Overview
Basic Archery is one of 10 possible unique skills that can be obtained from Frogidi's Fortunes.
Basic Archery has 18 alternative colors which changes the color of the bow and the resulting trail of the arrow.
The timing for the Action Command is about a second after the bow was pulled out.
Succeeding the Action Command performs a 'Critical!' hit, increasing the amount of Damage dealt by 1.
Usage
Basic Archery deals a good amount of Damage and the addition to having
1 Defense piercing for a
0 SP cost skill.
Compared to other 0 SP cost skills, Punch deals similar overall
Damage, though Basic Archery is better against enemies with
Defense. Slap and Tough Vine Trap deal less
Damage, but inflict a status, though Basic Archery is generally better to finish off an enemy.
Most of the time, Basic Archery is used to fill in Damage when players want to regain
1 SP or if an enemy is in range of being finished off by Basic Archery.
Against Corruption 1 enemies, the enemy will all have at least
1 Defense, effectively raising Basic Archery by
1 Damage.
Against Corruption 2+ enemies, Basic Archery is still useful to fill in
Damage, but generally stronger skills are preferred to actually whittle the enemy down.
Overall, Basic Archery holds a spot for shooting down enemies on low HP and finishing them off for no
SP cost.
Trivia
