Archer Tier List

In Shining Beyond, players will get a chance to get acquainted to a lot of different characters. While choosing your favorite characters and building a team around them is the ideal way to enjoy the game, there will always be players who’ll want to get the best characters on their teams, either to breeze through the game’s single-player content or dominate the arena. These top-tier characters are also the target of certain players who Re-roll in the game. In this page, we’ll discuss the top Archer class heroes in the game. Please check out our dedicated Tier List pages for other classes.

Archers are the ranged DPS of the game. They have the 2nd fastest attack speed next to Rogues. While they excel at ranged combat, they’re pretty much vulnerable at melee range. That’s why having a Warrior/tank who can keep the enemies busy and keep the aggro away from them so they can be effective. They have access to the passive skill Devious Arts which increases their CRIT rate, allowing them to potentially deliver even more damage. At Skill Level 5, this passive gains a Knockback effect.

Shining Beyond has a lot of characters in the roster so for your convenience, we will just cover the top tier heroes in the game and will cover them in individual pages. Please check out our page for the Hero Rating system.

Artemis (SSR)

Artemis is the best archer in the game, which is reflected by her consistent high ranks among all categories in the Hero Rating system. Her first skill, Abyssal Soulseeker, casts three projectiles that deal damage while also disabling the reactive and auto-skills of the target. At Skill Level 6, this skill can also inflict Bleed on a target.

Her second skill, Black Barrier, can provide a protective shield to herself and party members that negates negative status effects. At Skill Level 6, this skill gains a second effect that negates a portion of the skill damage Artemis and her allies receive.

Artemis has two masteries: Arena and Undead. All masteries reduce the damage taken by the team against enemies on specific battle modes and enemies, while also increasing the team’s damage against them. On top of having Arena Mastery, Artemis’ skill-sealing skills and status effect barrier makes her a top choice for PvP team compositions.

Emiko (SSR)

Emiko is one of the top 10 choices for heroes that you should bring for Raid battles. Her first skill, Deal Breaker can poison an enemy while also debuffing them, increasing the damage they take from your team’s attacks. At Skill Level 6, this skill can also reduce the target's attack speed by at least 25%. Her second skill is Golden Touch, which can increase her or an ally’s ATK by 20%. At Skill Level 6, this skill also boosts the team's DEF as a second effect.

Emiko has two masteries: Tower and Elemental. All masteries reduce the damage taken by the team against enemies on specific battle modes and enemies, while also increasing the team’s damage against them.
