FOREWORD

The following builds are based off MY RECOMMENDATION. Meaning you don't have to believe it 100%, as I'm sure there will be those that won't.
The builds were made as more of a guideline, so learn to research for yourself, decide what you believe is right!

In the following builds, I have selected multiple routes which I believe are safe to follow, and you can pick whichever suits your preference best.
I unfortunately cannot make a level-by-level guide without it being too cluttered because there are so many different routes, so please learn the listed skills in order.
You can use my level and SP markings to double check your progress. Just remember that each level is equivalent to 2SP.

BENI'S GRAND ARCHER BUILDS

This build will allow you to mix and match which optional skills you wish to learn, while learning skills in order of what will help you level fastest.
Skills with a (B) at the end state that they work much better on a B Slot in PvE, although it is not necessary to purchase one.
This build will allow you to save from 2~7SP.

PvE Build (Click to View)

This build is perfectly functional in PvE, but focuses around learning the skill Guide Arrow to give you the edge in PvP, and learning PvP related skills ASAP.
You won't be able to learn Entangle in order to learn Guide Arrow. And at most, you can only save 2SP in this build.
This build also requires you to purchase the cash note for Guide Arrow. If you do not wish to purchase it eventually, follow the Non-Entangle Route instead.

AFTERWORD

I hope this guide has helped you, but if you have any questions, comments, or even corrections, do not hesitate to leave me a reply.
And remember, think for yourself!~ ＾＾

Thank you, Hunnie. :3

The thing about the split points in GA is it circles around three skills which all have their uses. But you will later learn skills that have a higher priority than all three of them, making them rarely used in PvE unless you have a B Slot. You have to spend SP to continue down the skill tree one way or another, so I allow players to choose their route here. Some already know they will absolutely NOT use one of these skills, and leaving that out of your build allows you to still have the other two in handy without having to spend extra SP. (all routes allow you to save up to 7SP, except for the Guide Arrow route)

For example, if a player is sure they will not PvP nor will they buy a B Slot ever, I would recommend going down the Non-Aero route. Even if they might find Aero more useful than Entangle, they believe they can live without it and rely on Gungir (better for PvE almost always). If they are confident they will never need to dodge for neither PvE nor PvP, they can go down the Non-Backtumbling route also. You'll still have Entangle in your arsenal this way, so you can still make use of it on Barud and Type-H if you ever decide to. Little use is better than no use at all, in my opinion. :3

Newer users tend to overlook the uses of Entangle anyway, which is why the Non-Entangle sub-route is listed above all, as I find it the "safest" route. The Entangle sub-route uses 3SP more in the end, but it is there for those who cannot decide if they wish to leave behind a skill or not.

EDIT: OPENING UP ALL THE SPOILERS IS TOO FUN AHAHAHAHHAH
