Basic Characteristics

The Dark Elf Archer uses his range to his benefit by attacking unsuspecting players from afar. However, these arrows travel slowly, and deal very little damage upon impact. Nevertheless, damage should be avoided. The archers take a few seconds to draw their bow back, and the action is interupted if attacked or shoved in some way. This is of great disadvantage to an archer, and once the archer has been attacked, it is unlikely he will be able to attack again.

Attributes

Archers may possess all defensive and offensive attributes. While one is locked on to an archer, they may view their attribute symbol next to the health bar. If no symbol is present, no attribute is present. The higher level archers generally have a higher likelyhood of possessing an attribute.

Strategy

Basic Strategy

Archers are easily killed by splash damage and die very quickly in a similar manner as the goblins. However, if the archers are at a distance from the target, it may take some time for retaliation due to other enemies and distance. This can eventually cause substantial damage if not dealt with; therefore, it is recommended to occaisally check on distance attacks.

Dark Elf Archers can attack your crystals if you place your defenses too close to the crystals. This should be avoided as you lose score (and also experience) when your crystal gets attacked, even if it is just one arrow flung by an archer who dies immediately afterwards.
