Archero Abilities List
I’m including all of the official descriptions of each ability, and I’m also going to be trying to include a brief bit of extra information on each of the abilities. Some abilities aren’t unlocked until after you complete certain chapters, so you might see some listed here that you haven’t seen yet! If you have one of the official descriptions that I’m missing, please let me know in the comments.
Now you can deal higher damage
Now you can attack faster
Bloodthirst
Restores HP when you kill enemies!
It’s a very small amount of health, and is much worse later in the game.
Bolt
Your attacks cause Lightning effect
If enemies are close by the one you hit, it will deal lightning damage to them.
Bolt Circle
Two lightning orbs circle around you
Similar to Bolt, but two orbs circle around you and they deal lightning damage to enemies that are hit by the orbs.
Summon a bolt star to attack enemies
Bolt Strike
Summon a Lightning Sword to attack enemies
A sword will slowly manifest in front of you and attack the enemy you are targeting.

Summons 2 bolt swords to spin around you
Same deal with most Bolt items, the swords deal damage on hit and will spread lightning damage to close by enemies.

This works with all of your weapons, if you have piercing, the weapon will travel through the enemy and bounce of the wall and come back.

Critical chance and critical strike damage increased!
Room cleared without taking damage will increase your critical damage.
Dark Touch
Place a 1s time bomb on struck target, explodes dealing 90% of modified damage (atk boosts) in an aoe of around.
Death Bomb
Enemies when killed explode, dealing damage to nearby enemies. This is a pretty small radius, so it’s hard to hit them with it.
Death Nova
Enemies when killed will fire out projectiles from their body and deal damage to enemies who are struck by them.
Diagonal Arrows
There’s no real description for this, but it fires two additional projectiles to your left and right diagonal. This is based on your weapon, it doesn’t only fire arrows.

Small chance to kill mobs instantly
This is pretty random, you’ll see it pop up when a monster is killed by it.
Holy Touch
Your attacks cause Holy effect
Whenever you hit an enemy, two small projectiles shoot out horizontally from the enemy that will deal damage to other enemies.
HP Boost

Great ability, fires another projectile immediately after your first shot.

Shadow Clone
Chance to summon a basic archer in place of the enemy you killed. Does not move has basic attack.
