Archers (アーチャー, Āchā, Archer in Japan) are a bow-wielding class present in Fire Emblem. Their first appearance was in Template:FEARHT and have been used in each game of the series since then; the exception being Template:FESK and Template:T776, where they are replaced by bow fighters. Archers are a enemy-exclusive class in Template:T776.

Since they only use bows, which are long-range weapons, they cannot attack units adyacent to them. Due to this, archers should not be in the first offensive line, as they cannot counterattack close-range hits.

Archers are basic units (except in Template:FEG, being an alternative promotion for villagers) and can be promoted to snipers. A new promotion is offered in Template:FESS, where archers can become rangers.
