Best Ranger build in Dark Envoy

The Ranger is the most consistent ranged DPS unit in the game as its damage comes primarily from normal attacks and passive skills. Based on that, the best Ranger build in Dark Envoy involves creating a Gunslinger with high Might and Speed stats to deal as much DPS as possible.

Attributes

The best attributes for the Ranger class are Might and Speed. Might will allow you to deal as much damage as possible, while Speed grants you the tools to use your abilities more often and be more agile overall.

Secondarily, you can spend extra points on Power for more skill damage or on Endurance if you need more defensive stats.

Best Ranger class skills

The best Ranger class skills in Dark Envoy focus on increasing auto attack and AoE damage and are the following:

  • Toxic Bomb: Throws a toxic bomb that deals high damage and damage over time
  • Wind Stance: Increase Attack Speed and, if used again before its duration ends, also increase Critical Hit Chance
  • Amplify Poison (passive): Deal extra damage to poisoned enemies
  • Phantom Roll: Dash away and leave a phantom that attacks enemies at your initial location
  • Fire Rain: Shoot a rain of fire arrows in the marked area

The Toxic Bomb and Amplify Poison combo is your main damage-dealing skill and will allow you to take down grouped enemies easily. Additionally, Wind Stance should be used whenever possible as the Attack Speed is extremely helpful, while Fire Rain is a solid AoE damage skill. Lastly, Phantom Roll is your get-out-of-jail card, if enemies ever get close to you.

Best Gunslinger specialization skills

Overall, the best specialization for the Ranger is the Gunslinger, as it combines high damage and mobility. The best Gunslinger specialization skills are the following:

  • Concentrated Fire (passive): Gain Critical Hit Damage equal to your Critical Hit Chance
  • Commando (passive): Deal extra attack speed while holding two weapons
  • Steely Resolve (passive): Gain extra weapon damage for 30 seconds whenever an enemy dies near you
  • Bullet Storm: Teleport to the target location and fire bullets continuously around you while gaining 100% dodge chance for the duration
  • Frag Grenade: Fire an explosive grenade that deals high damage

With the Concentrated Fire, Commando, and Steely Resolve passives, the Gunslinger deals phenomenal damage as long as your build has enough Critical Hit Chance and you’re using two weapons. Bullet Storm is a great AoE damage skill that also works as a teleport, while Frag Grenade can be spammed for extra damage.

To wrap up this best Ranger build guide in Dark Envoy, choose the Gunslinger specialization and prioritize skills that increase auto-attack and AoE damage while also having at least one skill to escape tricky situations.
