]] have mastered the magick bow. Pawn's refer to such enemies as 'Sorcerers'.
   
  +
In [[Dark Arisen]], [[Corrupted Pawns]] in [[Bitterblack Isle]] may also be Magick Archers, as seen in [[The Pilgrim's Gauntlet]].
'''Elemental Attacks:''' Magick bows skills are naturally infused with an element (Ice, Fire, etc) and allow for immediate access to an enemy's particular weakness. A regular shot from a magic bow deals pure magick damage, not physical like from normal bows.
 
   
  +
==Skills and Augments==
'''Short Special Skill Cast Time: '''The [[Daggers|Dagger]] and [[Magick Bows|Magick Bow]] skills of the Magick Archer charge slightly faster than those of normal Magick spells. The [[Wyrmking's Ring]] and the [[Articulacy]] augment will shorten charge times even further.
 
   
  +
:Skills in '''bold''' are unique to the Magick Archer.
'''High Mobility:''' The Magick Archer is the only vocation that can either double jump OR levitate. When wielding daggers they can double jump and dodge roll which make them highly maneuverable on the battlefield. If wielding a staff, they can use levitate to bridge large gaps inaccessible to double jumps. Certain treasure chests and hidden areas are ONLY reachable by levitating.
 
  +
:Skills in ''italics'' can only be obtained via [[Skill Rings and Bands]] found in ''[[Dark Arisen]]''.
   
'''Versatility: '''The Magick Archer can easily adapt to fight off a variety of enemies and provide much needed support to the party. The Magick Archer's available skills can suit any playstyle. Magick Archers are also able to wield all elements at once, provided you choose the correct skills, thereby making it easy to exploit elemental weaknesses. They also have skills suited to both fighting a single strong enemy and skills for crowd control.
 
   
  +
===Core Skills===
'''High Magick Defense Growth:''' Magick Archers have a high Magick Defense growth making them resilient to magick attacks. Above level 100 they overtake the [[Sorcerer]] and [[Mage]] in highest Magick Defense growth.'' (Not true in Dark Arisen, the Magick Archer's [[Stat Growths|Stat Growth]] has been adjusted.)''
 
  +

  +
! class="txtbg1" |Weapon
'''Living Armor:''' While [[Living Armor]] can be a headache for most other [[vocation]]s to deal with, the Magick Archer's [[Ninefold Bolt]] can finish them faster and more easily than any other skill in the game. As few as 4 shots from a considerable distance can slay Living Armor in under 20 seconds, without a single bruise on the Arisen or pawns.

! class="txtbg1" |[[Discipline Points|DP]]
 
  +
! class="txtbg1" |Description
'''Silence: '''If [[Silence]]d, Magick Archers will not be able to use magic bow skills or magic oriented dagger skills, however they can inflict magick damage with their bow using the single shot, and physical based dagger skills such as [[Cutting Wind]] will still be active.
 
  +
|-

|Magick Bow
'''No Other Arrows:''' Cannot use special arrows (like Blast or Silencer arrows) or the [[Maker's Finger]].
 
  +
|[[Seeker]]
 
  +
| Already learned
'''Necessity of Magic:''' Strength of magic bow and most magic dagger skills comes from magic damage instead of physical damage. Physical damage comes from basic dagger attacks and some dagger skills.

  +
|Fire magical arrows with additional properties. Loses effectiveness with distance.
'''Slow rate of fire:''' Basic shots from Magic Bows are executed more slowly than the short bow and long bow. Their skills are also slower to charge than the other Ranged classes. Carrying the [[Wyrmking's Ring]] and equipping the [[Articulacy]] augment will shorten skill charging times considerably.
 
  +
|-
 
  +
| Magick Bow
'''High Stamina Consumption:''' The quick execution of some skills and the high use of stamina from others can leave the Magick Archer vulnerable while waiting for stamina to recharge. No augment reduces magic bow skill stamina usage.
 
  +
| [[True Seeker]]
 
  +
| 6
'''Less Precision:''' While Magick Bows are able to seek out and hit targets reliably, regular bow shots are restricted by what they can lock on to. Individual parts of larger enemies can still be targeted, like the head of a [[Drake]], but the targeting reticle will not lock on to the horn directly. Other enemies (like [[Gorecyclops (Condemned)|Gorecyclopes]]) can flail about and defy the target lock, making the Arisen hit another body part instead. For many smaller enemies, the reticle targets the torso so the bow cannot be directly at the head.

==Non-Arisen Magick Archers==
 
  +
* Because the Magick Archer, like the [[Mystic Knight]], uses both physical and magickal skills, the Magick Archer is not left without skills if subjected to [[Silence]].
Pawns may not learn the Magick Archer vocation, though some other humans have done so. [[Ophis]] wields a Magick Bow, and a Magick Archer is encountered in the Bluemoon tower during [[The Wyrmking's Ring]] quest (on top of the exterior stairs, on a wall). Some more experience bandits, such as found in the [[Cursewood]] and in the [[Pastona Cavern]] have mastered the magick bow.

