• Optionals

You might want to bring more interrupts, or dual/triple shot.

[edit] Equipment

• Armor

Bring maximum armor with earthbound insignias and the best vigor rune you can afford.

• Weapons

A Longbow or Flatbow will be best for the shephards. Even if you enter their range though, you will take no damage from the shepherds (you take all earth damage and have major armor against earth, and they will use Iron Mist) so being in their spell range is fine. A Shortbow is best against the spiders to keep healing spring reliably interrupted.

[edit] Usage

• Maintain enchantments, Ignite Arrows, and Storm Chaser.
• Spam Incendiary Arrows.
• Interrupt healing skills (Troll Unguent and Healing Spring).

[edit] Counters

• Failing to maintain enchantments.
• Savage Shot from Armored Cave Spiders if your health gets too low.

[edit] Variants

Extra interrupts:

• Savage Shot
• Disrupting Shot
