Tips

Archers are best used for ranged attacks; keep them away from melee engagements.
Utilize their speed to reposition them as needed on the battlefield.

Fire Arrows:

Fire arrows offer unique tactical advantages. They significantly impact enemy morale, causing more havoc than regular arrows. While their kill rate is worse than regular arrows, they have the advantage of spooking elephants and annihilating chariots. The visual effect of a burning soldier can also be a significant morale blow to the enemy.

Fire arrows are particularly effective at lowering enemy morale.
Use fire arrows against elephants and chariots for devastating effects.
Be aware that fire arrows have a lower kill rate compared to regular arrows.
