ADVENTURE GUIDE / BUILDS
Tumbleshot ranged build
A close-range shooting setup built around rolling shots, critical-hit arrow recovery, evasion and support artifacts.

Overview and reasons to try

The flute supports critical hits, the banner supports offense and the mandolin supports defense. Reserve support for the moments that need it while watching arrows and souls.
- Choose equipment by its role in shooting, evasion, arrow recovery and defense.
- Each position includes offensive and defensive alternatives.

Key enchantments and reasons
The equipment details list enchantments for different playstyles. Choose replacements by the role they serve.
Healing Smite
An option for healing support on kills. Boss fights with few adds offer fewer healing opportunities.
Ricochet
Choose it to bounce shots between multiple enemies. Other effects can suit fights with widely separated targets.
Tumbleshot
The core of a rolling-shot playstyle. Keep a safe place to roll to.
Critical Quiver
Supports arrow recovery through critical hits. Balance it with ordinary shooting and watch your ammunition.
Ancient Alchemy
Soul replenishment when using potions, supporting artifact resource costs.
Choosing equipment for the situation
Critical hits and arrow recovery
Critical Quiver handles arrow recovery from critical hits. Pair it with flute support while also making room for arrow pickups and ordinary shooting.
If ammunition is tight, alternatives such as Sharpshooter Spurs can increase carrying capacity.
Offensive alternatives
Warrior Drums can replace the mandolin when attack speed is the priority. This removes defensive support, so take care when approaching enemies.
For the boots enchantment, choose between Tumbleshot for rolling shots and Ancient Alchemy for soul replenishment.
Survival and soul support
Humbler Antenna is an option against boss damage, while Warding Chimes offers defensive support during approaches.
Soul capacity and gathering serve different roles. Capacity alone does not necessarily cover ongoing artifact costs.
How to play
- Check arrows and souls before approaching, and leave yourself a safe roll destination.
- Alternate ordinary shots and rolling shots. Choose Ricochet for groups of enemies.
- When support expires or arrows run low, retreat and switch to manual shooting or the backup melee weapon.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Situations where you want to move while shooting.
- Fights that call for switching between group shooting and a backup melee weapon.
Limitations
- Close-range positioning requires an escape route in terrain where enemies can surround you.
- Sustained arrow and soul consumption requires replenishment and changes in support use.
Alternative equipment
Open each equipment position for alternatives. Choose by the role you want to improve: offense, arrows, souls or defense.
