Withered Marsh Mountain was, according to the official history, a great mountain guarded by Starshatters. Like the Demonic Humanoids camp, it was also a story-monster area. Anyone who killed a Shattered Star Archer had a high chance of getting a Star Shatterer Fruit.
Compared with all the other advanced classes, everyone had previously thought archers were utterly weak in this game. Their ranged attacks were inferior to ice Archmages, their burst damage was inferior to fire mages, and even their physical attacks lagged far behind Temple Knights and Godly Power Warriors.
That was until the Star Shatterer Fruit appeared. The effects triggered by its Star Shatterer Bloodline Power turned archers from the worst class into the most sought-after one in an instant. Their damage output was simply abnormal.
At just the first tier of Bloodline Power, the Star Shatterer Fruit could grant an archer 200,000 Agility. Two hundred thousand Agility! What an outrageous stat increase. While other classes were still struggling to level up their equipment gems to increase their damage, Shattered Star Archers did not need to buy any gems or even weapons to deal more damage than any other class at the same level.
The Star Shatterer Fruit had more than just that attribute. It also came with a special skill that increased damage by 15% of Agility, which meant another hundred thousand or so damage. Even without considering other skills, this class was a complete bug.
Back then, if any guild had a legion of archers with the Star Shatterer Bloodline defending a city, then with the Shattered Star Archers' 150-meter range, the enemy would not even be able to get within 150 meters of the city walls without dedicated defensive classes protecting them.
