Strategy
The main purpose of this skill is to deal high damage and quick burst shots to the enemy, preferably generally strong enemies such as MVPs. To achieve this, the player needs to deal as high as possible DPS by increasing you damage per hit and reducing as much cast delay as possible to the point where you are able to do 7 hits per second (see ASPD#Hits per Second).
Use of traps is possible if allowed by map and enemy mechanics but it is quite unpopular nowadays due to the gears themselves carry the damage of the skill rather than allowing the player to use actual in-game strategy.
Due to the lack of defensive skills of the job, it is usually encouraged to bring a tank for harder content such as Geffen Night Arena or Tomb of Remorse for them to deal with the incoming damage while the player concentrates on defeating the boss.
It is possible to use this skill against normal monsters but one may find it overkill and lacking in terms of range and no AoE. This is why in most normal scenarios such as leveling or item hunting, Gale Storm and Hawk Rush are more preferrably used due to their more specalized functions.
Gale Storm
Gale Storm is a skill unique to this job. It can be used as an alternative or used alongside Arrow Storm due to their similar function and characteristics.

This build is the natural progression to the falcon builds for Hunters or Snipers and the warg build for Rangers. The hawk gains the abilities of the falcon, including all of the falcon-related skills such as Blitz Beat and Detect while also dealing massive damage to single-target enemies from afar. Being able to use a warg alongside the falcon will help gain the Windhawk gain advantage in the field.
