I see Pistols as main hand; what is the off-hand of Archer classes?

I rolled a Kane as my account's Valiant ages ago, and he's kinda doing well (hopefully).

Just curious about the off-hand of his class; Thieves are sword-dagger dual wielders, Warriors and Defenders can go sword-shield combo (unless they go for two-handed pokey sticks or cleavers?), while Mages and Healers are wielding mystical wands and bucklers.

Archers can go for bows, crossbows and pistols, but I have yet to see an Archer off-hand. Have anyone stumbled upon one? All I got since day 1 are bows and pewpews, no off-hand whatsoever.

Do those come like sniper scopes, scrying orbs, finger guards or something? I'm kinda itching to know. :)

Might be another gun, have you tried equipping second gun on your archer?

That is what I'm thinking too, but the all the other guns that I have are still considered main hand items. It would've been nice to dual wield pistols, no? :)

Oh i see, yeah dual pistols seems fabulous c: probably the only off-hand left that makes sense to me is dagger :D

I'm soooooo glad you agree! Well, bow-daggering seems kinda okay too (hello Rena + Erendil from another game, I'm looking at you) and it makes a Ranger do some badassery with "Who told you I cannot go melee?" kind of snark, but still, game logic.

Gunslinger should go trigger happy with two pistols. Then there's a 3* Tri-shot Pistol too... Wonder if it shoots three times as well. Might check it out soon. :D

EDIT: And nope, it doesn't shoot three times, sadly. T.T

I'm pretty sure Rena is a wizard in disguise >:( because real rangers aren't supposed to be able to summon phoenix, tornado, fire an arrows that moved by itself, healing etc

She probably is, plus the fact that some of her advancements are Magic-based (Gungnir~!)... Well, yep! :D If only Kane can just dual-wield daggers too, like that GARcher from yet another game that is the bone of his sword - literally. :D

Welp, no idea what another game you meant but i guess it's FGO? maybe. Kane with dual dagger is pretty unexpected, but i like it c: might as well make pure ranged guardian with double shield where he throws them like capt. murica lel

Yup, Archer is pretty much a staple in every fate/ game (the vanilla eroge version or not) and I'm just waiting for stamina to replenish on FGO so I'm kinda torn on doing event stuff on VF and grinding skillseeds on Mobius now.

Back on topic, wah, there should be a Ranger off-hand somewhere...
