Ketta

The Ranger is the main ranged damage class, obtained early in game just after Berserkers. You meet the Ranger in the Coliseum shortly after being arrested. The hero for this class is Ketta.

Description[]

This class has the longest range of all the classes. However, she also has a significant deadzone where she cannot attack if the enemy is too close. So you either have to place her outside reach of attacking foes or behind melee and other classes. This can be difficult in some maps, as the best location for them is the very centre of the map and a number of maps, particularly late game, do not always give this choice of position. To make up for their lack of a melee weapon they wear Light Armour allowing a little berth of placement, though they should still avoid front line placement. Either way, Rangers are a supporting role class through and through and often an essential one.

Their strongest aspect is their incredible range. Depending on how the player levels a Ranger, they can end up covering most of the map. This allows them to cover several lanes at once and multiple Rangers can send dozens of projectiles across the map at ones.

As a result of their large range, their attack is lower then most other classes and after the Healer they are the second least effective fighter. Their lack of strength is particularly noticeable late game where it can take a larger number of shots to down a foe that a unit like the Knight or Dragon can often down in 1 strike (boss enemies noted aside).

Their attacks can be boasted with the Bleed ability, which although is lower then the Berserker Class bleed, is excused by the sheer chances to cause Bleeding compared to the Berserker. They can also be leveled with Armour piercing and have Poison. Given that these 3 attributes are applied to all attacks and the fact after boasting they are almost constantly tossing out attacks once foes enter their range,the Ranger can inflect a number of negative attributes to a wide range of foes, hounding them relentlessly down lanes as they approach Azra until the melee units can finish them off.

They are available for recruiting at Karsk, Laksos, The Monastery, The Hospital, Guard's Hideout and Ghost Town.
