Ready… Aim… Fire! (Literally). Find out how to get the Flaming Archer in Command an Army, and whether this grind-intensive unit is worth the wait. My guide covers the three crucial steps to deploy the Flaming Archer for yourself, and explores its stats compared to every other ranged unit in the game to see if it’s flaming hot or not bringing the heat.
Puns aside, let’s get into it.
How To Get The Flaming Archer in Command an Army
To get the Flaming Archer, you need to first acquire the Archer Unit and level it up to level 20 to evolve into the Longbowman. Then, level up the Longbowman to level 20, and it will evolve into the Flaming Archer. The main difference between these three evolutionary units is the stat distribution and star-rating increase.
The Flaming Archer deals the highest damage of all Archer-type units, including the Crossbowman, the previous DMG-meta ranged unit. Range and Speed, however, remain the same in the Flaming Archer as they are for its previous lineage, the Longbowman.
Additionally, as implied by the name, the Flaming Archer is the first burn unit in the game, igniting enemies to deal additional burn DoT.
Is Flaming Archer Worth It?
Absolutely!
The Flaming Archer stacks damage, pinging enemies from far off with incredible speed. This makes it one of the largest threats during the game, as opposing units will have to close in to take them out, giving the Flaming Archers a better chance to succeed if given enough distance.
And, obviously, the burn grants additional damage bonuses, helping whittle down competition during both play modes. It’s the strongest ranged unit in the game currently, complementing and synergising well with partying units during team-based wars.
It’s also great for Attacking and Defensive positions, making it ideal for capturing flags or defending them, depending on how each game fares.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I level up units?
Play the game. As simple as this is, the more you deploy your units, win or lose, the more EXP they gain from battling. Be warned, it will take an incredibly long time to reach the level 20 Longbowman.
How long does it take to get the Flaming Archer?
You’re not gonna love this answer, but it can take around 20 hours of gameplay to unlock the level 20 Longbowman.
Where is the Archer from?
The Archer is one of the beginner units, but is also a pretty common pull from the Summons. Each summon only costs 50 Gems, so you’re not likely to overspend trying to get one.
What are the other best units?
I suggest reading my Command an Army Tier List, which includes commentary on each unit’s performance.
What star rating is the Flaming Archer?
A 3-Star, which is pretty decent considering how powerful it is. It’s not the highest star-cost unit to deploy, giving you more options when choosing which units to equip for war.
