'''Archery''' is a [[secondary skill]], that increases the [[damage]] of [[ranged attack]]s, which also included [[ballista]].

Master Gremlins are the cornerstone of the Tower faction, being the unit which is used to clear the map in the early game and the only level 1 shooter. Basically, since [[Stone Gargoyle and Obsidian Gargoyle|gargoyles]] have relatively low stats and [[Stone Golem and Iron Golem|golems]] are too slow, the master gremlins are the best candidate for dealing the most of the damage in early battles. They should be surrounded and protected by golems and gargoyles, letting the gremlins do full damage with their ranged attack. However, be aware that they have only 8 shots, but that's enough for early game. Later in the game, they are gonna be replaced by [[Mage and Arch Mage|magi]], with superior stats.

== Discussion ==
[[Category: Creatures]]
Archery gives +50% bonus damage, which is significantly more in comparison with expert [[Offense]] which only gives +30%. This can give a significant increase in damage dealt by ranged attacks. [[Tower]] with [[Titan]]s and both [[Magi]], and [[Stronghold]] with both [[Cyclops]] and [[Orc]]s are good examples of towns that may benefit greatly from choosing Archery. However, as the skill only affects ranged attacks, it can be entirely useless if the hero has no creatures cabable of ranged attacks. For example [[Fortress]] only has only one low tier ranged creature ([[Lizardman and Lizard Warrior]]), which makes Archery a rather useless skill.
 
There are also three artifacts that can increase the effect of archery: [[Bow of Elven Cherrywood]], [[Bowstring of the Unicorn's Mane]] and [[Angel Feather Arrows]]. Although the increase is quite small, it can sometimes be enough to turn the tide of a battle. [[Golden Bow]] as well as [[Bow of the Sharpshooter]] (a combination or super artifact found only in the {{sod}} expansion) do not directly affect Archery skill, but they work well together with it.

Gremlins and Master Gremlins are level 1 creatures of Tower town. They are recruited from Workshop.

"Gremlins are indentured to menial labor around a Tower. While they are not great warriors by any standard, they are numerous and willing. Gremlins attack with their attached balls and chains. Master gremlins - those who have proven their loyalty - are cut from their balls and chains and able to hurl them in a ranged attack." RoE manual

General Tactics and Info

Master Gremlins are the cornerstone of the Tower faction, being the unit which is used to clear the map in the early game and the only level 1 shooter. Basically, since gargoyles have relatively low stats and golems are too slow, the master gremlins are the best candidate for dealing the most of the damage in early battles. They should be surrounded and protected by golems and gargoyles, letting the gremlins do full damage with their ranged attack. However, be aware that they have only 8 shots, but that's enough for early game. Later in the game, they are gonna be replaced by magi, with superior stats.
