| What faction would you say has the strongest ranged troops? |
I would not say there is consistency with regard to which is best ranged, it also depends on level and build.
Factions with the potential to dominate at ranged are
Fury barb - gob archers, orcs and cyclops
Battlewise Wiz - Gremlin engineers, battlemagi and then later on titans/stormcallers
Classic Necro - sheer number of skellybows and liches
Elves - with gransmaster bowmen/sharpshooters and anchorites
Holy knight - lots of wardens
Dwarf - patriarchs and master spearmen
Personally I would not say any one of those can ALWAYS dominate the other in a ranged battle for all levels as so many factors can come in. |
Fury Barbarian is the best.
Goblin Archers + Tyrants + Cyclops.
All are heavy damage dealers. All take time to be killed.
Even if the opponent gets the first hit with ranged, you'll always have ranged creatures that survive and can clean off the opponent archers. |
| If its ranged duel between any faction, I am pretty sure charmer elves will overpower. |
| BW shooters move before sharps. |
So classic might wizard magi just shit tier without money for arts?

this is true for charmer elves only because they only have sharpshooters which can kill most of the 2 split goblin stacks at best. But classic elf and necro, if they went first would defeat barb. Also, dwarf with avoidance and luck can be very tough to beat. |
| it depends, if barbarian opponent use orcs instead goblin, Orc will kill GMB first |
Orc will kill GMB first
Tyrants have same ini as gmb. Besides, elf has +3% ini so gmb is more likely to shoot first anyway. |
For Demon , Scubbi at lvl5 and then once u get Mistresses with Hellsfire + Last Ditch Talent
Could takeout Multiple Archers at once with Ricochet shot equiped with Hellsfire.
Also the return fire makes sure that u are taking a gamble by shooting at a Mistress , cause if she has more than 1 unit she is gonna fire back a Richochet shot at your Archer and if it turnsout to be hellsfired , then more loss for u.
But yeah thats all the range Troop Demon has , so not much of a range options for us :( |
Mistresses with Hellsfire + Last Ditch Talent
They nerfed hellfire so it doesn't really a lot of damage anymore, and mistress have low ini and defence. |

I played with them and found them very underwhelming. Even with hellfire, mistress is weak and slow. I guess its better than getting destroyed before doing anything but simply not worthy of being compared to barb/elf/necro/dwarf shooters. |
