You start with two basic attack forms.
One aims automatically, but deals less damage.
Use unaimed shots for quick enemies you have trouble tracking or weak foes that take little effort to defeat.
Aimed shots should be your choice for every other encounter, especially against bosses.
The downside to all this is that it’s possible for you to’t target most of your special shots.
Good luck building the best Archer possible in Dragon’s Dogma 2!