*It is common to extensively level as [[Sorcerer]] (for Magick) and another [[:Category:Daggerist Vocations|Daggerist vocation]] (for Stamina and or Strength) before switching to Magick Archer.
  +
*Unlike other [[Vocations]] none of Dagger or Magick Bow skills ''exclusive'' to Magick Archer inherit debilitations from weapons used. Only Core skills are capable of inflicting debilitations.
   
  +
===Bows===
In [[Dark Arisen]], [[Corrupted Pawns]] in [[Bitterblack Isle]] may also be Magick Archers, as seen in [[The Pilgrim's Gauntlet]].
 
  +
*Unlike physical bows, magick power and damage is generally unchanged with distance. However there can be a small change at very close range, such as with [[True Seeker]], which has an approximately +20 increase in power at "shotgun" distances (<3m). Scaling with magick power is unchanged at these close distance.
  +
* An enchanted magick bow does not affect the properties of spell cast with it, similar to the elements of spells cast with [[Staves|Staffs]] or [[Archistaves]]. The exception is the core skill [[Seeker]]. All other bow spells are innately imbued with one of the [[Five Archmagicks]], indicated by the color of the icon of the skill, charging bolt, and its targeting sigil.
  +
*Magick Archer bow spells are capable of "Locking On" to one or multiple targets via a targeting sigil, similar to staff spells. This together with the illumination provided by bow spells such as [[Magickal Flare]] makes Magick Archers effective while fighting in darkness.
  +
**Enemies can be sniped with magick bow spells beyond the targeting distance if correctly aimed.
  +
**Magick Bow damage is unaffected by distance, unlike physical bows.
  +
**The augment [[trajectory]] extends the range of the magick bow.
  +
**It is common for "Locked-On" projectiles to miss a highly nimble target (flying, jumping) at medium to close distance due to sudden loss of focus. Thus, it is generally advised to use Magick Bow skills from a far.
  +
*[[Sacrificial Bolt]] (or [[Great Sacrifice]]) has sufficient power to damage even usually magick resistant enemies, such as [[Golem|Golems]].
  +
*[[Magickal Flare]] generally only damages [[:Category:Undead|Undead]] (including [[Skeletons]] and [[Ghosts]]), but has an additional use in providing a bright illumination.
  +
*[[Ward Arrow]] and related bow spells grant [[impervious]], and so protect from all debilitations for a time.
   
==Notes==
+
===Daggers===
  +
*The Magick Archer is one of the few classes that can actually lock on to multiple targets. The Magick Archer is also able to perform a double-jump, like the [[Strider]], [[Assassin]] and [[Ranger]] vocations. The Magick Bow is also the only bow with a visually present lock-on targeting reticle. This, as well as the Magical Gleam skill, makes Magick Archers effective while fighting in darkness.
 
  +
* By combining [[Double Vault]] and [[Sunflare]] it is possible to extend the Arisen's jump further to land on otherwise unreachable ledges . For more details see [[Sunflare]].
* Because the Magick Archer, like the [[Mystic Knight]], uses both physical and magickal skills, the Magick Archer is not left without skills if subjected to [[Silence]] or [[Skill Stifling]].
 
  +
*[[Magick Rebalancer]] allows the Arisen to boost the entire party's [[Magick]] and [[Magick Defense]] with a similar effect to drinking both a [[Decoction of Bandlily]] and a [[Salomet's Secret]] at the same time - but with no heavy items to carry.
* The element of the Magick Bow has no effect on the element of its non-core skills, similar to the elements of spells cast with [[Staves|Staffs]] or [[Archistaves]] .
 
  +
* After felling a large enemy, such as a [[Cyclops]], it is possible to heal any grey health with the [[Scension]] based dagger spells whilst the corpse is decomposing.
*With the addition of [[Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen]], the stat growth for '''Magick Archers '''beyond level 100 has changed. Please note that the numbers in parenthesis are the updated stats.
 
   
  +
===Equipment===
==Tips and Tactics==
 
*[[Magick Rebalancer]] allows the Arisen to buff the entire party as often as needed ([[Magick]] and [[Magick Defense]] ), greatly improving the Magick Archer's damage output and that of the rest of the party. The increased Magick and Magick Defense pertains to Mages and Sorcerers and any physical fighter wielding a magick weapon either permanently enchanted or temporarily enchanted by a magic spell. This skill will stack up to four implementations. Note that potions granting the same effects count towards the maximum stack count of four. Pawns must stand or travel through the sigil to benefit from this dagger spell. If the Arisen switches from Daggers to Staff while Magick Rebalancer is in effect, its buffs will cancel on the Arisen, but will not cancel on Pawns.
 
