The importance of Archery secondary skills depends on how much do you rely on ranged units. It is very useful for towns with multiple shooters (e.g. Castle, Tower, or Dungeon). However, for towns whose primary attacking force is not ranged (Inferno, Fortress) Archery can also help by increasing the potential of Magogs or Lizardmen. |
