Learn the skills and strategies for the Wild Hunter build in Outward. Master Enrage, Evasion Shot, and more to dominate your foes.
Hey there! So you're looking to become a true Wild Hunter in Outward? Awesome choice! This build focuses on agility, ranged combat, and some nasty debuffs. Let's break down the skills you'll want to pick up to really make this build shine.
Tier 1 Skills:
| Skill | Effect | Type | Cost |
| Enrage | Grants the Rage boon, which increases the Impact of your attacks. Using this skill burns a bit of your maximum health until the next time you sleep. Certain skills require this boon to be active. 500s cooldown. | Active | 50 Silver |
| Evasion Shot | Shoot an arrow while jumping backwards. Causes the Cripple status effect on the target. Locking on foes is essential with this skill. Consumes 12 Stamina. 30s cooldown. | Active | 50 Silver |
| Hunter’s Eye | You can lock on enemies at longer distances when using a bow. | Passive | 50 Silver |
| Sniper Shot | Required: Bow. Let loose a very strong arrow shot with a long windup, making it a poor option in the middle of combat. Consumes 15 Stamina. 30s cooldown. | Active | 100 Silver |
Starting off, Enrage is your bread and butter for certain skills, but be mindful that it drains your max health until you rest. Evasion Shot is fantastic for creating distance and slowing enemies down, just make sure you're locked on! Hunter's Eye is a must-have if you're going bow-focused, letting you tag targets from way further away. Sniper Shot hits hard, but it's slow, so use it when you have a clear opening.
Tier 2 Skills:
| Skill | Effect | Type | Cost |
| Survivor’s Resilience | Increases your maximum health by 40. | Passive | 500 Silver, 1 Breakthrough Point |
In Tier 2, Survivor's Resilience is a solid passive buff, giving you a nice chunk of extra health. Every bit counts in Outward, right?
Tier 3 Skills:
| Skill | Effect | Type | Cost |
| Predator Leap | Jumping attack that creates a shockwave upon landing, with high Impact and Damage. Consumes 13 Stamina. 40s cooldown. | Active | 600 Silver |
| Piercing Shot | Required: Bow. Strong shot that goes through enemies and hits other foes behind. Inflicts Extreme Bleeding. Consumes 15 Stamina. 30s cooldown. | Active | 600 Silver |
| Feral Strikes | Required: Melee Weapon, Rage Boon Attack twice, consuming your Rage boon in the process. Inflicts Extreme Bleeding and Pain. Consumes 15 Stamina. 30s cooldown. | Active | 600 Silver |
Tier 3 really amps up your damage. Predator Leap is a great way to close gaps and deal AoE damage. If you're sticking with the bow, Piercing Shot is amazing for hitting multiple enemies and applying a nasty bleed. For those times you get up close and personal, Feral Strikes chews through enemies, especially when combined with the Rage boon, and applies both Bleeding and Pain. Just remember it uses up your Rage!
- Always keep an eye on your Stamina, especially when using Evasion Shot and Sniper Shot.
- Make sure you have the Rage boon active before using Feral Strikes for maximum effect.
- Hunter's Eye is crucial for effective bow play; don't skip it if you plan on sniping.
- Don't underestimate the power of Cripple from Evasion Shot to control dangerous enemies.
