Arcane Shot TCG

In the TCG

A hunter's deadly accuracy doesn't just seem like magic; sometimes, it is.[1]

Arcane Shot is a level 2 hunter ability.

Improvements[]

Tips and tactics[]

  • Arcane Shot deals Arcane damage which bypasses armor, but can be partially resisted.
  • Though it deals magic damage, Arcane Shot is not considered a spell and gains no benefit from spell power.

Trivia[]

  • Arcane Shot is a basic hunter spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "Magi conjured arcane arrows to sell to hunters, until hunters learned just enough magic to do it themselves. The resulting loss of jobs sent Stormwind into a minor recession."
