Namkhan Archers – Conqueror's Blade T3 ranged unit

Overview

Archers whose every hit applies bleed, and the bleed stacks. High piercing damage and armour penetration, large unit. Steady damage over time.

Strengths

Bleed on every hit, and it stacks
High armour penetration
Strong in field battles and sieges from range
Large ammo supply for long fights

Weaknesses

Low health, dies in melee
Shorter range than some other archers
Weak against fast enemies
Needs a front line and good positioning

How to Play

Keep shooting the same target. The longer you stay on it, the more bleed stacks.
Stand behind a melee front line.
Use the armour penetration on heavily armoured units.
Skip fast targets. Bleed works best on slow or standing enemies.
Good in open field and on siege defence, from a safe distance.
