Orc Archers are the basic archers of Mordor. They have little strength on their own but once paired with various leaderships they can prove deadly to all. They have been there since the original BFME and will always be there just like free Orc Warriors will always be free. It is important to not fill up your command points with only standard orcs but to also include Orc Archers as damage dealers. As usual, will make quick work of them. The Orc archers don't have a type advantage but are particularly strong from a distance; however, if you let the enemy get close you will lose the battalion.