* After felling a large enemy, such as a [[Cyclops]], it is possible to heal any grey health with the Magick Archer's dagger skill [[Scension]]/[[Grand Scension]] whilst the corpse is decomposing. This can be used in conjunction with [[Backfire]]/[[Immolation]] to take down enemies quickly and recoup lost health afterwards.
 
*In addition to their listed effect, each Magick Bow skill corresponds to an element, denoted by the color of the charging bolt and its targeting reticle. Combined with the Magick Archer's melee skills, it is very easy to wield all five elements at once and avoid relying on enchantments to maximize damage.
 
*Depending on the build of the Arisen, it may be a good idea to have at least two physical damage skills equipped in the player's dagger skill slots. This type of set up will allow the player to have well balanced physical and magical damage output, since [[Magick Bows]] can only inflict magickal damage. In addition, this set-up will serve as a useful fallback when [[Silence]]d during battle if no means to cure this debilitation is on hand.
 
*[[Sixfold Bolt]] causes ice damage and can easily freeze enemies susceptible to Ice. This spell, if aimed correctly, can one-shot-kill [[Saurians]], even at early levels when they would otherwise prove tough.
 
* [[Hunter Bolt]] evenly distributes its damage through its ten bolts. If there are not enough targets to fully lock on, the Magick Archer loses 10% of its full damage for each non-locked target for that shot.
 
*Although all Magick Bow spells can lock onto enemies at certain ranges, the effective range of a spell can be far greater than this limit. Enemies can, for instance, be sniped with [[Sixfold Bolt]] past the lock-on point. If struck with the main projectile, the target will still be hit by the additional projectiles despite lack of lock-on.
 
*[[Funnel Trail|Funnel ]] and [[Vortex Trail]] function like the [[Mystic Knight|Mystic Knight's]] [[Funnel Sigil|Funnel]]/[[Vortex Sigil]], but are more flexible due to their ability to use a living target or wall as a vortex source in addition to the ground.
 
*[[Shadowshackle]] combined with a [[Vortex Trail]] in its center make an easy trap for crowds of enemies.
 
**Shadowshackle will [[Torpor]] boss enemies in the circle instead of trapping them.
 
*[[Sacrificial Bolt]]/[[Great Sacrifice]] has a wide attack radius, meaning it can be used to dispose or damage crowds of enemies.
 
**Stamina decreases rapidly as time slows with [[Sacrificial Bolt]]/[[Great Sacrifice]] . Make sure a premeditated target is established beforehand together with sufficient stamina for the shot.
 
**It is important to note that [[Sacrificial Bolt]] and [[Great Sacrifice]] will instantly drop a pawn's health to zero when the spell is fully charged and will return pawns to the rift without a chance to revive them. This will happen whether the bolt is actually fired or if the bow is sheathed once the charge is complete. Be very careful if using this ability. The pawn is returned to the [[Rift]] with no opportunity to review, gift or comment, and the default rating of 3* damages the pawn's ranking and reputation.
 
**[[Sacrificial Bolt]] and [[Great Sacrifice]] are Dark-elemented attacks, therefore they are completely useless on the [[Ur-Dragon]]. It is not recommended to use this attack in the [[Chamber of Lament]] as the player will trade all the potential damage the sacrificed pawn could have inflicted for something that does not do very much damage.
 
*[[Explosive Rivet]] can ignite fire-susceptible enemies on impact. Up to four rivets may be deployed at a time. Follow up with Cutting Wind to detonate the embedded rivets.
 
* [[Ricochet Hunter]] is great for tight corridors. Since the bolts gain strength the more they bounce off surfaces, it is best to aim at a wall before loosing the shots. Remember the bolts are seekers so they will find a target even if you're not aiming directly at them. The bolts will not intentionally fly towards friendly NPCs; wild bolts may hit NPCs, but only if a target is not found and if the Arisen has extremely bad luck. Bolts disappear after a number of bounces, so no need for concern unless aiming directly at NPCs in'' ''Gran Soren.
 
*[[Magickal Flare]] can do minor damage to Undead and is useful to light an area from afar.
 
*Do not underestimate the value of [[Great Ward Arrow]]. It can be an invaluable asset against monsters who attempt to weaken your party.
 
*Combine [[Immolation]] with [[Hundred Kisses]] when climbing enemies to ignite them as well as maximize damage output. If possible, obtain Magick Archer and Daggerist's Rings/Bands to upgrade the skills to [[Flameshroud]] and [[Thousand Kisses]] to enhance the skills.
 
* The damage done by [[Backfire]]/[[Immolation]]/[[Flameshroud]] skills scale only with the player's total physical damage. The player's Magic damage value has no effect on the damage done by these skills.
 
