There are lots of factors to consider and a ton of loot to be found around the world of Embervale, which can make figuring out what gear and abilities to choose rather tricky, so here’s the best Ranger build in Enshrouded including best armor, skills, weapons, and more.

Playing as a Ranger means you are committing to dealing damage from afar, which can make building it tougher than some of the other classes Enshrouded offers. Precision is key both in how you build this class and how you play it, so here’s what you need to know to craft an effective Ranger build.

Best Ranger statistics in Enshrouded

The most important statistic to build as a Ranger is Dexterity. Beyond this key statistic, what other ones you choose to focus on is entirely up to you depending on how you want your Ranger to play.

You can lean into Intelligence if you want your Ranger to have a magical edge or Constitution to help boost your overall health. Endurance isn’t as crucial as you would think for a Ranger build because there are better ways to boost your stamina, so it’s best to not prioritize this statistic.

Best Ranger armor in Enshrouded

The best armor for a Ranger is the Legendary Eagle Eye armor set. This armor specializes in boosting ranged damage and stamina, which is key for playing as an effective Ranger. It also has very balanced statistics that provide solid Magical and Physical Resistance.

The Deadeye and Deerstalker armor sets are also strong options for a Ranger build, but these are more early-game sets you can use until youobtain all parts of Eagle Eye. No other set comes close to this one for maximizing a Ranger build, so the overall best choice below.

Best Ranger weapons in Enshrouded

As a Ranger, the best weapon you can use is some kind of bow. I find the most effective choice to be the Wolf’s Snarl Bow, but there are lots of powerful options you can combine with various types of arrows depending on what type of Ranger you want to be.

Nine of the overall best weapons in Enshrouded are bows, but you can still deal immense damage with them when you’re playing as a Ranger.
