The Amazon is a female warrior Rogue that is very effective with the bow and also has a potential to master the use of javelins, spears and just a tad of magic. The Amazons strength lies in ranged attacks and as well as being able to fire a bow or throw a javelin. She can enhance these attacks by imbuing the weapons with various magical effects such as poison, cold and lightning. There are also skills which will improve the Amazons overall proficiency in their uses, for instance, 'Penetrate' and 'Pierce' in her Passive & Magic tree will increase her % chance to hit and ability to strike more than one monster with an arrow or javelin. The Amazon has six Passive skills at her disposal and all of them are quite useful to most Amazon builds.

The Amazon begins equipped with a stack of javelins. There are many types of javelins that you'll find later in the game, with more damaging ones that require more strength and dexterity to equip, and have various max allowed per stack.

The Amazon can use her starting equipment to stab or throw, or switch to a bow as soon as she finds one she can use. The Amazon is good with spears also, a decent early spear find and a point in Jab will make for smooth sailing through Act One at the very least, though you'll need to work to keep enough mana early on.
