Tactics[]
- Archer's arrows can pierce so it may be more effective when placed directly in front of a long straight line.
- This can be effective for early game when placed correctly but is a support tower and should not be treated as a high DPS (Damage Per Second) tower.
Trivia[]
- It was previously named the Hunter.
- The Archer does not have perfect accuracy and will sometimes miss the Zombie it targets, this is due to low compatibility with the current version of Tower Battles.
- The green speck on the back of the Archer's hat (in the decal) was unintentional and is a green screen glitch.
- This tower was canceled a while ago due to massive bugs and lag, so it will not be released to the public.
- This tower can be obtained by becoming a tester for Tower Battles.
- The level 2 upgrade has the same upgrade icon as the level 2 Elf, Railgunner, and Mortar.
- The level 3 upgrade icon also has the same upgrade icon as the level 3 Aviator.
- The level 5 upgrade icon also has the same upgrade icon as the Kirby Archer copy ability
