What Spells Work Well With Ranged Strikes?

This guide focuses on using Ranged Spell Combat and Ranged Spell Strike for Eldritch Archers, specifically the Musket Master. It is applicable to any EA using a two-handed weapon. The guide mentions that Battering Blast is a common use for this skill, and it can be used with Eldritch Knight or just for extra attacks each round. The third use is Devil.

Ranged Spellstrike is a powerful spell that can be cast using various items, such as weapons, armor, and stacks with Rapid Shot. It is essential to use ranged spellstrike if possible with a cantrip (acid orb) for spell combat and if not otherwise. Spellstrike is the central feature of the Magus, and it is crucial to maximize its effectiveness.

One spell strike can be cast, which gives a free ranged attack at full BAB but with -2 for doing Spell Combat. Ranged touch spells, like Scorching Ray, have a range of close, medium, or long. Abilities can be used for dealing damage to enemies, inflicting Status Ailments, buffing characters, or protecting oneself.

For normal Magus, spellstrike only works for spells from the Magus spell list. However, Ranged Spellstrike does not mention Magus, and the spell hydraulic push cannot be used with ranged spellstrike. Rapid Shot is a modified Full Attack action that can be used with one spell and three ranged attacks.

Can an Eldritch Archer Magus use Ranged Spell Combat, Ranged Spellstrike, and Rapid Shot simultaneously? Make a Spellstrike with a ranged weapon or ranged unarmed attack against a target within the first range increment of the attack.
