What it is
The only unit in the game with burn damage and the ranged core of the current meta. Community reports put its attack range at 300, down from 405 before it was cut for being too strong. Official and community sources usually write the name in the plural, Flaming Archers, also seen as Flame Archers; this site previously called it Fire Archer.
How to use it
Evolve toward Flaming Archers first: it is the general answer in ranked and in normal matches. Keep it behind shields, and do not run three or more at once or the rest of your line suffers.
What creators say
The first unit worth evolving; the only one with burn damage; range 300 after being cut from 405, still top tier, and counters for it now exist.
