Sneaky Archer/Clan Capital

__NOEDITSECTION__ __NOTOC__
"A squad of stealthy Archers is a surefire way to take out important targets. Until they get revealed, that is."

Level 1-5
==Summary==
*Sneaky Archers are troops available in the Clan Capital, available when the Sneaky Archer Barracks is constructed (this occurs automatically after the Barbarian Camp district is unlocked, when the Capital Hall is upgraded to level 2).
*Sneaky Archers are ranged troops that, like s in the Builder Base, are invisible to defenses for the first 5 seconds after deployment. They deal good damage per second for their housing space, but have low hitpoints. In the Clan Capital, they can only be deployed in squads of five.

==Strategy==
===Offensive===
*Sneaky Archers are good at quickly eliminating defensive buildings, but after their invisibility period has ended they need other units to tank for them. s, and to a lesser extent s, are good at this at low levels.
**The Super Giant can also trigger , such as s, to protect the Sneaky Archers.
*A good idea would be to place them first to take advantage of their ability, then put tanks in front as they become visible, so they are not harmed.
*Sneaky Archers can cause a Hidden Mega Tesla to pop up even when concealed.
*Sneaky Archers outrange the and can snipe away at an unprotected Crusher.
*s are extremely good at eliminating Sneaky Archers due to their large splash radius, especially if both the tanking troops and Sneaky Archers are moving. One should be wary of its blind spot, for the Multi Mortar will target the Archers if all of the tanks do enter the blind spot.
*Super Wizard Towers are a considerable threat to groups of Sneaky Archers even under cover by tanking troops, but they can be easily countered by a . However, a Super Wizard Tower is still capable of one-shotting a Sneaky Archer of equal level on a direct hit, meaning that squads of Archers will still be slowly whittled down under a Healing Spell.
*Do consider checking for traps before deploying Sneaky Archers, as Mines or s placed in front of feasible targets to be sniped can waste an entire squad of Sneaky Archers. Super Barbarians are good for this purpose, but if other buildings would distract them away from the location to be checked, s or even Super Giants can make viable substitutes.
===Defensive===
*A single or any trap can easily destroy hordes of Sneaky Archers. s and s are effective at eliminating entire squads of Sneaky Archers should they not be checked for; consider placing those in front of exposed defenses.
*Despite the Archers' low health, the Multi Cannon is ineffective, since it will waste the majority of its projectiles on just one unit.
*Placing buildings in front of defenses is a good idea. The Archers will be distracted and therefore turn visible before they lock on to a defense.
