ARR Archer

A Miqo'te Archer in Final Fantasy XIV.

The Archer (弓使い, Yumi Tsukai?, lit. Bow User) is a job that appears in various games in the Final Fantasy series. They wield bows in battle and uses status ailments to attack.

Archers overlap slightly with Rangers, as both specialize in bow weapons and share two trademark abilities, Barrage and Aim. The main difference is that Archers are exclusive to Ivalice, with the exception of Final Fantasy XIV, and specialize in status and elemental attacks while Rangers focus on being strong ranged physical attackers.
