The archer is Triara’s other shooter, the alternative to the mage on the back line. There are 21 champions, all shooters, with an unusual spread: 9 Rookies and 6 Prospects, just 1 Pro, then 2 Stars and 3 Legends. In other words, either cheap or elite, with little in between. By ara, 5 Sun, 9 Moon and 7 Tide.
Its damage is physical and ranged, and its skills aim at a single target: Deadeye raises its critical hits, Piercing Arrow reaches more than one rival with a single shot and Execute finishes off whoever is running low on health. Compared with the mage, the archer has neither Mana Shield nor a control skill, so it plays to kill first.
Archers in figures
| Category | Champions | Power | Value | Wage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legend | 3 | 4,666–7,742 | 1,792–4,933 | 39–65 |
| Star | 2 | 3,317–3,664 | 1,013–1,236 | 24–26 |

| Rookie | 9 | 1,322–1,791 | 194–356 | 3–4 |
An archer’s power runs from 1,322 to 7,742; the strongest is Shaiel, a Legend, with 7,742. With 3 Legends among 21 champions, the archer is one of the classes with the highest share of Legends in the catalogue. By race there are 6 undead, 5 elves, 4 humans, 3 demons and 3 orcs.
Skills a archer can learn
- As a shooter: Execute, Deadeye and Piercing Arrow.
On top of that, every race has skills of its own that any of its champions can learn: Adaptive for humans, Undying and Curse for the undead, Hellfire and Curse for demons, Predator for beasts, Grace for elves and Fury for orcs; undead and demon shooters can also learn Life Steal. Each champion has two slots, every skill costs one orb, and orbs only come from the cup podium.
Deadeye is the class skill and the first one worth an orb. Undead and demon archers can also learn Life Steal, which works well on a shooter.
The best of each category
Two per category, ordered by power. A tank’s power is not comparable with a fighter’s or a shooter’s, because a tank hits less by design: that is why the table shows the lane.

With just 1 Pro, anyone wanting an archer in Silver or Gold will have to rely on Prospects or wait for a Star. The 9 Rookies, on the other hand, are a solid alternative to the mage in Bronze.
