Welcome to Archery
Hello and welcome to Archery.
In this game your objective is to get enough victory points to win. The amount of victory points is regulated by the number of players.
In this game you walk around watching upon your ranger from behind unless you play in -nv mode (normal view).














































Here is the map, the red lines show the lanes. On those lanes creeps spawn and start walking to the enemy base. If you kill enemy creeps you get gold and will be able to buy items from the different shops. To see a list of all items see the items section.













































The shops:
There are five shops on the map. The graveyard and the Hunters Hall sells the same items and is located in each of the teams bases.

1. Graveyard / Hunters Hall
2. Keeper of Artifacts
3. Weapon Dealer
4. Tauren Merchant
5. Goblin Vendor



In the beginning you should get the core items,  Hearthstone, a shield and Staff of Waves. You'll need to kill a few enemy creeps to afford them.
Hearthstone teleports you back to your base and Staff of the Waves is good for creeping. You should get a shield because otherwise you will get owned by tactics like wavehammer. If you want to know more about strategies including wavehammer see the tactics section.

You have five spells to chose from, at level 1 you get the Attack spell no matter what.
When you use this spell you shoot an arrow in the direction you are facing. Therefore you'll have to aim.
No unit but Infernal and Ancients survive your attack. To get those units you must buy expensive summoning items at Keeper of Artifacts.

You can level up by killing enemy rangers, creeps or  neutral creeps.
Every 15 seconds a new wave of creeps is spawned at your base and start walking in direction of your enemy's base. The same happens for them and they'll meet in the middle. You should follow the creeps and kill your opponents creeps when they meet.

Killing Creeps:
When you are creeping you should use SoW (Staff of Waves), your normal attack and Soul Steal or Arcane Force if you have it. Those spells are secondary spells and must be bought. Learn more about it on the spells page. The same counts for neutral creeps.

Killing Rangers:
If you mange to kill an enemy ranger you will be awarded with 25 victory points and 10 gold. When you reach enough victory points your team win. The amount of victory points needed depends on the number of players.

Killing Towers:
It is possible to kill towers, if this happens a new tower is placed at the same spot instantly.
However the killing team will get 100 victory points.

I hope you have a good time playing archery!
