Skeleton Archer

Skeleton Archer is a monster of the ranged type found in Dungeon.

Lore

The Skeleton Archer is a dead bowman from the guard that once watched over the Dungeon's galleries. It still carries its quiver strapped to its ribs and keeps the same post on the high walkways, as if its watch had never ended.

It fights from range, loosing rust-tipped arrows over the heads of the other dead. It always stays behind the front line, and a hero has to cut through skeletons and beasts to reach it while the arrows keep falling. In the dark galleries, the snap of its bowstring is often the only warning.

On Hard items drop as Nightmare (+40% to flat attributes and +30% to % bonuses); on Hardcore they also drop as Nightmare, and once in a while, very rarely, a Godlike (+80%) comes, delivered by letter.

Special enemies pay more: the Elite drops an item 38% of the time, the Champion 70% and the Ancient Monster 100%; Champion and Ancient Monster raise the item's rarity by 1 level. The jewel chance is 2× on the Elite, 4× on the Champion and 8× on the Ancient Monster. Each Reset also raises the jewel chance a little. See Special enemies (PT).
