Ok, this needs to be patched ASAP.

The Wolf Archer Harassment is out of control.

its a joke... Please fix.

what kind of exploit?

Ok I'll just leave it at Wolf Archer, harassment, and the fact there is nothing you can do...I'm not going to spell it out. If it's not an exploit, then forget about using POB...because the archer make POB look like a joke.

Already spotted in closed beta but devs didn't change it, till now at least... but i think it's something will surely change as it's one of the two worst and anticlimatic feature of the game. (the other is favorable 1% --> 100%)

you should consider that there ARE counters to this tactic, such as shooting them with skeleton archers movement reduction shot, sprinting into melee with fliers, assault units and other fast units, rooting them with knocked down attack, etc. while it is certainly a very annoying ability, and may need a tweak, it is not directly broken, just difficult to deal with. The bug that lets them sprint after shooting however, is broken

sure that might work on a low ap battle versus one unit...I'd like to see a counter when there are 2-3, with a POB and other support....Good luck.

actually, that's mainly my experience from the 300 AP bracket, with 2 of the archers, a PoB and a hunter.

Not saying its necessarily easy, and i agree they are a massive pain in the ass, but it is doable.

i agree - crossbowmen with harassment is pretty difficult to deal with. I run this myself, and its not always 100% win. most players who successfully defeat me always keep my archers occupied early in the game. As mentioned above, using flyers to sprint and engage them works really well. Ive never encountered any skeleton archers using the movement shot, but that would definetely help bring them down. In my opinion, the key to defeating this strategy is to engage them early on - their damage racks up pretty quick, so if you can take them down early, youre pretty much set
