Ice Archer
The Ice Archer is a ranged unit from the Viking faction. They are equipped with the Ice Bow. |
Characteristics
The Ice Archer is the main ranged unit of the Viking faction. They are equipped with an Ice Bow and Arrows. Their Ice Arrows deals no damage, but rather, it will freeze enemy units, causing them to move slower and freeze all together when they are dead. High health units have a higher tolerance to the effects.
Appearance
The Ice Archer is a Wobbler in Viking clothes and helmet. The Ice Archer and the bow are covered in snow and ice and will shiver while standing.

Usage
Ice Archers work best when you need to stall the enemy. The ice does not do damage over time like the Legacy's Blowdarter's poison but makes enemy Units slower. They could be used as front line Units to weaken the enemy. However, if a unit dies under the effect of frostbite it becomes a frozen barrier and turn into a wall. Ice Archers may not do damage but it will freeze the enemy to death and make an Ice Statue.
Ice Archers are somewhat ineffective against high health Units, as units will continue to move even if they're partially frozen and can unfreeze if they are not frozen fast enough, so long as they're still alive. This means that if Ice archers are the only remaining Units on the field, they may not be able to stop the enemy in time before they slowly reach their position.
Trivia
- It is incredibly useful against swarms of close-ranged but still ranged attackers, e.g. Candleheads.
- Ice archers' arrows deal no damage. Instead, they use a separate damage counter that causes units to be "frozen" instead of killed
- If you want a more efficient way to freeze Units then check out Ullr.
- Units frozen by ice archers (Or Ullr) will slowly sink into the ground. (like the Mammoths, Longships, etc.)
- The Ice Archer's used to be a normal wooden bow, it has now been changed to an ice bow along with cool ice arrows.
- Ice Archers now draw their bows in Early Access 0.13
- If an Ice Archer kills a Stiffy, it will remain mostly intact.
