Archer Puppet

__NOEDITSECTION__
"Summons a gang of invisible Archers"
==Summary==
*The Archer Puppet is a piece of Hero Equipment for the Archer Queen. It is one of the two Hero Equipment that she starts with, the other being the Invisibility Vial.
*The Archer Puppet enables the Archer Queen to summon a number of Archers when using her ability. These Archers are granted temporary invisibility, but the Queen is not made invisible at the same time, unless she is using other equipment that grants her invisibility.
*The Archers spawned by the ability are equal in level to the level of Archers that the player has researched in the Laboratory. For example, if the player has upgraded Archers to level 5 in the Laboratory, the ability will spawn level 5 Archers.
*In addition to the ability, the Archer Puppet grants additional damage per second to the Archer Queen, and increases the amount of health she recovers when using the ability.
==Strategies==
===Offensive Strategy===
*The Archer Puppet's Archers can give the Queen additional damage, and distract defenses once they turn visible. However, because the Archer Puppet does not grant invisibility to the Queen herself, defenses will continue to fire upon the Queen, and may also harm invisible Archers through splash damage, unless the Queen is herself using equipment that grants her this, namely the Invisibility Vial or the Magic Mirror.
**Without an invisibility-granting equipment, the Queen remains vulnerable until the Archers become visible, but spells such as Freeze Spells and Invisibility Spells can buy time for this to happen.
**At all levels, the invisibility time of the Archers are shorter than what the Queen has from the Invisibility Vial, allowing them to be targeted first to tank for the Queen.
*The Archers can assist the Queen in doing additional damage as long as they do not get hit or fall victim to a ground trap. They can also be used to counter the Multi-Archer Tower as the tower will spread its fire to three targets as long as the Archers stay alive, but this requires the Archers to first turn visible.
*As with usage of the Barbarian Puppet, one should take caution in using the ability near empty spaces in the base, as the summoned Archers can be instantly wiped out by a Bomb or Giant Bomb.
===Defensive Strategy===
*Despite the invisibility, splash defenses and traps can still damage the Archers if they are in the splash radius, mainly cause by the Queen being the target.
