Elite Harassers

The Elite Harassers is the third Melee Tower to be introduced in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance, and is unlocked at the start of Silveroak Outpost. It trains two Twilight Harassers armed with both bow and sword, capable of dodging melee attacks and firing at aerial foes.
== Description ==

==Strategy==
*Elite Harassers have similarities to Ranger Barracks and the Assassins and are based on the Twilight Elves; having a ranged attack and the ability to dodge. With their small numbers and lack of armor, they are geared more towards dealing damage than stalling enemies. With their surprisingly good range they can actually be a good choice for supporting choke points rather than creating them, firing from a distance on enemies already being stalled by Dark Knights or other towers.
*Their strategy is very similar to the Barbarians but having dodge attacks like that of the Assassins, especially with the Backstab making them somewhat better at blocking compared to Barbarians and the only enemies they should fear are those with AOE attacks, which counter their dodge ability.
*The arrow storm ability can deal massive damage to unarmored enemies, including bosses; if paired with the Shadow Archer's shadow mark ability it can deal even more damage.
*The Elite Harasser can outrange most ranged enemies making them a good counter against them.
=== Weaknesses ===
The Elite Harassers can be outranged by Musketeers with their long range attack, so it's best to use high HP units like the Swamp Thing to tank their long range attack.

==Trivia==
* The Elite Harassers are based on the Twilight Harassers from Kingdom Rush: Origins. As they are introduced for Silveroak Outpost, Vez'nan likely chose them as they were the enemies of the Aredhel elves, of which Alleria Swiftwind was the princess.
* The achievement ULTRA INSTINCT is a reference to an ultimate technique used by Son Goku and some other characters in Dragon Ball Super. The technique allows the user to dodge and attack extremely fast without thinking about doing so. 
* Their 4th Tier appearance and some of their abilities are based on the Night Elf Demon Hunter from Warcraft III, as Backstab and Wrath of the Twilight are, respectively, Evasion and Metamorphosis.
* "Swift as a coursing river."
**A line from the song "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from the Disney film Mulan.
*"Not today!"
**A line from Game of Thrones spoken by several characters but associated mostly with Arya Stark. When asked "What do we say to the God of Death?" the answer is "Not today".
* Elite Harassers have names:
** Abarat
** Araevin
** Lathai
** Nevarth
** Tanyl
** Gaerradh
