Archer · Viking

Winter's Shadow

A light-armored archer who opens from Stealth and fights at range, most of its damage coming straight from the bow. Shadow backs the bow, and it has little to protect itself if an enemy closes the gap.

Wears: Light armor and shortbow or longbow.
Fights: At range.
Plays as: Damage Mobility
Passive: Grants the Stealth ability. (Stealth: You gain Stealth, making you invisible to enemies while outside their Detection Range.)
Hits with: Weapon damage on ten presses (piercing by the weapon you carry), and Shadow on six and Slashing on one.
