Charred Marksman

Charred Marksman is an aggressive skeletal archer found among the Ashlands’ charred forces. It is a ranged threat rather than a melee one, using a longbow to pressure players from a distance and punish anyone who stays in the open. Like other charred enemies, it is built around precision and sustained ranged fire, making cover and movement important when fighting it.

It has two distinct attacks. At close to mid range, it nocks a single arrow and fires a shot that deals 90 Pierce damage. This attack has a 2-second cooldown, can be used within 20 meters of a player, and the arrow travels at an initial speed of 40 meters per second before disappearing after up to 4 seconds. The shot can deviate by 2–20 degrees, with an additional random spread of up to 2 degrees.

At longer range, the Charred Marksman performs a volley attack: it aims 25 degrees upward, draws back, and fires ten arrows toward the player, each dealing 60 Pierce damage. This volley has a 4-second cooldown and can be used when the player is between 20 and 100 meters away. Each arrow in the volley has a random initial speed between 20 and 40 meters per second, lasts up to 4 seconds, and can spread by up to 12 degrees.

Because of its long-range pressure, the Charred Marksman is most dangerous when it has clear lines of sight. Its single-shot attack is fast and punishing at close distances, while the volley can flood an area with projectiles when fought at range. Staying behind terrain, closing distance carefully, or forcing it to reposition helps reduce the amount of incoming fire.

Charred Marksmen drop a small amount of loot on defeat. Depending on star level, they can drop 1–2, 2–4, or 4–8 items, with the listed drop chance remaining 5% across all shown star variants.
