Do not be fooled by Archer’s initial appearance. Though they might seem like a weak and slow character to the untrained eye, giving Archer the proper tools will essentially turn them into a machine gun (that runs of arrows, though) on your team. If you are looking for the Best Archer Build for Halls of Torment, I’ve got you covered, and I’ll be more than glad to go through my build in detail, which has given me quite some results.
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. Trust me on this, you’ll make a rain of arrows, pretty similar to the one in this scene of the movie “Hero”. 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.
