    Heyheyhey! Idea i was thinking about!

    Execution 1: You kick the enemy back and the enemy comes running at you again! But you fire tree arrows at them! One in the head, throat, and chest!

    Also this guy has a cool feat! Its called "archers assemble!" you can get a group of 5 - 10 archers in one area! They can also hold a capture point!

    His weapons customibales is the quiver, arrows, and the bow!

    A very creative and cool sounding idea! However, some players may have a problem with having a fully ranged hero in a game that is focused on melee combat. I'd love to hear the input of others on the idea.

    Perhaps have a CD on his Bow and Arrow? If i recall, a lot of archers were equipped with a short sword, so that could fit into the Melee comp

    I tried to make a balanced archer hero.

    However I would like the look of a armor mix between samurai and knights cuz they both had very skilled archers. (not that vikings didn't, but they are getting huntress next season)

    So yha... Samurai mixed with knight? That model (from the e3 cinematic trailer) balances knight and samurai look pretty well.

    So like that picture is one set, then another set is a medieval archer, then the next is a Japanese archer?

    What CD? A CD as in a CD that has For Honor on it or a movie?

    Also the sword may be a thing the devs would put for this hero. If they decide to take an archer hero for the knights and samurai. However I left put the full defense system because I believe that would make the Archer a bit TOO powerful. You know what I mean?

    Also the 1 1/2 bars of health are even in my opinion because of the whole range thing.

    OH! and about guardbreaking. The archer CAN guardbreak and he pushes like lawbringer.

    AAAALSO! He cant snipe guardbreaks.

    ALSO MAYBE A FEAT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO GAIN DEFENSIVE CAPABILITYS FOR 10 SECONDS!?

    I'm sorry but this is rubbish; can't you see where it's go wrong? The idea is great for another game but in this one if there was ONE ranged hero there'd be more spam onscreen than in your grocer's shelf. No thank you.
