How does the Snap Line strategy work in Archero?

The Snap Line strategy involves intentionally breaking your fishing line if the fish weight or tension indicates a low-value catch. This saves your lure (often refunded as a Broken Line which can be exchanged for a new lure), allowing you to re-cast for a higher-value Emperor Fish.

What is the best lure to use in Archero Fishing Fiesta?

Golden Lures typically offer the highest point multipliers and catch rates for rare fish, but standard lures are more cost-effective for clearing initial zones.

ℹ️ About the Archero Fishing Fiesta

The Fishing Fiesta is one of the most lucrative events in Archero if played correctly. Unlike luck-based wheel spins, fishing allows for strategic intervention to maximize your point-to-lure ratio.

This tool helps you make data-driven decisions: which fish to catch, when to snap your line, and how many resources you need for that S-Tier equipment.

⚡ The "Snap Line" Strategy (Must Read)

⚠️

Don't catch every fish!
Catching a small 2kg fish wastes a valuable lure for minimal points.

The core strategy relies on the "Broken Line Exchange" mechanic (check if active in your current event). If active:

Cast your line. Observe the fish weight or tension bar behavior.
Identify the fish. If the bar moves slowly or the weight is low (under 5kg), it is likely "Trash".
Let it snap! Do not reel. Let the tension bar fill until the line breaks.
Exchange. Go to the event exchange shop and trade your "Broken Line" strictly for a refund/new lure.

Top players use this to cycle through bad fish until they hook an Emperor Fish (often 50kg+ or high multiplier).

💡 Tips for Maximizing Points

✔ Exchange Wisely: Always prioritize S-Tier equipment boxes or rare shards. Keys are generally low value here.
✔ Hoard Lures: Save your lures for the final days. Often, you will unlock higher multipliers or better fishing zones as the event progresses.
✔ Multiplier Math: Using x2 or x5 multipliers doesn't change the odds, but it saves time. Use x1 for testing the waters and x5 when you are confident in your Snap Line strategy.
