I’ve put together the Light Cones, Relics, Trace priority, stat priority, teams, and Eidolon verdicts for the best Archer build in HSR, including a free-to-play (F2P) route for players without the resources to pull for his signature Light Cone or premium teammates.
Archer is a free 5 star Quantum unit on the Path of Hunt who turns Skill Points into one of the hardest-hitting single-target loops in HSR. He fires his Skill up to five times a turn, and every extra shot hits harder than the last.

How to Play Archer: Rotation and Tips
Archer’s playstyle revolves around his Skill Points (SP), and his rotation mainly consists of entering his Skill’s Circuit Connection state and firing until he runs dry.
Each Skill use costs 2 SP, and the damage bonus stacks the longer he stays in Circuit Connection, so spend as much banked SP on him as possible every turn. His Talent throws in extra hits whenever an ally attacks, and it refunds 1 SP each time, which is what keeps his own spam going.
His Ultimate hits for a massive multiplier and refills his Talent charges, so use it right before a big Skill turn whenever you can. If SP is genuinely short, a Basic ATK is a better use of his turn than a partial, unbuffed Skill volley.
