Overview

Basic Archery is one of 10 possible unique skills that can be obtained from Frogidi's Fortunes. Players can spend 10 Tokens at Frogidi's Fortunes for a chance to obtain the skill. Succeeding the Action Command performs an 'Excellent!!!' hit, increasing the Damage dealt.

The Basic Archery skill has several alternative colours from Frogidi's Fortunes, which changes the trail of the arrow. This can be done by going to the Skill's options after getting it on the 10-skill roll from the fortune teller for 100 tokens.

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 don't want to use SP and 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.
