Longbowman 5 Tips to Counter the Imperial Skirmisher Line
1
They are the strongest trash unit for countering enemy archers and cavalry archers.
2
They possess a minimum range so they are useless if enemy melee units get close.[2]
3
Knights and light cavalry will completely overwhelm them in an open field.
4
They deal very little base damage so they rely entirely on hidden anti archer bonuses.[2]
5
Mangonels and Scorpions resist their attacks while dealing heavy splash damage in return.
