	Rangers can tank as well as hit, and do just fine in both roles. Having rescue, they can rescue-tank just like warriors, and the fact that gash lands on almost everything is super useful. The prestige upgrade to Hunter gives a massive increase in Gash damage, plus gets some useful new skills. Overall, Rangers probably the most well-rounded Fighter genre character and are great for tanking, hitting, exploring, and get the missile-weapon gimmick which can drop a few mobs with very useful gear.

	I consider Rangers somewhat of a "jack-of-all-trades master of none" situation. Rangers (non-prestige) are average tanks, average hitters, average explorers. In fact, they can kinda suck compared to other "high damage output" chars. Prestige into Hunter makes them a significantly better hitter, the prestige ~~skill~~ indomitable is fantastic, and overall Hunters are a much more usable char compared to a non-prestige Ranger.

 Note that some mobs can be outright killed with arrows, others should be ALMOST killed with arrows but then KB'd with another character, others can only be somewhat hurt with arrows before they heal. So, archer tactics do vary by mob and range from full kills to just doing an initial phase of injury to the mob.

 Archer tactics can be used on mobs like the Yeti, Jaeric, Rez, Longinus, and most notably are crucial for Yamata-No-Orochi in Edo, all of which drop useful items.
