Archers are a cheap pair of long-range support troops. Since they hit both air and ground, they're a reliable defense, especially in siege and cycle decks.

How to play

Split the two Archers or place them together next to your tower to shoot down air troops and small ground cards. Their range lets them deal damage safely from behind a tank. X-Bow decks use them often to protect the building.

Tips

• If your opponent has Arrows or The Log, don't stack both Archers together; splitting them makes it harder to kill both.
• They may not stop a Balloon alone, so pair them with a building or another air defender.
• Behind a tank they provide steady support damage on offense.

Strengths

• Hit air and ground, cheap and flexible.
• Long range lets them attack safely from behind tanks.

Weaknesses

• Vulnerable to small spells.
• Low hitpoints, so they die fast when targeted directly.

How to counter it

Evolution and hero
