Viking Brute Archers
From The Unofficial Bad North Wiki
Brute Archers are a slightly weaker variation of Viking Brutes. They have no melee attack, but a very powerful and accurate ranged attack with knockback and high range.
They usually appear alone or in groups of 2, although multiple ships may appraoch the island at the same time. They are very good at thinning your troops before they make landfall. It is important to avoid this at all costs. Break line of sight to them and use abilities like Plunge or Volley to instantly kill them from a safe position. These are the best ways to minimize the effectiveness of Viking Brute Archers.
Strengths[edit | edit source]
- Strongest ranged enemy in the game.
- Very high health and damage.
- Will decimate every unit that cannot block ranged attacks. (Pikes and Archers.)
- 100% accurate shots. Move your units while their arrows are flying to evade them or break line of sight to them to prevent them from firing.
- High knockback (even if blocked), may throw units into water which causes them to drown.
Weaknessess[edit | edit source]
- Can't block ranged attacks (Don't die from a single hit.)
- Often in low numbers.
- Weak against Infantry.
- Weak against skills.
- Cannot shoot units who are on elevated positions if they are too close to the overlooking ledge.
