Archer Skills Symphony： High Burst Perfect Execution

Melodies on the Astral Railroad: Archer’s Exquisite Symphony
In the vast expanse of the Astral Railroad, Archer stands as a masterful conductor, using his combat skills as notes to compose a glorious symphony in the orchestra of battle. As a highly anticipated 5-star Quantum Attribute Ranger character in Genshin Impact: Astral Railroad, and serving as the main DPS, his combat style resembles a meticulously designed symphony. Each skill he casts is like a leaping note, ultimately coming together to form a crescendo of high-damage output.
Archer’s combat mechanism is nothing short of brilliant. He can frequently cast skills, unleashing multiple combat skills in a single turn to deliver astonishing burst damage. As long as his Skill Points (SP) are at least 2 or his combat skill usage hasn’t reached 5 times, he can continue casting skills repeatedly until he reaches his limit. Each time he uses his Ultimate, he gains 2 layers of “Charge,” which automatically triggers follow-up attacks when allies attack enemies and restores 1 SP. This unique mechanism infuses his combat style with rhythm and strategic depth.
In his combat system, teamwork is crucial. Allies must act first to generate enough SP for him or provide damage amplification effects. This exquisite coordination is like the different movements of a symphony, echoing and complementing each other to create a perfect melody. His skill chaining mechanism allows him to cast skills repeatedly as long as his SP is at least 2 or he hasn’t used 5 skills in a row. This repeated use increases skill damage, stacking up to 2 times, making his burst output in a single turn particularly impressive.
When cultivating Archer, SP management is key. His combat efficiency largely depends on whether the player can effectively manage the team’s SP resources. Therefore, in terms of Priority selection, Main Story is the top choice, followed by Combat Skills, Ultimate, Talents, and Normal Attacks. Normal Attacks are almost irrelevant unless the current SP is less than 6 points, so they have the lowest priority.
In terms of Resonance selection, “Ideal Burning Hell” is the best choice. It not only increases the critical hit rate but also provides attack bonuses when entering combat and after casting skills, offering strong support for Archer’s output. “Stellar Cruise” and “Until We Meet Again at the End” are also excellent choices. The former provides critical hit rate bonuses equivalent to his exclusive Resonance when fully stacked, while the latter increases critical damage and skill/Ultimate damage.
For Relic selection, “Brilliant Star Genius” and “Scholar Lost in the Ocean of Knowledge” are the best options. The former increases Quantum Attribute damage, while the latter boosts critical hit rate and skill/Ultimate damage. For Dimensional Jewelry, “Stellar Arena” is the most suitable choice, as it increases critical hit rate and further enhances Normal Attack and skill damage when the critical hit rate reaches 70%.
In team recommendations, Hanabi is the most compatible character with Archer. Her mechanism increases the team’s maximum skill cap, which can stack with Archer’s Main Story effect. Additionally, her 50% action speed boost, while not ideal for most Main DPS systems, suits Archer well—he naturally prefers to act slower, waiting for the team to accumulate enough SP before unleashing multiple skill attacks. Plus, Hanabi’s ability to provide attack bonuses to Quantum Attribute teammates makes her an ideal partner for Archer.
Overall, Archer is a character whose intricate combat style and strategic depth make him a standout figure on the Astral Railroad.
