Playing this class

Bow Knight gives an archer more firing positions: base Movement 7, mounting, sword access, and Bow Hit +10. Compared with Bow Adept, it follows a moving frontline better, while mastery Hunter’s Cross works against varied targets.

Bow Knight’s exam screen shows Riding D and Bow A at lower left, with growth comparisons and available abilities on the right. Check both proficiencies before the mounted model.

Who benefits

  • Lilian follows Hunter → Archer → Forest Knight → Bow Knight. Use mobility to find positions enemies cannot counter from, with her personal ability improving Hit.
  • Halvin can use Brigand for Strength before Forest Knight and Bow Knight. Benditz can also switch from Forest Knight, but gives up chariot-only personal benefits.
  • Peter can train through the bow path and ride Red Hare for Canto. With spare resources, briefly use Brigand for Strength first.

Training

Recommended level is 45, with Bow A and Riding D. Restore Kalla’s temple, accept “Kalla’s Request” at the main temple, explore Brigadia Ridge for one White Sandalwood, then deliver it to unlock the class.

Growth bonuses are Strength +10, Speed +15, and Dexterity +10. The class grants Combat Arts +2. Canto comes from a mount ability, not reclassing itself. Bow Hit +10 works only with a bow equipped and disappears when switching to a sword.

When to use it

Choose Bow Knight to switch flanks often or reach distant targets. Choose Bow Adept for dedicated anti-flier work and pure bow accuracy.

Hunter’s Cross is an active bow art with Might +8, Hit +20, and Crit +10, useful for a crucial shot. Learn it along the way rather than build the whole strategy around it.
