Skeleton Archer

A variant of the Skeleton.

Keeps its distance and fires slow, telegraphed arrows.

It keeps about 6.5 units away.

How to deal with it

The Skeleton Archer never walks up to you. It backs off to keep its distance and fires slow arrows, and each shot is telegraphed before it flies.

Its arrows are easy to sidestep once you see the warning, so the danger comes from a group of archers firing together while melee monsters push you into the lines. Keep moving across the lanes instead of away from them.

It has little health. Any weapon that reaches far will finish it quickly, and it is worth clearing early so you can stop watching the ground for arrows. You meet it in the Cursed Forest.
