Sniping Ranger

Specialty

The Sniping Ranger's specialty is her long bow. Her aim, even from a great distance, always rings true. Her superhuman speed and a little magic thrown in for good measure gives her the ability to fill the sky with arrows, skewering anything caught in the flurry. While great in a party, she can still handle most situations all by herself.

Background

As an archer, one must always be careful when shooting their arrows. During her travels, Rena decided to improve her archery skills, so she asked Lenphad to make her a new bow so that she is able to use new attacks and enhance her battles with faster and quicker arrows. Training her speed and accuracy gave her the title, Sniping Ranger.


First Class Advancement

Sniping Ranger can also be obtained by using the Cash Shop item: Sniping Ranger's Spirit

Rena is required to be Lv15 to begin her first class advancement.
After completing the Ranger quest chain, Rena can decide between advancing as Sniping Ranger, Combat Ranger, or Trapping Ranger.

Trivia

  • She is erroneously listed as having the highest DPS and highest damage with a single strike along with possessing high mp regeneration capabilities in the guide on the official NA site.
    • She actually possesses a relatively low DPS relative to other characters, and while her burst damage with a single skill is among the highest it is still exceeded by others, most notably Shelling Guardian.
    • It is also well known that she actually has one of the hardest times generating MP as she does not possess any efficient non-knockdown physical combos, it is not until Grand Archer that she gains anyway to increase her MP generation.
