Order of Kings Unit Type Introduction: Archer

2026-01-06

In the real-time sandbox strategy mobile game Order of Kings, Archers are essential long-range damage dealers. This article details Archer characteristics, unit counters, advancement paths, and combat applications to help players master this unit type.

 

I. Archer Features and Counter System in "Order of Kings"

As ranged attackers, Archers specialize in precision strikes, damaging enemies before they close in. Damage is halved when attacking adjacent targets at the same elevation. Accuracy decreases when targeting moving units or enemies at higher elevations (with greater height difference).

Within the unit counter system, Archers are vulnerable to Swordsmen, Spearmen, and Cavalry. To maximize their damage output, position Archers safely using formations and terrain for sustained fire.

II. Advanced Archer Units in "Order of Kings"

Beyond basic Archers, advanced units like Longbowmen are available. Use Tokens to upgrade Archers. Longbowmen have 4-range attacks (wider coverage than basic Archers) but suffer accuracy penalties against targets ≥4 range away. This demands careful target selection and positioning.
