(probably inb4) enemy arrows getting through my team's platforms

invalid@example.com (TryingKAG) — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 22:49:44 +0000

I like relying on builder/knight to shield me while I charge triple shot, but thin cover doesn't always work

these filters were supposed to be 1way, but arrows moving nearly parallel to platforms got past.
It appears that the moment I let my arrow lose, the stone block right in front of me shunted them sideways so they don't get stuck immediate after being fired, although...

[1239] The best archers in kag

invalid@example.com (kedram) — Thu, 19 Apr 2018 22:22:58 +0000

I was looking on the forums and couldnt find anything on who people here thought were the best archers in kag, personally I will always look at as Trumbles, Skinney, hammertater,oodle and tekk as some of the best archers to exist in kag, but what do you all think? Is there that special archer that you look at as being on the top that might not be on this list?

Which Archer Shot Do You Use The Most?

View attachment 61119
(The above is the Full power single shot setting)

It would be interesting to find out which is the most commonly used power seting.

Personally I use the Half power shot by far the most.

I would guess my usage is something like

-20% Quarter power
-50% Half power
-20% Full power
-10% Triple shot

[2119] Guide to ARCS

invalid@example.com (Abominas) — Tue, 07 Feb 2017 04:29:05 +0000

Greetings, it's me Abominas, or "****ing fag camper" archer man.
When my good mouse broke last year, I had to use a really bad bluetooth mouse for everything. Really spazzy, and it adjusted signal strength in the middle of my mouse pad, freezing for half a second. It was terrible, I couldn't play aggressively as archer anymore. I got pretty good at running away like a bitch. While I was camping, I learned how to shoot "arcs:"

Daskew's Pro-Archer Knowledge thread

Hey all.

I quite fancy posting some videos of myself demonstrating some skills with text explaining them, so maybe some players can learn from them, and we might refer nooblers to this hopefully very useful thread . And I'm not sure there has been anything like this before on this forum.

The archer is such a cool class and there is so much to learn with it.

I will start by posting again my 3 first tutorials I made before...

[915][Guide] How to use the Archer effectively

invalid@example.com (Klokinator) — Mon, 30 Nov 2015 06:18:48 +0000

I wrote my Knight guide yesterday. Today, I'll be focusing on using the archer like a pro. I'm actually pretty good with all the classes, but the Archer has gotten such a great buff in the 915 update that they actually become far more usable than in previous builds, thanks to increased coin gaining. While the 919 build update came out today, this guide pulls from my knowledge of 915 (As I haven't played 919 yet) but the majority of this guide will still be relevant to it and for at least a...

Learning Archer...

invalid@example.com (LOL265) — Sat, 21 Nov 2015 23:55:47 +0000

Hello Kaggers,

As all of you probably don't know, I'm starting to play archer. Having around 99% of my time spent in Kag as knight I really have no clue where to start. I have had a couple of people help me in-game (thank you), but would like to hear your tips / strategies to cell my learning process (and no I am not a complete noob at archer, I have mastered the basics). Anything helps!

Thanks guys

Arrows need a buff

invalid@example.com (samsamkill4fun7) — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 12:31:01 +0000

I think that archers full charge (non lega) arrow shot should get a dmg buff to 1.5 or make the stun on knights more noticeable on both flesh and shields i would like to have a mod(s) opinion on this

Grappling hook to OP?

invalid@example.com (samsamkill4fun7) — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 11:37:22 +0000

in my opinion (someone who loves archer class) grappling hook needs a Nerf. It can make you super fast whilst running away (jump grapple) and can fling you right over an enemy's tower or rush an unprepared team. i think it needs a slightly smaller range 2-4 blocks smaller max and a slower speed when climbing

What Are Your Opinions

USE WATER ARROWS on bomb jumping knights

invalid@example.com (whisper_dan) — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:59:33 +0000

Most of you reading this probably already know but here goes:

Although some games are won by archers who perform some sort of maneuver to capture the flag, most games are determined by either:

1: tunneling builders.

2: bomb jumping knights.

While I also think tunneling is lame, I don't think a proper solution exists in the game at the moment like a solution exists for bomb jumping veteran knight players.

Their heads are getting too big and we need more archers to teach them (and myself)...

