Here's a FAQs, tips, and guide for the arcade and action mobile game - Archero, to help newbies learn how to play the game and get stronger.
The aim of the game is to level up, learn skills, and defeat all monsters and Bosses, clear stages to unlock new Chapters or areas, strengthen your character with new weapons, gears, accessories and pets, and more.
General Battle Tips
Character Movement and Attacks
- Your character will always attack the nearest enemy that can be targeted, and will lock on to it until you move or when it's dead.- Move then stop again to quickly re-target to the nearest available target.
Weapons
- Weapons used by your character will also affect your overall game play style, check out all weapons and use what you think is best for you.Skills or Abilities

Enemy Movement and Attack Patterns
- Learn attack patterns of your enemies including their attack cool-downs/delays/pattern/animation, move speed, and range, but just use enough movements while dodging to keep attacking.- Use walls or obstacles as cover from enemy attacks, but be careful with those that can penetrate walls.
- If you are having trouble dodging them, try to get some defensive type skills, next time.
How To Recover or Increase HP?
- Angel NPC (Heal): Partially restores your HP (always available).- Leveling Up will restore some HP.
- Sometimes, defeating monsters will give you HP Recovery item drops (Red Hearts).
- Mimics (chest monster before boss battles) always drops Red Hearts.
- Defeating stage Bosses also recovers some of your HP.
- From Lucky Wheels (random; after boss fights).
- Learning HP+ Boost skills.
- Devil NPC (Life +1): You gain extra life for your adventure (random skill).
Other Ways To Strengthen Your Character
Talents
- Talents can permanently increase your ability!
- Grind, then upgrade your talents to get stronger.
How To Grind Faster? (Player Lvl)
- Play newest chapter and complete stages that you can (the more, the better). Playing previous Chapters would give you less EXP even if you complete all 50 stages.Character Customization
Equipment and Pets
- Equip weapons/armors that you like to use depending on your play style, but if you are able to get a stronger weapon, try to use that instead.- Note that higher rarity weapons and gears will get a unique set of bonus stats.
- Accessories: I would suggest Serpent Rings and/or Bear Rings since ground and ranged enemies are very common than Airborne or Melee types.
- Pets: I would suggest that you go for Pets that can attack enemies behind walls like Living Bombs or Laser Bat for example. These pets are also really helpful for taking down flying enemies that can fly and stay above walls.
How To Farm or Get Gears and Pets
- Farm from Stages- Dropped by any Bosses and regular Monsters (random gear/pet and rarity).
- Mysterious Vendor
- Buy from the Mysterious Vendor that appears randomly after clearing a stage. He sells Scrolls, Gears and Pets that can be purchased with Coins and/or Gems.
- Shop: Golden Chest
- Free every 24 hours or spend 60~50 Gems per draw (60 > 50 > 50 and so on).
- Shop: Obsidian Chest
- Free every after 7 Days.
- Use Gems here (or buy specific gears from the Mysterious Vendor). After your first draw, you'll get a discount for the next ones, so plan ahead if you like (300 > 280 > 260 > 260 and so on).
-*Free Chest Keys are also available from Stage Rewards (chest), after clearing certain stages.
Upgrading Gears
- Scrolls- Dropped by Monsters: Used for upgrading Gears and Pets.
- Buy from the Mysterious Vendor that appears randomly after clearing a stage. It's best to use your Coins here if you have extra.
- Unlock "Time Reward" under Talents to unlock new feature where you can earn free Scrolls overtime.
- Gears are easy to upgrade up to Lvl 10~15 early game, go for "Great" rarity gears and pets for now until you can get better ones later on.
Fusing Gears and Pets
- Fusing gears (same rarity and item/pet name), will increase the rarity of the base item.- Higher rarity will get higher max upgrade Lvl, and will also get a new bonus stat (Rare and Epic only).
