Heroes with archery as a starting skill

Heroes who specialize in archery

Artifacts which stack to the ability or combine well with it

Discussion

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). This is one of the most powerful skills if used correctly. Works great with the artifacts the Golden Bow, the Bow of the Sharpshooter (a combination or super artifact found only in the Shadow of Death expansion) or with the stack bonus artifacts.
