Revision 2

The Blackarrow is the dedicated ranged hunter among the six classes in Mistfall Hunter, fighting at distance with the bow and arrow as its exclusive weapon. You will also see the class written as Black Arrow in the reveal videos; it is the same fighter under two spellings. On the Classes page it sits as the bow specialist, and where the Mercenary muscles into a fight, the Blackarrow stays back and picks targets apart.

The bow branches into two archetypes, the Archer and the Hunter, and the two play very differently despite sharing the same weapon.

Archer

The Archer fires fully charged arrows that come with strong energy recovery, which gives the class real staying power in a drawn-out fight. That sustain pairs with a Mysticfly Arrow detonation mechanic to unload heavy burst damage when the moment is right, so the Archer alternates between feeding its own resources and spiking for a big hit.

Hunter

The Hunter is built around an ailment system instead. Its various debuff arrows apply strong status effects, and landing basic attacks extends how long those debuffs last. That stacking loop magnifies the build's damage over time and its crowd-control reach, making the Hunter the option for wearing enemies down and locking them in place rather than bursting them outright.

Archetypes at a glance

Second weapon

The Blackarrow's second weapon category did not make the launch build. The developers confirmed it slipped because of development timelines and will arrive in a later season, so the bow and its two archetypes are the class's complete kit at release. No details about what that weapon will be have been shared. For the two-weapon stance system this fits into, see Combat and Weapons.
