Since they only use bows, which are long-range weapons, they cannot attack units adjacent to them. Due to this, archers should not be in the first offensive line, as they cannot counterattack close-range hits. In earlier games, archers are characterized by their decent [[defense]]; however, they have low [[movement]], and their poor [[skill (stat)|skill]] prevents them from hitting as often as other units. When they promote to [[sniper]]s, their problems with movement and skill are fixed, however. Later games lowered their defense, made their movement average, and increased their skill stat. | Since they only use bows, which are long-range weapons, they cannot attack units adjacent to them.

Archers are basic units (except in {{title|Gaiden}}, being an alternative promotion for [[villager]]s) and can be promoted to [[sniper]]s. A new promotion is offered in {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, by which archers can become [[ranger]]s, an option that is also available in {{title|Awakening}} as [[Bow Knight|bow knights]]. | Archers are basic units (except in {{title|Gaiden}}, being an alternative promotion for [[villager]]s) and can be promoted to [[sniper]]s.
