Marksman Class Build Guide
How To Build A Marksman - In this King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Marksman Class Guide, we are going to show you how to build your Marksman from the ground up in terms of the active and passive skills you should acquire, the Heroes you need to create a reliable party, and the gear you have to equip. If you are looking for a Marksman who specializes in inflicting multiple Status Effects while dealing massive damage from a distance, then this King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Marksman Class Guide is for you!
Similar to Arcanists, Marksmen are weak in the melee range particularly due to the absence of Armour in the early game, resulting in receiving injuries and Vitality damage often. As such, they must always stay at the sideline throughout the encounter. They also utilize covers to reduce the damage they take from ranged enemies. Marksmen like Lady Dindraine and Sir Bors have a variety of single-target Skills to inflict Burning and Poison. These are powerful Status Effects because more often than not, they kill affected creatures after 1 turn.
As a Marksman, your goal is to improve both Weapon Damage and Armour Breaking Stats to amplify overall damage while destroying Armour. It’s equally important to increase Perception to at least 2 in order to alert you of hidden traps and enemies lurking in the shadows so you don’t take surprise damage. And finally, you should also improve Physical Debuff Resist to lower the effectiveness of physical status effects such as Knockdown, Vulnerability, and Weakness in instances when enemies successfully position themselves beside these ranged Heroes.
In terms of party composition, it’s absolutely important to have at least 1 Defender to act as a meat shield should the fight lack environmental covers. Doing so will protect your squishy Marksmen. You can then include another Marksman, Champion, Vanguard, or Arcanist. All of these are excellent damage dealers so you will have the capability to annihilate multiple enemies more efficiently.

Marksman Notes & Tips
- Try to pick off enemies that might damage your melee units first, to prevent them from taking damage.
- Use Marksman to take out enemy ranged units to prevent them from firing upon you and your melee units unchecked.
- Don't forget to use Overwatch with Marksman when you have no easy target. It can often kill enemies that move into its range.
weakest class in the game by a huge gap due to missing damage scaling passives, provides no support and deals no damage, sporting 40 damage at endgame per shot on a 6k life enemy in very hard mode, while vanguards and champions can deal up to 1k, great balancing here
