Archers are the ranged physical damage dealer class. The primary role of
the archer is to stand in the background dealing as much damage, as
quick as possible, to the enemy. Not only are Archers able to deal
physical damage but also some magic damage (mostly consisting of metal
damage). This makes them very flexible damage dealers, as they will
always have an answer to the enemies defense, whether it being magical
or physical.
