Okay so I'm new to this game, and I started off with a Veno cause my friend had one already, and she kinda guided me through it. My Veno is at 14, but consistently does like X3 the damage than my Archer, who is around the same level. Plus, my archer dies very often or I have to consume LOTS of potions. My fighting technique doesn't seem...right?

I shoot my arrow, and I do decent damage as the enemy is far away. Then as it approaches, I do like half my usual damage. Then I have to spam potions while I get hit badly and hardly do any damage whatsoever. I tried shooting in mid-air, but my MP runs out really soon or the enemy runs away and re-gains all its HP.

What am I doing wrong? All help would be appreciated!

    What build are you using? Don't put any points into Mag, and try to do 1 str per level. The rest should mainly be dex and a bit of vit here and there.

    Try to always use the highest level weapon you can and try to keep your armour up to date.

    Remember that you do less damage with a ranged weapon in close combat, so try to kite a bit with ice arrow and knockback arrow.

    I have this as my build:
    Vit = 1/2 of current level
    Mag = 5
    Str = Just enough to wear equipment
    Dex = Rest of the points

    But thank you very much for the tips :D
