    Increases marksmen range by 10%.

  • Sharp Projectiles

    2 points

    Increases marksmen base damage by 10%.

  • Perfect Shots

    3 points

    Game text: "Increases marksmen base damage by 15% against blocked or stunned enemies." In battle it applies to the arrows and bolts of the Archer Garrison, Elven Elite Ranger and Cursed Crossbows; the Cursed Bolt and the Sentry Watchtower shots do not get it.

  • Deadeye

    3 points

    Game text: "Each shot has a 12% chance of dealing double damage." In battle it works only for the Archer Garrison and Elven Elite Ranger; Cursed Crossbows and Sentry Watchtower shots never deal double damage. A Woodland Trick arrow that deals double damage also does so with its ricochets.

  • Exposed Vitals

    3 points

    Game text: "Marksmen attacks deal maximum damage to unarmored enemies." In battle it applies to the arrows and bolts of the Archer Garrison, Elven Elite Ranger and Cursed Crossbows; the Cursed Bolt and the Sentry Watchtower shots do not get it.
