Gameplay
"If at first you don't succeed, stand closer, shoot again."
The western forests keep their secrets well hidden. Lyralei, master archer of the wood and wind's favorite godchild, is one of these. Lyralei's family was killed in a storm on the night of her birth, their house blown down by the gale, their contents scattered to the winds. Only the newborn survived the death and destruction debris field. The wind took notice of the lucky infant crying in the grass in the calm after the storm. The wind felt sorry for the child and lifted her into the sky, dropping her on a doorstep in a nearby village. The wind returned to the child's life on occasion in the years that followed, watching from afar as she honed her skills. Windranger can now fire her arrows precisely to their targets after years of practice. She moves at breakneck speed, as if aided by a strong wind at her back. She slaughters her enemies with a hail of arrows, having nearly become a force of nature herself.

Tips & Tactics
General
Shackleshot has more than half the maximum duration at level one, so one value point is sufficient until you max out your other spells.Max Powershot is your farming and waveclearing tool. Windrun comes second because it allows you to be aggressive and tower dive. Extra points in Windrun are definitely valuable early on to allow you to tank tower for a level 6 dive, and depending on the enemy mid shackle may or may not be required. At level 7, you should ideally be 1-3-2-1, or 0-3-3-1 if Shackle is unnecessary. Whenever possible, rank up to the highest possible level.
