Archer
You fight from the back and never have to close the distance, so the horde reaches you last. Keep your gear current and your shots do the rest with little to manage in the moment.

Legacy
Sylvara, Warden of the Whispering Boughs (Elf)
The elves heard the dungeon chewing at the roots of their eternal forest long before any human felt it, and Sylvara went below to silence it. Her arrows never missed, not even the final one, loosed in the instant the dark took her. Reborn in her legacy, you will see the kill before the enemy sees you.

What the Forest Heard
Long before any human felt the ground shift, the elves of the Whispering Boughs heard something chewing far beneath their roots, a sound like teeth working slowly through wood that was not supposed to have any give in it. Sylvara was the one who volunteered to go find out what kind of mouth it was.
Defeat the first boss of the descent to unlock this.
The Eldest Tree
The first floor of the descent that made Sylvara stop and lower her bow was the tenth, where the forest's own eldest tree stood twisted into something with a mind that was no longer its own. She had climbed that tree as a child. She did not lower the bow for long.
Reach floor 30 to unlock this.
The Warden She Left
Before she went below, Sylvara asked her second to hold the boughs no matter how long she was gone, and he swore it the way soldiers swear things they intend to keep forever. She never came back to release him from the oath. He is, technically, still keeping it.
Be reborn to unlock this.
The Final Arrow
Her last arrow was already nocked when the dark took her on the tenth floor, aimed at the eldest tree of her own forest, the one she had climbed as a child and now had to kill. She loosed it anyway. Somewhere above, a warden she never released from his oath is still holding a border for a tree that no longer needs one.
