Top Damage Build for Archer in Halls of Torment

Archer is not quite the early-game character, so I had to wait it out until I got some cool items and blessings.

You will have to grind out some stuff but I believe it’s well worth it due to all of the numbers that you’ll accomplish.

Best Items for Archer in Halls of Torment

• Head – Wind Crown (It’s a BiS, or Best in Slot), and no other item is worth taking. If you stumble upon another Head item during the run, take it for the final boss fight because you won’t really gain the Wind Crown bonus.
• Neck – Jade Amulet is brilliant, but Collar of Confidence is something to consider, too.
• Rings – There’s a lot to choose from here. Guiding Star > Seal of Rebirth > Echoing Band > Wooden Ring > Copper Ring > Iron Ring.
• Chest – Hunter’s Garb > Blood-Soaked Shirt based on the runs I did with Archer.
• Feet – Runner Shoes. That is all.
• Hands – Hunting Gloves > Thornfists > Quickhand Gloves.
