Archer Bot

An aiming Mark I Archer Bot

**Archer Bots** are enemies encountered in Clone Drone In The Danger Zone.

## About

Archer Bots are the second enemies encountered during a human's trial. Their attacks consist of firing arrows at a distance and if higher level, swinging a sword. A common way to name these robots (often used in level editing) is "Bow + [Mark]." Such as a Bow 1 or a Bow 4.

\*Any robot can be made stationary in the level editor by setting "Dont move until player" to 1.

## Mark I Archer Robot

Mark I Archer Bots are the first and weakest of the Archer Bot family. They remain stationary at all times, while usually jumping to avoid arrows. They fire arrows at a slow rate. The width of the arrows that they fire are equivalent to that of the player’s default un-upgraded arrows.

In twitch mode, Mark I's act differently. If they are one of the last robots alive, they will move toward the player in a similar manner to a Mark I Sword Bot,

## Mark II Archer Robot

Mark II Archer Bots are the second type of Archer Bot. They now move and can dodge the player's arrows more effectively. There is also a stationary variation of the Mark II Archer having similar traits as the Mark I Archer. They fire arrows at a faster rate. The arrows that they fire are equivalent to that of having the arrow width II upgrade.

## Mark III Combat Archer

Mark III Archer Bots are the third type of Archer Bot. They move and jump constantly and fast to avoid incoming arrows. When the player is in close enough range, they wield a sword to attack. They are named Mark III Combat Archer because they have the ability to wield a sword. They use their sword when the player gets close. Because of this, an arrow fired can get stuck in between the player and a Mark III Combat Archer in a 'loop of blocking.' Their arrows are the widest being equivalent to that of the arrow width III upgrade.

## Mark IV Combat Archer

Mark IV Archer Bots are the fourth type of Archer Bot. They move around fast and constantly jump. They fire flaming arrows at a distance and in close range, wield a flaming sword. They are similar in behavior to Mark III. The width of their arrows are equivalent to that of the arrow width II upgrade, having smaller arrow width than the Mark III Archer bots.

## Mark V Archer Robot

Mark V Archer Bots are the most dangerous type of Archer Bots. Like all Archer Robots, they can be easily dodged by simply moving in a semi-random way. They can rotate their flaming arrows before firing, and can use a jetpack burst upwards to perform a double jump and land somewhere else, making them hard to hit. In Endless Mode, they will usually start stationary, but once engaged in melee will start leaping around. The best way to defeat a Mark V Archer Bot is to either knock them down with kick and then finish the job with a sword or to dispatch them using arrows from a distance. You have to be quick though, for they can get up very quickly and get a shot in you when you’re not ready. Unlike the Mark III and IV archer bots, the Mark V Archer Bot does not have a sword for melee combat.

## Jetpack Archer Robot

Jetpack Archers are unique in that they do not appear in any Endless Mode or Story Mode levels. They can only be accessed through the Level Editor or downloaded Challenges. As of update 1.4, jetpack archers can be found in the Ally challenge. They have a Mark III Archer Bot A.I, except they will use a Jetpack to move around. They have the aiming speed and firing time of a Mark III. This makes them more dangerous than a normal Archer as they can rapidly relocate, meaning if the player doesn’t pay attention to them, they can attack from an unexpected angle and be difficult to avoid. They appear as a mint green Mark I Archer with a red mohawk-like part on their heads.
