Archer & Imperial Archer

Archers & Imperial Archers are the best defensive units in the early game aside from Wraiths. The Archers and Imperial Archers have the same stats, but Imperial units can be trained at a lower resource cost for the price of some Sapphire. Archers have a decent amount of defense against all units and only cost 1 Food per hour. However, they are not a good offensive unit. Archer Speed can be upgraded up to 40 times at the Obelisk of Power.

Requirements:
Lost Arts: Composite Bow
