The Ranger is the mobile damage dealer. He dodges, counters and looks for the right moment for his strongest hits.
With the Hatchet he fights fast and close; with the Longbow he keeps his distance and works towards critical hits against a marked target.
Strengths
- Fights close or at range depending on the weapon
- Lots of mobility through dodges and counters
- The Longbow rewards patient play with critical hits
