Skeletal Archer

{{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}}

Skeletal Archers are Veteran Monsters. They are Skeletons equipped with iron armor and an Imbued Bow. Like all Veterans, they deal increased damage and have increased health as compared to their Vanilla counterparts.

Spawning

Skeletal Archers can spawn in the same locations as their Vanilla counterparts - almost anywhere in the Overworld at a light level of 7 or less.

All Veterans have a rare chance to spawn in place of another Vanilla monster. First, the chance to spawn a Veteran is rolled. Then, another roll is conducted to determine which Veteran will spawn.

Drops

Skeletal Archers drop Vanilla Skeleton drops, Veteran Ranged Drops, lingering potions, bones, iron ingots, and arrows.

Behavior

Skeletal Archers move fairly quickly and can chase players over long distances. They can also shoot arrows faster and farther than other skeletons.

Skills

Skeletal Archers can use Crippling Shot, which applies the cripple effect to the target and slows their movement, and Burning Shot, which ignites the target for a duration.

Advancements

Killing a Skeletal Archer is one possible way to complete the Kill a Veteran Advancement.