* By combining [[Double Vault]] and [[Sunflare]] it is possible to extend the Arisen's jump further to land on otherwise unreachable ledges . However note that the Arisen will immediately propel downward and will not be able to grab onto a ledge unless Instant Reset is used before landing. [[Instant Reset]] can also be used to chain together more than one Sunflare. The following video uses a low resolution but it accurately conveys the technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE2EAipl9Wo
 
*Magick Bolt damage drops slightly at distance - though the effect is very minor compared to physical arrows - less than a 10% difference between very near and very far. Some skills such as [[Seeker Bolt]] are unaffected by distance.

MAGICK ARCHER

The Magick Archer is one of three Hybrid vocations in Dragon's Dogma. Hybrid vocations are exclusive to the Arisen, and cannot be learnt by Pawns. It costs 1,500 Discipline Points to switch to this vocation.


Overview

"A skilled explorer and well-balanced adventurer, able to wield a magick bow."

Magick Archer combines elements of Mage and Strider, allowing it to equip both Daggers and Staves as a primary weapon and has access to some armor and clothing suitable for both bow users and spellcasters. For its secondary weapon, Magick Archer has exclusive access to Magick Bows. Magick Archer has unique offensive and support spells that can be cast from all three weapon types.

Dragonsdogma magick archer

Magick Archer discharging magick arrows.

Magick Archer, being a hybrid of physical and magickal vocations, has a selection of weapon skills that utilize both Magick and Strength, though it leans more towards magick in terms of abilities.

  • For Magick, the Magick Bow and Staves rely on this stat for their magick arrows and weapon skills. In addition, this vocation also has exclusive access to a handful of dagger spells that also utilize Magick (with Backfire and its upgrades as an exception).
  • For Strength, melee attacks common to other Daggerist vocations, as well as Backfire based skills will use this stat.

A Magick Archer can be a powerful attacker in its own right, with access to some extremely effective spells, and the versatility to switch between magick- or strength-based skills and equipment as needed. However, its growth with experience is mostly defensively based, especially in Magick Defense. Magick growth is above average, but Defense growth is low, and Strength mediocre.

Additionally it can be effective as a non-healing support class. Magick Archer is able to provide debilitation resistances, magick power boosts, magick defense boosts, and set magick traps through its spells. It can even provide temporary light sources.

Non-Arisen Magick Archers

Pawns may not learn the Magick Archer vocation, though some other humans have done so. Ophis wields a Magick Bow, and some other more experience bandits, such as found in the Cursewood and in the Pastona Cavern have mastered the magick bow. Pawn's refer to such enemies as 'Sorcerers'.

In Dark Arisen, Corrupted Pawns in Bitterblack Isle may also be Magick Archers, as seen in The Pilgrim's Gauntlet.

Notes

  • Because the Magick Archer, like the Mystic Knight, uses both physical and magickal skills, the Magick Archer is not left without skills if subjected to Silence.
  • It is common to extensively level as Sorcerer (for Magick) and another Daggerist vocation (for Stamina and or Strength) before switching to Magick Archer.
  • Unlike other Vocations none of Dagger or Magick Bow skills exclusive to Magick Archer inherit debilitations from weapons used. Only Core skills are capable of inflicting debilitations.

Bows

  • Unlike physical bows, magick power and damage is generally unchanged with distance. However there can be a small change at very close range, such as with True Seeker, which has an approximately +20 increase in power at "shotgun" distances (<3m). Scaling with magick power is unchanged at these close distance.
  • An enchanted magick bow does not affect the properties of spell cast with it, similar to the elements of spells cast with Staffs or Archistaves. The exception is the core skill Seeker. All other bow spells are innately imbued with one of the Five Archmagicks, indicated by the color of the icon of the skill, charging bolt, and its targeting sigil.
  • Magick Archer bow spells are capable of "Locking On" to one or multiple targets via a targeting sigil, similar to staff spells. This together with the illumination provided by bow spells such as Magickal Flare makes Magick Archers effective while fighting in darkness.
    • Enemies can be sniped with magick bow spells beyond the targeting distance if correctly aimed.
    • Magick Bow damage is unaffected by distance, unlike physical bows.
    • The augment trajectory extends the range of the magick bow.
    • It is common for "Locked-On" projectiles to miss a highly nimble target (flying, jumping) at medium to close distance due to sudden loss of focus. Thus, it is generally advised to use Magick Bow skills from a far.
  • Sacrificial Bolt (or Great Sacrifice) has sufficient power to damage even usually magick resistant enemies, such as Golems.
  • Magickal Flare generally only damages Undead (including Skeletons and Ghosts), but has an additional use in providing a bright illumination.
  • Ward Arrow and related bow spells grant impervious, and so protect from all debilitations for a time.
