Archer Queen

What it looks like

The Archer Queen is a Champion card that is unlocked from the Royal Crypt (Arena 17). It spawns a single-target, air-targeting, medium-ranged, ground troop with moderate hitpoints and moderate damage. The Archer Queen's ability makes her invisible, like the Royal Ghost and increases her attack speed significantly for a short time. She appears as an Archer, except she is taller, wears a crown, team-colored wrist cuffs and a loincloth, an olive-colored tunic and cape, has purple hair and eyebrows, carries a bigger quiver, and wields a crossbow with arrows that have golden points as their ammunition, while still being barefoot. An Archer Queen card costs 5 Elixir to deploy, and her ability costs an additional 1 Elixir to activate.
