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."
