These are my favorite archers, the range is amazing, they are especially good during TW field battles, since you can just have them hidden far in the back and attack anything without any retaliation.
When doing siege and I we are attacking. I start with these put behind a cover and then start attacking while I cannon or set ladders or run around in general. They usually get me 20+ kills before we even get in. Love these guys
One of the things i hated about both vanguard archers and the imperial archers was that they were supposed to be fairly accurate. But while the grouping was nice and precise the accuracy was often way off, meaning every arrow in a volley missed often. It seems that the overwatch ability for the longbows seems to be much better since every single model has their own target which they fire at with great accuracy rather than great precision but mediocre accuracy.
oh wow i didnt even know they put in overwatch, i'd been excited to use their tracking like arrow rain since i first got them, and now they stealth add the ability >.>
Imperials are better imo if you can babysit them properly, since you need to constantly switch in and out of bodkin mode. Longbows are better for melee classes since you can just park them in supply and target area far away.
they used to be really good because they had rattan cavalry's accuracy even at long distance, that was nerfed, so they are only good if you have full honor's on them.
taking them as well in last few days, ever since i was pleasently surprised by their effectiveness in a random siege for me (out of the blue i had a 150+ kill streak with them only lvl 14ish) ... so its funny that you made a vid about them ;)
They are a nice unit :-) Kriegs are on the list but sitll quite a way away, rattans are high up the list + I'd really like to check out some javeline sergents at some point :-D
@@EvoLozGaming Evo Loz Gaming on my way to unlock rattan rangers ..... but im still conflipping to a 1000 to decide what unit i need to delete now :( to make room
I know this question is kind of irrelavent to the video, but ive been playing this game for about 4 weeks now and ive reached the point where my best unit are my level 16 men at arms. But matchmaking is making me see more and more iron reapers and i can not figure out how to deal with them. it feels 1 or 2 units of them stops any attack/defense almost immediately. Its incredible frustrating, I've browsed the forums for answers but i havent found many good answers. Any input is appreciated.
Guns, imperial archers, braced veteran halberdiers, cavalry anything to be honest just pressure them (with that said DO NOT under any circumstances go into their charge the same with cavalry if you get caught in their charge while your charging even with cav reapers will win) You can even attack them as a hero but as I already said either do it after their charge or if you know their charge is on cool down then you can go in If you handle it this way they are no way near as strong but a combination of units of people working together for example imperial shields and reapers make things more complicated so you do have to be really strategic in how you approach them They are noway near as oppressive anymore
Some good tips there from coconut, they are certainly a tough unit to kill but their main strength is their charge, once that is over they aren't all that effective and units such as imperial muskets will apply a lot of damage pretty quickly + remember they are a 350 leadership unit so even though hard to kill once you have killed them you have killed that players likly only decent unit in his line up
Hey, welcome to the game :-) A good starting point is my beginner video, it covers a lot of the initial questions: th-cam.com/video/3pyyNLOjp0o/w-d-xo.html
So Low DPS but what DPS they do have is applied well due to pen and accuracy its pointless having 1000 dps if only 5% of it lands, that nad the range of these guys looks handy
I feels like they are demenesne castle archer at thier tier.. Compare to musket damage like way too far in damage i get like 1.5k crit. Vs spear serg. Btw mine is level 19 longbow. With full doctrine breakthrough piercing and assasination doctrine and health still 1.5k crit. Hope they have like a bodkin arrow like the imperial archer
high leadership value archer unit is risky and useless for me to bring in siege cause 1 mistake and a longbow player kill ur 60% archers with their ulti
You're not wrong it does increase the risk, but with increasing amounts of high tier heavily armoured units in game, it can be pretty difficult to rack up much damage with low tier archers
It heally is a shame that imp. archers and vassal longbows hit harder than Demesne Arbalists, the highest tier crossbow using unit in the game. Its nice they can pierce shields, but holy shit are crossbow units bad.

They are certainly a pretty awesome unit, the range makes them so nice to play :-)
You deserve more subs you do daily videos at 10 plus minutes
Thanks Buddy :-)

you can tell this channel is about to blow up in terms of subs
Would be nice :-) but I don't think enough people play conquerors blade for that to happen

Thats a good way of describing it but yeah the overwatch works really well with each unit selecting its target.
The range is huge :O that's what i loved about the prefecture archers befor the nerf. Guess I need to try the longbows next :D
Yeah the range makes them really enjoyable to use :-D

Are they better than imperial archers?
I prefer them to imperials but imperials are also pretty decent :)

How much are the kit costs for this unit? By the way is there a way to climb ladders down or do we always have to jump down? ^^
I'd have to double check but around 3-4k per kit. I think you can only climb up ladders
Thanks! But I guess I will be leveling Namkhan Archers for now because they are way cheaper.

Keep it safe keep it clean
What unit has the longest range archers or musketeers and which one like imperial or vassal
Archers have longer range than muskets. Personally I prefer the vassal but the imperial archers are also good
@@EvoLozGaming thank you a lot
So Low DPS but what DPS they do have is applied well due to pen and accuracy its pointless having 1000 dps if only 5% of it lands, that nad the range of these guys looks handy
the reason they are good cos they auto track the moving target,yep ,the AI,so u dont have to ctrl them
I hope they add more damage to it.
Their alpha damage is actually pretty good, it's just their rate of fire is pretty slow
I feels like they are demenesne castle archer at thier tier.. Compare to musket damage like way too far in damage i get like 1.5k crit. Vs spear serg. Btw mine is level 19 longbow. With full doctrine breakthrough piercing and assasination doctrine and health still 1.5k crit. Hope they have like a bodkin arrow like the imperial archer
@@EvoLozGaming u can increase fire rate of them by node upgrade
they seem to be far better than lower tier archers ^^
they sure are :)
How you are earning 18k unit XP? :O
Combination of a decent game + premium account + mercanary unit + 50% unit xp card, ends up stacking up well haha :-)

@@EvoLozGaming namkhan deal heavy damage on heavy armour unit, that bleed is op
They actually got nerfed.. got them max out for a long time.
Yeah I didn't mean the unit itself got buffed more than since most t5 got a heavy nerf it provided a sort of boost to longbows
It heally is a shame that imp. archers and vassal longbows hit harder than Demesne Arbalists, the highest tier crossbow using unit in the game. Its nice they can pierce shields, but holy shit are crossbow units bad.
IKR, slow to aim/turn, hit things for like 900-1400...So I reset my nodes and changed to longbow
