Magic Archer

What it looks like

The Magic Archer is a Legendary card that is unlocked from the Rascal's Hideout (Arena 13). It spawns an area damage, air-targeting, long-ranged, ground troop with moderate hitpoints and moderate damage. The Magic Archer launches an attack that travels up to its maximum range, while piercing through enemies. He takes the appearance of a man with gray hair with white stripes, glowing turquoise eyes, bushy black eyebrows, and a French-fork beard, wears a dark green tunic, a team-colored cape, a brown belt with a triangular copper rune and fingerless gloves, and dark brown pants and boots, and wields a glowing team-colored bow. A Magic Archer card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
