Blue Protocol: Star Resonance offers two distinct ways to make use of the Marksman playstyle. Both variations offer different sides of the Marksman with their own unique approach to ranged combat. Here, we will take a look at the best Marksman Build guide for both Falconry and Wildpack in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance.
Marksman Wildpack Build Overview
This playstyle has a wolf attacking the enemy, and you can do good damage at long range. Most of the damage here comes from the summoned wolf. This makes the Marksman Wildpack Spec one of the more beginner-friendly classes and a good choice for early game. Wildpack Spec relies on Mastery and Haste attributes to deliver the damage.
Marksman Falconry Spec
Instead of a wolf, here you are partnering with a raven instead. Marksman Falconry Spec is the best choice for the late-game scenarios. Falconry utilizes Crit to deal damage with a few skill rotations. Falconry is a consistent DPS class ready to set nothing but Crit damage.
Best Skills To Level For Marksman Class
Marksman Wildpack Spec:
- Storm Arrow (Fixed Skill): This will be the primary skill for Wildpack. Activating Storm Arrow after a full Photon stack deals massive damage and makes the attack spammable.
- Torrent Volley: Deals good damage, perfect for regular use.
- Arrow Rain: When you are dealing AoE damage, Arrow Rain generates Photon Energy.
- Wildcall: Summon a wolf. Once you unlock the Wolf Contract node, you will be able to summon multiple wolves.
Note: Getting Battle Howl talent allows you to deal Crit damage on hit when you activate the Wildcall
- Focus: Since the Marksman has to deal with plenty of high cooldown timers, Focus reduces the cooldown by 50% for 12 seconds.
Marksman Falconry Spec:
- Double Arrow (Fixed Skill): This will be our go-to move here, dealing good damage, and it will turn into Quadraflare once the Photon energy bar reaches max.
- Arrow Rain: Get Photon Energy while dealing AoE damage.
- Focus: Lower your cooldown timer.
A great alternative here is Deter Shot, which allows you to leap upwards, deal attack damage, and gain immunity to attack damage for your character and nearby allies for 5 seconds. If you are getting tired of seeing Arrow Rain, you can replace it with Radiance Barrage. Radiance Barrage is a better version of Arrow Rain, as it deals more damage but does not generate any Photon Energy.
Ultimate Skill: Luminary Bolt Best for Wildpack and Falconry
Fire a massive arrow toward enemies; the arrow uses Photon energy. Once the arrow lands on the enemies, it deals continuous attack damage to all enemies nearby. It also inflicts vulnerability and Rooted. All around, the best AoE-focused ultimate is perfect for crowd control. It works extremely well for Wildpack and Falconry style.
Battle Imagine for Marksman Build:
Muku Scout (Perfect for Wildpack and Falconry)
The passive effect of Muku Scout is strong. When you deal damage 10 times in a row, all within 3 seconds, it will grant a buff that raises attack by 5%. This can be stacked 3 times for 5 seconds. When you activate Muku Scout, you will also deal damage. Muku Scout is an epic quality image, making it much easier to obtain and use.
Brigand Scout Leader (Perfect for Wildpack and Falconry )
The passive ability here offers 10% additional Agility. When you activate the image, you gain a temporary 20% boost. And just like the Muku Scout, the Brigand Scout Leader is also in the Epic quality category.
Once you are in the end game, swap Brigand Scout Leader with Muku Chief Battle Imagine. The passive of Muku Chief offers a 25% constant Crit damage. When you activate the Battle Imagine, it further amplifies the effect of Crits and Crit damage. This makes it a perfect choice for Falconry over Wildpack, further legitimizing the endgame potential of Falconry compared to Wildpack. While it does make the Wildpack route stronger, it flows well with the Falconry spec.
If you are looking to add something different to the Wildpack Battle Imagine, then you can roll with Phantom Arachnocrab. It offers a boost to Mastery, making it perfect for Wildpack, as it relies on Mastery to deal damage. Another great alternative here is Celestial Flier, which focuses on Haste.
- Marksman Falconry Spec: A Combination of Muku Scout with Muku Chief
- Marksman Wildpack Spec: A Combination of Muku Chief with Muku Scout or Phantom Arachnocrab, or Celestial Flier

- Photon Limit: Raises your max Photon energy by 20.

Marksman Wildpack Spec Skill Rotation
It is an auto-combo-friendly class, making it perfect for newcomers. If you have no idea how most of the game works, set it to auto combo by heading to Settings and turning on Auto Combo under Battle Preferences.
Arrow Rain to get Photon stack> Then Focus on gaining full Photon Stack > Now use Storm Arrow.
Storm Arrow allows you to draw 5 arrows at a target, helping you gain attack damage and Photon energy. Once the Photon energy reaches max, your next Storm Arrow will stack up to five times, and your next Storm Arrow will reach the Photon state. Getting to the max Photon Stacks and spamming Storm Arrow is a viable way of dealing with enemies with the Wildpack spec.
Arrow Rain will help you gain Photon Stack. You can use the Torrent Volley after you gain 40 stacks, as the skill will pause the Photon gauge and regenerate some of the Photon back. Wildcall will summon an additional wolf for more damage, and Focus will reduce your cooldown and increase your Haste. You should always use Focus during the Photon state, then spam Storm Arrow easily (receiving the lower cooldown effect from Focus).
Marksman Falconry Spec Skill Rotation
Here, you will also have a Photon gauge similar to the Wildpack, but unlike the Wildpack, once the bar is full, your normal attack will get replaced with a special attack.
Here, we will use Double Arrow, which acts as a Storm Arrow for the Falconry spec. When the Photon energy gets full, the Double Arrow becomes Quadraflare; it acts as an upgraded version of Double Arrow. This will make your character leap into the air and fire 4 exploding arrows, doubling the crit damage. Then you use Arrow Rain and Focus to work similarly to Wildpack. Arrow Rain boosts the Photon gauge quickly, and Focus raises the effect of some of the skills.
If you want to add more skills, we recommend that you add Power Draw and Radiance Barrage. Power Draw gets no cast time, but only if your Photon gauge is full. Radiance Barrage is another fan favorite skill during a full Photon gauge, as you leap into the air and shoot down on enemies.
