War of Genesis: Idle Loot Archer class

Archer is the ranged class tab in War of Genesis: Idle Loot. Combat is still automatic: the desktop overlay draws, crits, and walks stages without a click from you. The tab still matters because Hunter Bow is an Archer weapon, and a Swordsman toast will tell you so. Steam Early Access began 10 September 2026. Use this page for the bow lock, the ranged tree, and the gold you should not scatter across three mains.

Read Swordsman and Mage before you fuse every quiver. The Classes Hub covers named heroes. Opening-week role ranks live on the class tier list.

Hunter Bow and the class lock

Official desktop shots show the overlay fighting on a lake stage with a toast that the current hero cannot use Hunter Bow. That is the cleanest proof that weapons are class-locked. If you are on Archer, Hunter Bow is a legal main-hand. If you are on Swordsman, the client refuses it. A Wooden Quiver can trip the same rule as a ranged sub-weapon. Do not dismantle a good bow just because the wrong tab is selected; swap the class or store the item.

Community Market listings already show other bows, including Hellfire Bow (a Tier 4, Lv.30 weapon in early catalogs). Ranger-named armor also appears in those lists. The hard lock you can quote today is the weapon family: Hunter Bow is Archer gear, and melee cannot wear it.

Community datamine and companion catalogs list 1,800+ items across 14 slots and tiers 1–6. Feed the bow and quiver first. Let blacksmith synthesis chew duplicate armor. If a roll is too good to fuse, the Steam Marketplace guide covers listing cost in Diamonds.

Automatic combat on a ranged tab

You do not kite. You do not aim. Archer still changes the AFK loop because the auto-attack comes from range and the skill tree is the ranged one. Community DPS companions track attack speed, crit, normal-attack DPS, and skill DPS, and they often split mob sweeping from boss killing. Treat those tools as calculators, not as an official rank. Opening week, Archer is the class people try when they want stages to die without walking into every pack.

That does not make Archer gospel for World Boss, Alliance Raids, or Arena. Single-target bosses may prefer a melee or caster burst tree. Rank by role on the class tier list, and expect the order to move.

Skill trophies fire at Lv.35 / 65 / 95. Training gold should not be dumped into Archer until this is the main you will still wear when user Lv.70 roster slots open. Character tiers 4 / 5 / 6 are named-hero grades, not extra classes.

Named heroes, Jane Shore, and the wrong screenshot

Ice Pendragon (white hair) is shown with all three class tabs. That portrait is a named hero you equip; it does not make Archer a Swordsman. Jane Shore (red hair) appears next to the Arena panel while the overlay prints fire crits and a loot toast for Hunter Boots. That screenshot does not show her class tab. This wiki does not assign Jane Shore to Archer. Hunter Boots are a drop name, not proof of her tab. Collect portraits if you like the models. Train one class tree.

Loadouts and the swap tax

Steam reviewers already flagged the missing quality-of-life: switching characters currently means re-setting weapons and skills. There are no character-specific loadouts. If you bounce between Archer and Mage to test Hunter Bow versus a staff, budget time to rebuild the grid.

Pets, wings, runes, and magitech gear have their own tiers 4–6. They ride on the account, not on the bow. Rank them on pets, wings, runes, and magitech after the ranged weapon is legal.

Put the tab on Archer before you socket a Hunter Bow. Keep melee swords in storage or on the market; they belong to Swordsman. Hold Training gold until you will not reroll.
