    Yes. But what if the archer is on top of the hill? They will kill.

    Unless I'm lagging hard or the enemies have archer masses on top of a faggot tower, I always prefer knight. I used to prefer archer, but its playstyle got really boring in some of the old updates and knights just have way more dandy tools.

    As long as I can throw bombs, i'm content. = Knight.
    I realise the others can pick up and throw bombs, but as a knight I generally feel more... threatening. hahaha

    I wasn't a very talented knight when I first started playing. My strategy consisted of running blindly into the fray and waiting on the respawn timer. Bombs were a rarity, and good hits on other players were all based on luck. I still can't bomb jump.

    The archer truly immersed me in the game for the first time. I was able to avoid that pesky respawn timer and still do damage to the enemy with little risk. Precision was the name of the game, and I had no difficulty lining up my sight.

    Building was daunting in a way only non-elitists understand. It seemed like I was the only one without the blueprint for our godmode tower that would win us the game, and I was conflicting with others with every block I placed. Making castle-esque bases was the shit, complete with backwall ramparts and moats filled with spikes.

    Watching others design better towers and traps below me as I rained down death became more fun than the actual fighting. There's always something to repair or maintain as a builder. The occasional assault-builder is grand fun too.

    :builder:

    Basically, me. I stayed Archer too, and it's fun seeing enemy archers prioritize me over other allied archers, because they know I'm a good archer.

    I do go Battle Builder sometimes if there's too many archers, or rarely Knight.

    Archer because the combat is more consistent.

    I prefer Knight over Archer, but if I need some good epic arrow dodging duels, all go Archer :).

    Support Archer, I shoot everything that moves (and doesn't move, such as the easy-to-hit catas). I try to make it a little bit harder for the enemy to advance and give a bit of extra kick to the knights on ground. Occasionally I engage in long-distance duels against other archers.

    If I get too much money, I bring bombs to the knights on frontlines.

    I'm now deciding between whether I like archer or knight more.
    Archer are ranged, but knights blow things up...
