What Are The Best Ranged Builds in Albion Online?

Ranged builds are preferred by some players. With a ranged build, you can battle from a distance, deal a lot of damage, and escape danger more frequently than with a melee build. Choosing a solid build is difficult because there are several ranged weapons in the game. You must choose a good build that complements your playstyle.

These are the Top 5 Albion Online Best Ranged Builds:

5. King of 1v1

The Poisoned Arrow (Q3) is the superior (Q) ability. It deals a little instant damage but good DOT. Use it off cooldown.

Enchanted Quiver (E) increases your auto-attack damage and attack speed for the next 18 auto-attacks (stacks up to 7 times). It begins to reduce the enemy's resistance to damage once it reaches its maximum stack.

The Mercenary Jacket, Martlock Cape, Roast Pork, and Resistance Potions are your defensive items.

3. The Mighty Staff of Testes

Ava Roads Solo PVP Is INSANE w/ NEW Arcane Staff Build!

You woke up and decided to be a giga Chad, so you gathered your balls from the attic and felt brave enough to go to the Avalonian Roads alone. After thinking for a while, you come to the conclusion that 1 ball is sufficient, so install one of your balls on a staff. It turned out to be one of the strongest weapons. And kids, that’s how Arcane Staff was made.

The Chain Missile (Q1) shoots a projectile that deals quite a bit of damage and jumps on the closest enemy (up to 3 different targets) that deals less damage. It applies Arcane charges that deal additional damage if you deal direct damage to that enemy.

Enigma Blade (W1) is a 2-combination ability. The first one conjures a magical blade that deals huge AOE damage. You can carry on with the combination if you hit just one enemy. The second one enables you to blink anywhere within an 8-meter range.

Arcane Orb (E) fires a projectile that silences enemies, deals decent AOE damage, and removes all of their buffs (apart from healing effects).

The Mage Cowl, Keeper Cape, Muisak, and Pork Omelette are your offensive items.

The Mercenary Jacket and Resistance Potions are your defensive items.

How to use this build:

Keep your distance from the enemy. Use (D) and auto-attack -->(Q)-->(W)-->(E). Use (R) when you need healing and attack the enemy to lifesteal.

2. Staff of Death

The Most Powerful CURSED STAFF Build In Albion Online 2022

The Cursed Staff is the best option for you if you have the patience and discipline and if you like longer battles.

Vile Curse (Q1) shoots a projectile to a target that deals low impact damage but applies Vile charges (deals good DOT, stacks up to 4 times). Use Cursed Sickle (Q2) for PvE. It throws a sickle that returns to you after a distance traveled. It deals low instant damage but applies two Vile charges to all the enemies hit.

Your second ability is Grudge (W3). It enchants you or your ally for 10 seconds. The amount of time you wait before attacking affects how much damage is dealt by your auto-attack. To deal max damage, wait 2 seconds between auto-attacks. It is a good choice for small-scale PvP to use desecrate (W2) AOE roots and apply Vile Curse charge to enemies inside the AOE.

Death Curse (E) places a curse on the enemy that deals damage after 5 seconds. It deals an insane amount of damage to the enemy if he has 4 Vile Curse charges and it consumes the charges. The lower the charges, the lower the damage.

The Torch, Cultist Cowl, Thetford Cape, Beef Stew, and Poison Potions are your offensive items.

The Mercenary Jacket and Cabbage Soup (for PvE) are your defensive items.

How to use this build:

Use (W) and auto-attack--> spam (Q) till the enemy has 2 Vile Curse charges --> (E)-->continue spamming (Q) and auto-attacks-->(D). Use (R) to lifesteal when needed.

1. Seed Planter

My New Favorite Solo Money Maker

You woke up today and chose to be rich. One of the best ways is to dive into static dungeons. But you don’t know what build to use. Suddenly, you remember that you had a dream where God handed you the Druidic Staff.

Thorn Growth (Q2) is the superior ability. You place thorns on the ground that deal AOE DOT and slow the enemy. You can cast the ability three times before it goes on a 3-second cooldown. The enemies affected by thorn take more damage from an auto-attack.

You will have to swap between 2 (W)s.

For the bosses, revitalize (W2) is utilized. It is a channel ability that heals you or a selected ally for three seconds. To achieve the best results, try to avoid taking damage while the channel is active.

Protection of Nature (W3) amplifies your damage resistance and healing received. It also restores some HP. Use this against groups of mobs.

Spiritual Seed (E). It heals the targeted ally for a huge amount.

The Demon Cape and Torch are your offensive items.

The Mercenary Jacket, Shoes of Tenacity, Roast Pork, and Invisibility Potion are your defensive items.

It’s simple to use this build:

Gather the mobs, then spam (Q)--> use (W3) for protection--> (E) when your HP goes down. Auto-attack in between castings. If you need more HP, use (R) and then reset it with (D).
