Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes - Archer Intermediate Class Guide

Archer Class in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes

The Archer is one of the many intermediate classes available in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. This class is your typical long-range hitter who is able to deal damage from a distance without getting countered.

Archers are pretty balanced in terms of stats, but their skill stat is a little bit higher than the rest. This slight bump in skill makes them land critical hits more often. Another thing to note about archers is that they won’t be able to counter opponents at close-range. It is best to pair them with tanky units like Armored Knights which can serve as one-tile barricades against enemies.
