The Ranger is a ranged damage dealer specializing in mobility and precision attacks. Rangers excel at neutralizing enemies from distance while maintaining options for close-quarters combat when necessary.
The class was playable in the first Closed Beta Test from June 20-22, 2025. In the current meta, Rangers rank among the top damage dealers while remaining accessible to players with decent aim.

Rangers draw upon Vigor, described as a lifeforce representing their connection to nature. Vigor regenerates naturally over time and through movement.
The resource loop involves shooting, dodging, and repositioning to maintain Vigor regeneration. This encourages a mobile playstyle rather than standing still.
Rangers and Assassins are the only two classes that use Vigor as their primary resource.
The precision weapon for elemental damage. Supports fire, poison, and ice arrow effects. Slow at lower levels but scales well into late game.
Best used for single-target damage and group battles where the elemental effects can spread. Requires charge time for maximum damage.
The sustained DPS weapon. High rate of fire with forgiving aim mechanics. No charge time required.
Headshots receive damage multipliers. The special mechanic allows evasive maneuvers while firing. Smooth transitions into melee with Rapier make this weapon versatile.
The melee fallback weapon. High evasion with skills split between critical damage and damage-over-time builds.
Does not consume class resources for basic attacks, making it reliable when Vigor runs low. Use when enemies breach your range.
Mastering the Ranger means managing spacing. Begin engagements at range with Crossbow or Bow for poke damage, then pivot to Rapier when enemies close the gap.
The dual-weapon system allows hybrid playstyles. Crossbow provides consistent damage, Bow offers utility and crowd control, Rapier handles emergencies.
Dual Hand Crossbows as primary with Bow for AoE utility and crowd control. Consistent damage output with flexibility.
Bow as primary with Rapier for close encounters. Higher skill ceiling but better single-target damage.
Each weapon has eight available abilities with four active at any given time. Abilities unlock through weapon mastery trees as you use each weapon.
Class-specific skills unlock at levels 10, 15, and 20 of Class Mastery.
