Archer Forest: Idle RPG is an adventure and role-playing game in idle, available at Android.

Your goal: to play the role of a archer, to defend the forest and advance through each stage against the bosss, combining two identical arrows to create an ever-more-powerful shot. The game blends mechanics from hero protection, arrow merging, and exploration in idle RPG.

Important information:

The game just banned me after more than 7 months of continuous play. I lost all my progress. The support tickets I submitted never got a response for several months—which basically means they’re useless. So, unfortunately, I can no longer recommend that you play this game. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!

For those looking for a game, I recommend you try Dragon Champions. I'm in regular contact with the developers. If you want some significant free rewards, use the following code before reaching level 15:

Test Dragon Champions

I'm still banned; it's been more than 3 months and still no response from support. More than 150€ down the drain, and I'm not the only one in this situation. Some people have even spent 1 500€. So I recommend that you switch to a different game and try it out for free Dragon Champions by clicking on the link above.

To farm and make fast progress on the game: Install it on a PC using an emulator so it can run for as long as possible.

Introduction: What is the goal in Archer Forest?

Your mission in Archer Forest is to get stronger and defeat the monsters. You craft arrows by merging them to make them more and more powerful, and then you chain together tasks and activities to earn better rewards.

The most important thing to remember: your progress depends mainly on the’improvement in deflection. Each level adds about 25 % of damage, and this increase is exponential, not additive. Leveling up 10 levels doesn't just give you +250 %—it gives you much more than that. It's the fastest and cheapest way to boost your damage in the early and mid-game.

To move on to the next map, you must reach the wave 100, 150, or 200 on the current map. Tip: Work through the maps fairly quickly until you reach your damage limit. Once you're stuck, stay on the highest (or second-highest) map for a few days until you unlock a higher arrow level.

When you can't move forward anymore, settle on a map that you can easily clear up to wave 70. Then set auto-respawn for that wave, or for the Wave 22 if you have the pet Hermès.

Archer Forest is a idle RPG : It keeps running even when you're not playing. So leave your device on for long periods of time to maximize your rewards. The ad-blocking pack—which you should buy when it's on sale—is permanent and makes the game run much more smoothly.

The game offers a huge amount of content: PVP, families, guilds, deep forest, Archer Village, and many other modes. It’s best to first read the information provided in the game by tapping the icons at the bottom of the screen, then check out the Archer Forest Tutorials and the community guides before asking your questions.

You can also read the opinions and reviews other players to get an idea.

The game's various tabs

You'll find everything you need to know about the tabs below.

Information on the bottom tab

Archer Forest Bottom Tab Bar: Upgrades, Inventory, Shop

The bottom bar contains all the tabs that organize your progress. Here's what each one is for.

  • The Golden Improvements : Upgrades purchased with gold are automatically reset after each rebirth.
  • The Continuous Improvements : They cost rebirth stones and diamonds, but once purchased, they are yours to keep. They contain four sub-tabs: To manage, ATK, Production and Special.
  • L'List of Arrows : This is where you store and combine your arrows to increase their power.
  • The Store : There, you can claim or purchase various items, such as archers, runes, diamonds, pets, boss tickets, gold boss tickets, and fuel.
  • The The Archer's Page : It lets you track your archers' levels, skills, and passive abilities.

Boss

The boss are powerful enemies that you face with boss tickets. The first time you defeat a boss, you receive between 1,000 to 9,000 diamonds depending on the battle, as well as special cards related to its level.

Once the Boss Level 61 If you lose, you have a chance to win a gold card. It works like a special boss card, but with significantly better benefits.

There is a 1.01 percent chance of obtaining a gold card after defeating the Level 101 boss in Archer Forest

Starting on Boss Level 101, your chances of getting a special card go up by 0.01 % per level. You no longer earn classic diamonds, but instead red diamonds.

Quests

The quests are tasks that reward you with diamonds once completed. They're an essential part of the early and mid-game, and they really send your diamond earnings soaring.

These quests end when you complete the objective “Arrow with a maximum level of 150”. At that point, your diamond earnings drop significantly. Also, be sure to follow the events from gaming to supplement your income.

Example of an Archer Forest quest: craft a level 138 arrow

Smart tip: If you're short on tickets and you're assigned the quest “Fighting the boss”, attacks a boss that you can't defeat. When you die, you get two chances to complete the quest: you respawn, die again, and then complete the quest without spending a single ticket.

Priority Upgrades

With your Renaissance stones, improve everything you can in the tab Continuous Improvements. Set the priority for the sub-tab Production, and also turns the’ASPD, the CRIT chance and the Cooldown Reduction of your archers as soon as possible. The exact limit is listed on the Discord (link at the bottom of the page).

With your diamonds, the very first upgrade to focus on is the’expansion of the hill. Next, spend your diamonds primarily on the sub-tab Production, and at the same time is pushing the’ASPD and the chance to CRIT as much as possible. This is the most effective combo for dealing more damage at each stage.

Runes and Totems

The runes have a positive impact on your progress and become truly decisive in the endgame. You can earn them simply by watching a advertising, or spend a little premium currency to unlock 4 additional runes per day (500, 1000, 1500, then 2000). Advice from experienced archers: Only buy runes in the mid- and late-game, when your progress warrants it.

The totems boost your gold income, your rebirth, or your attack damage. All totems stack, even if only one remains visually active on the screen. In practice, it’s more cost-effective to invest in the level of the arrows, which makes your archers much more powerful against the boss in each stage. One important point: don't buy Never The Golden Totem becomes completely useless late in the game.

Tip: Complete these daily quests

To make rapid progress in Archer Forest, go through this little routine every day. It saves you time and maximizes your rewards without any effort.

  1. Sign up as a member of your guild.
  2. Claim your rewards, then use your two boss guild tickets to face two different boss tanks.
  3. Claim the two surprise gifts at 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., sent in the daily mail (reward: 500 diamonds or 1 rune).
  4. Use your PVP tickets twice a day : once in the morning, once in the evening.
  5. Collect the mine's proceeds when it is available.

These habits make all the difference in the long run. An archer who checks these boxes every day always stays one step ahead in their progress.
