Blackarrow guide
Plan a Blackarrow build around Bow and Javelin, legal skills, talent prerequisites, and reachable equipment and affix targets.
Blackarrow overview
Blackarrow applies ranged pressure with rapid shots, charged arrows, and specialized projectiles. Its kit can shift between burst damage, area denial, and control, while stealth and movement tools create room to reposition and attack again from a safer angle.
Blackarrow can build around Bow or Javelin. Choose one weapon and learn its compatible skills before committing to equipment targets. If the finished plan uses a secondary weapon, document what it contributes so both halves of the loadout remain coherent.
The skill and talent reference below uses the catalog imported on August 5, 2026. Starter recommendations are a foundation for testing, not a permanent tier ranking; balance and player discoveries can change.

Blackarrow weapons and skills
Review the skill pool for each supported weapon, then open the builder with that choice preselected.
Bow
Frostblight BombHold to aim and throw a Frostblight Bomb. It detonates after a delay upon hitting terrain or characters, Freezing enemies within range for a period of time. Frostblight Bomb has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
Impact GrenadeHold to aim and throw an Impact Grenade, which can stick to characters and the environment. It detonates after a period or when using the skill again. The explosion deals Physical Damage to enemies in range and knocks back all units in the area. Knockback distance increases with proximity to the grenade. Impact Grenade has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
Predator's SensesCast this skill to take out a secret herbal mixture to heighten your sense of smell, allowing you to sniff out nearby enemies at set intervals for a period of time. Each time, if enemy players are within range, a temporary scent trail appears pointing toward the nearest enemy player. The closer an enemy player is to the Blackarrow, the more blood-red the scent trail looks. Limited uses per match.
Rapid ArrowsAfter using the skill, Blackarrow enters Volley mode, allowing you to hold to rapidly fire up to 5 arrows for a certain duration, dealing Physical Damage. During Volley, shooting does not reduce Movement Speed. Dodging removes Volley.
ScattershotCast this skill to fire 7 arrows forward simultaneously, dealing Physical Damage to enemies on hit and knocking them back. Scattershot has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
Shadow StepAfter using this skill, Blackarrow enters Stealth. After Stealth ends, Charge Speed will briefly increase, and you can use the skill again within a short time to re-enter Stealth. You can do this up to 3 times. Collision with other units is ignored while in Stealth. Shadow Step has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
Sky PiercerCast this skill to fully draw the bow and fire a powerful arrow in a straight line toward the crosshairs, dealing Physical Damage on hit. The arrow can pierce 5 units.Javelin

It prioritizes players with lower Health, locking onto a maximum of three targets. If a higher-priority target enters the aiming area, it will replace a lower-priority target. Upon release, the javelin will pierce through the locked targets sequentially, from the closest to the farthest.
Trickstep JavelinA three-stage skill. Activating this skill throws a javelin forward before backstepping. If a movement command is input during the throw, you will step once in that corresponding direction instead.Blackarrow talent trees
