Archer - soldier stats and troop tactics in Clash of Clans
The weakest unit in CoC, but the Archers' ability to fire over walls with their ranged attack is of immense strategic value.
Used in support of Barbarians and Giants they form a powerful alliance that can quickly destroy enemy targets.
Their tendency to cluster makes them particularly vulnerable to Mortar fire, however, so consider spreading their deployment.
