Skeleton Archer

Skeleton Archers are basic skeleton units in Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep armed with bows. They appear frequently in the DLC, providing rear support for other skeletons.

Strategy
Skeleton Archers primarily attack from a distance using bows that fire arrows in a long arching trajectory. The damage output for each arrow is quite high, although this is offset by a slow rate for fire, and a slow projectile speed that makes them relatively easy to evade at long range. The arrows have a significant impact and any character sprinting towards an archer will be momentarily halted when hit by one.

Skeleton Archers are not especially tough, but their bony structure gives them a small target profile, particularly below the rib cage. Their heads and shoulders are protected by spangenhelms and pauldrons respectively, and these provide an ablative defence that completely absorb a hit before falling away to expose the bone underneath. A Skeleton Archer's critical hit location is its skull, and this will sustain damage up to half the skeleton's health before being blasted away. Despite this, any decapitated Skeleton Archer will continue to fight on until it is completely destroyed.
