The Archer is a hero unit in Dungeon Keeper.
Description[]
"Although this hero is bad at hand to hand combat, he is excellent at a long range and very hard to get close to." |
— Dungeon Keeper Manual |
Archers are the basic ranged unit of the heroes. Higher level Archers have a wide range of abilities, all of which serve to hamper enemy movement while enhancing their own ability to inflict damage from afar. Archers are very flimsy and are defeated quickly.
Converted Archers like to manufacture at a Workshop if one is available; however, they can become annoyed if their Workshop is too small. Archers also make passably good researchers and scavengers.

Notes[]
- Archers at Level 6 or higher become significantly more difficult to overtake, since they obtain Speed. Converted Archers become very strong researchers and manufacturers when they reach this level.
- The icons for the Thief and Archer are the wrong-way-round, considering the archer's red garb, and they are hard to differentiate in any case. In later versions of KeeperFX, this is fixed by swapping back and giving the Archer icon a feathered cap.