(First Post) Archer, Distances shot to give perfect shots

invalid@example.com (pyro000) — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 20:39:40 +0000

This is my first post so I do not have much experience in this
This post is about people that hairs are pulled by a shot did not turn out as you expected in archer range.
Here I'll show some calculations to think twice before shooting.
In this first image we see that if we shoot exactly 27 blocks away therefore not be necessary to aim with the mouse, because that is the limit where the arrow is straight, bone where the cursor points:

[947] What Ever Happened To Hiding In Trees?

invalid@example.com (Duplolas) — Fri, 08 May 2015 00:11:06 +0000

I didn't want to make a suggestion to re-add the classic style of tree climbing because I wanted to first discuss it.

Why was it removed?

Con/Pros of having it?

Honestly I don't see why there was any reason to remove it. Archer could position themselves better to shoot arrows while also being hidden. Now they have to try to either keep jumping above the treeline to fire, or hang from the top with a grapple which never is high enough to keep them from getting killed by a knight.

A Layman's Guide To Archery

In this guide I will cover the basics and go in depth in some places, with a GIF or picture presentation in each spoiler. I have deliberately left out things that are not primarily Archer.
Needless to say, I am not good with archer, and I can't actually find many things out that need explaining with this class, It seems to have many options, along with being the fastest moving class, but It doesn't quite have as much pixel precision...

Welcome to the Ultimate Archer Guide! A.K.A Trumbleswastoolazy
This will be the full-on, definitive guide to archer combat, so I will need suggestions and/or corrections.

The Basics:

Hold down the left mouse button to loose an arrow. The longer you hold it, the more velocity it is given. Arrow damage is is dealt through the speed of the arrow when it hits the enemy, regardless of when you released it....

[947] Bomb Arrows are Ridiculous

invalid@example.com (Da_Truth) — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 07:35:32 +0000

Honestly why do we have these things?

They are the equivalent to Cannon shots but you get to spam them with a Archer with an grappling hook that it can repeatably fling out and never have to touch the ground while it fires.

I get your going for an arcade feel but why have catapults or kegs that are suppose to slow you down and leave you vulnerable when you can get better results from bomb arrow spam.

Fire arrow makes sense but the arc and flight distance on these bomb arrows needs...

[1239] Impracticalities of 'shotgun archer'

invalid@example.com (Rocketlock) — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 05:08:25 +0000

If you are above an archer with your shield facing down, and the archer hits you will all three of the arrows during a shotgun blast you go flying into the air as you would with a bomb jump. The jump very powerful, usually sending you into the map height.

Another less game breaking flaw is more of a nuisance. Before archers had to step outside of a door for at least 1 second to release all three of their arrows, now they can go in and out of the door in a split second leaving a knight with...

[1215] Archers

invalid@example.com (-Tj-) — Tue, 02 Sep 2014 17:33:00 +0000

Dear KAG community
I find that archers seem to be extremely overpowered now compared to the bulk of players who go knight + builder

For example, when an archer is firing at you, the arrows don't seem to be like the previous build. The arrows just seem to have way to much velocity, plus as soon as the knight puts down his shield or the builder comes out from his hiding spot they get owned by this ridiculous thing.

I dont know what was going through the devs minds + the testers who tested...

[1180] How to deal with bombs as an archer.

invalid@example.com (Blue_Tiger) — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 08:05:01 +0000

I wouldn't really call myself 'good' yet, but I feel like I've got down that majority of the mechanics of playing archer, dealing with knights, builders and other archers and using arrows at the correct time - but, the one thing I just can't deal with is bombs.

If you get in the knights face, he'll either just slash you, or throw the bomb in front of you and shield - if you get up high, he can easily throw, going behind blocks isn't a great shield unless you've got some distance, too. The...

[1057] Lack of Archers in Competitive Games.

invalid@example.com (PandemicCommander) — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:49:55 +0000

So I just finished a "Challenge the Zens" match and noticed this. Archers tend to be generally under represented in public games already. But in competitive games, you can see a team that's 100% knights and has no problems at all. It seems like archer is the only class a team can go fully without, as a team of all knight with a builder once in a while will do just fine. Yet if a team had no knights, they get utterly destroyed.

I can see how archers are balanced on paper, but in practice,...
