Category:Archers

Specialising in ranged combat, Archers are the damage-dealers in each of the various Faction's armies. Many of the Units in Shadow and Flame can be combined with either a Swordsmen or Pikemen battalion, giving them greater protection on the front-lines, whilst others such as the Rangers of Ithilien, are more suitable for ambushing enemies and Guerrilla-style warfare. Archers are also the only Units capable of dealing with aerial threats

Generally, Archers are stronger when fighting against Swordsmen, and will be weaker against Cavalry, but this is not a hard-and-fast rule - a particular Unit's Rank, the upgrades they have received and / or the abilities they have will also affect the outcome of a battle.
