    Default Best way to take on ranged bosses with a pure dex bird?

    I've found that archers unfortunately have a tendency to die quickly before ranged archer bosses. What's the best way to take them on as a dex bird?

    Umm, let the bear go in first as he is your tank and is supposed to be taking the damage, then you debuff the heck out of the ranged boss with arrows like blind shot, break armor, and your team should be doing the same. The boss should go down pretty quick after that.

    I was thinking if you don't have a bear. Updated initial post.

    I've been in situations where there's often myself, and a bunch of other archers, or just mages and birds.

    I have experienced similar problems.

    My strategy is to kite, kite and kite some more! If the boss is an archer or mage though you're pretty much screwed.

    In addition, a combination of blinding shot and evade works wonders on avoiding most attacks.

    Keep one finger over the red bottle. Use an auto-crossbow for better range. If your range is better than his, root him and step back.

    I stand right on top of him and scream and debuff the heck out of him and of course, have finger over red pots.
