Overview
A ranged specialist whose quiver and arrow production excel at distance, but who is fragile and poor in melee. This is an Origin supplied by the installed add-on and is included alongside the full character encyclopaedia.
Strength
Stronger ranged combat, quiver storage and more efficient arrow production.
Trade-off
Three fewer hearts and severely reduced non-projectile attack damage.
Natural role
Railway scout, lookout or expedition marksman.
Playstyle
Railway scout, lookout or expedition marksman. Its advantages change ordinary routes, businesses and expeditions rather than existing only as a combat stat.
Starting out
Obtain a bow and fletching-table supply chain quickly; avoid fights where enemies close distance.
