Pixel Art Preview: Backline Archer

I’m glade that more factions are getting ranged minions. Right now, ranged is very rarely used keyword. Hopefully this adds some sort of Lyonar flair to the keyword instead of just being a ranged Statstick.

Maybe: 4 mana
2/4 ranged
Deals triple damage to minions next to generals.

This supports cards like Decimate, creating a catch-22 situation like the old Star’s fury / Blast thing that Vetruvian has.

Frontline Archer exists, and yes it is extremely silly-

Wish it was neutral looks cool

As someone who had ranged lyonar deck I’m eagerly await for this card. 9 ranged isn’t enough on the deck :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, at least it isn’t a Midline Archer

Right? Because then it would get ruined by fog. :^)

I get the feeling from the name that it will be like the archers in some other strategy games, that can only attack units a certain distance away from them.

its super silly if you get a sun sister sterope and lux ignis onto the board at the same time. the game’s pretty much over at that point.

I don’t think semi ranges will work due to well - ranged.

The minion is gonna be full board range

Is that a Gwent reference?

Yes, you dense human being.

Why is nobody acknowledging the name weirdness? Its called “frontline archer” on twitter and “backline archer” here. Something is fishy!

I checked the reddit to see if it was named “midline archer”, bit its backline archer there as well. Maybe there is a hidden joke or mechanic in the name similar to infiltrate?
