Despair plays in cycles between the past and future. Countless ideals were incinerated before that red garment. Yet, do not let this smear of ashes fool you — Should someone create a phantasmal sweet dream under the guise of false ideals, then he will burn again, facing down the hypocrites of the world till the very end. No matter where he is, he always remains the steadfast champion of justice.

Archer Best Teams

Archer + Sparkle + Trailblazer (Ice) + Permansor Terrae

For a F2P team, you can use Archer with Sparkle and the Remembrance Trailblazer. Sparkle provides SP and advances Archer's turns. The Remembrance Trailblazer gives Archer more turns and allows him to deal True DMG while being SP positive. Permansor Terrae boosts Archer's ATK and provides shields for the party.

Archer + Trailblazer (Ice) + Hanya + Lynx

For beginners who don't have any limited 4-Star or 5-Star characters yet, you can use any two Supports with Archer. Remembrance Trailblazer and Hanya are his best free-to-play options for Archer since they provide turn-advance and SP-generation respectively.

Archer + Sparkle + Rin Tohsaka + Permansor Terrae

Archer's best teams consist of allies that provide Skill Points and are generally SP-friendly. Turn-advance Supports should have at least 160 SPD to bring the slow Archer in front of the turn order. Sparkle is undoubtedly Archer's best Support since she provides both Skill Points and turn-advance. Since Archer consumes a lot of Skill Points, using SP-Positive Sustains like Permansor Terrae or Gallagher will make your gameplay comfortable.
