The Ultimate Guide to Quantum Ranger: Optimizing Damage Output for Archer in Honkai: Star Rail


《Genshin Impact: Stellar Rail》Archer Character Guide: The Ultimate DPS Guide for Quantum Ranger
In the vast expanse of Stellar Rail, a figure streaks across like a meteor, delivering breathtaking burst damage. This is Archer, the brand-new character in《Genshin Impact: Stellar Rail》. As a 5-star Quantum-type Ranger, he stands out among numerous characters with his unique combat mechanics. This guide will provide a detailed analysis of Archer’s attributes, including Resonance choices, Relic combinations, and team compositions, helping you get ahead in version 3.4 and become a game master.
Archer’s combat system is full of mechanical complexity and beauty. By frequently casting skills, he can create astonishing damage bursts. As long as he has at least 2 Skill Points (SP) or his Elemental Skill usage hasn’t reached the 5-time limit, he can consecutively release Elemental Skills in the same turn, dealing devastating damage. Each time he casts his Ultimate, he gains 2 stacks of “Charge,” triggering an auto-attack and restoring 1 Skill Point. This unique mechanism makes him the core DPS of the team.
Priority Recommendations for Talents:
Main Talent: ★★★★★
Elemental Skill: ★★★★
Ultimate: ★★★
Talent: ★★
Normal Attack: ★
Archer’s combat style determines his talent priority. The main talent is the foundation of his damage output, as crucial as sunshine; the Elemental Skill is his core damage method and should be maxed out first; the Ultimate’s high damage multiplier is equally important; talents enhance his auto-attack damage, helping to finish off enemies with low HP; while Normal Attack is the least important in his damage system, and is rarely used unless Skill Points are less than 6.
