Magic Archer
Magic Archer overview
Card stats
Description
Not quite a Wizard, nor an Archer he shoots a magic arrow that passes through and damages all enemies in its path. It's not a trick, it's magic!
Magic Archer battle strategy
At 4 elixir, Magic Archer plays as a Legendary troop that targets air & ground. Released in 2018, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.
Opening plays and tempo
Lead with Magic Archer when you can float 4 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.
Support combinations
Pair Magic Archer with spells or support troops that amplify a troop's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.
Defensive flip
Hold Magic Archer for air & ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.
Synergies and deck ideas
Cheap cycle cards help you get back to Magic Archer whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.
Mix Magic Archer with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.
Playing around counters
Identify hard counters early
Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut Magic Archer down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.
Spell safety
Avoid stacking Magic Archer near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.
Upgrade priorities
Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling Magic Archer so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
