Archer’s Leaked Gameplay Details
According to trusted leaker Luna, Archer is shaping up to be a Skill Point–driven Quantum DPS, rewarding players who build teams to fuel his burst potential.
Key rumored details:
- Main Role: Quantum Hypercarry
- Mechanic: Uses Skill Points to ramp up his damage
- Team Synergy: Works best with supports who provide SP or boost SP cap
While we don’t have his exact skill descriptions just yet, the teaser trailer focused on Saber, leaving Archer’s kit under wraps for now. Still, this leak paints a clear picture of his potential playstyle: fast, skill-reliant, and burst-heavy.
Best Teams for Archer (Based on Leaks)
If the rumors are true, Archer will slot in perfectly with several current meta characters. Some standout synergies include:
- Sparkle (Quantum Support): Provides Skill Points and boosts the team’s cap—ideal for Archer’s SP-hungry kit.
- Bronya: Boosts ATK and turn manipulation for more frequent nukes.
- Ruan Mei: Adds Weakness Break support and overall DPS amplification.
- Tingyun: Enhances Energy Regen and damage for hypercarries like Archer.
This could make Archer a central figure in Quantum team comps and an appealing freebie for both new and veteran players.
