Archery is a secondary skill with two sides. Is almost useless if a hero has only few (weak) ranged units. On the other hand, it may be even better than [[Offense]], which only gives 30% increse to [[melee]] damage, if a hero manages to muster strong ranged units like [[Titan]]s and [[Cyclops King]]s. From the faction [[Tower]] and [[Dungeon]] heroes are perhaps the advisable candidates to choose Archery because of the powerful ranged units. Archery combined with the artifact [[Golden Bow]] is an effective combination, not to mention the combination artifact [[Bow of the Sharpshooter]] in {{sod}}.
Archery gets a bonus of 50% at expert, which is superior to offense at expert which is at 30% (but offset if forced to melee). Archery combined with the artifact [[Golden Bow]] is an effective combination, not to mention the combination artifact [[Bow of the Sharpshooter]] in {{sod}}.
