Archery Expert

The Archery Expert unlocks after Player Level 40. It is a mini-game that is an opportunity to randomly obtain unit tokens and  XP Potions by opening reward chests.

# Modes

As a player you stand behind a crossbow and need to shoot arrows at enemies. There are two modes in the game.

## Flying Units

By default entering the game there will be units flying across the screen left-to-right or right-to-left. You need to shoot arrows at them in order to kill them. Whenever you kill a unit, you will receive a chest. The goal of course is to kill as many of them as possible.

## Octopus Boss

At the bottom of the screen there is a small octopus icon. Clicking on it will remove all flying units and replace them with an Octopus Boss in the middle of the screen. A timer of 1 minute and 30 seconds is also enabled in which the boss must be defeated.

The Octopus fight has two stages:

* In the first stage, four moving tentacles appear on the screen. Two of them are positioned on the right side of the screen, the other two on the left. The player must hit the tentacles to reduce the life of the Boss.
* The second stage triggers when the boss is at half life. The body of the Octopus will arise from the water in the middle of the screen. Unlike the tentacles, the body is immobile and can be more easily struck. It is however, still possible to attack the tentacles.

Killing the Octopus boss will grant the player 20 Gold Reward Chests. Even shooting it without dying will grand the player with up to 9 Gold Reward Chests.

You can activate the boss up to three times a day.

# Arrows

Here are the basic rules in regards to the arrows:

* Each player has a stash of arrows. If the player runs out of arrows, they can no longer shoot at the opponents.
* Every 24 hours, you can reclaim a free arrows stash (quantity depends on Guild Technology).
* Each day it is possible to donate an arrow to 6 friends or guild mates. For each donation, you also receive a free arrows. This leads to a total of 12 arrows obtainable this way.
* After exceeding 200 arrows supply cannot be claimed anymore. Although, arrow donations will continue to stack up.
* If you run out of arrows, you can purchase (only VIP5+) more for  but this is not recommended.

## Crossbow Power

By default, the crossbow is set to shoot one arrow at a time. It is possible to increase its power to 2 or 3 arrows - this increases the strength of each shoot, but it also means that missing the target is more costly. It is recommended to stick to the 1-arrow setup. Arrow Damage can also be enhaced by Guild Technology.

## Fill Bar

Under the crossbow there is a bar that starts filling as arrows are being shot. It takes approximately 50 arrows to fill the bar. Once the bar is filled, a fire arrow icon appears. Clicking it enables Frenzy mode for a short period of time. During this time, the crossbow shoots rapid fire arrows and does not consume from the arrow stash (basically unlimited fast shots). The power-up duration can be increased by Guild Technology.

# Monsters

There is a total of 6 different flying monsters that can be killed. The bigger they are, the better the chest and the harder they are to kill. Note that head-shooting enemies deals more damage.

 Large |   | Gold Chest | 8-9

# Rewards

There are three types of reward chests that are dropped by the various monsters and the boss, respectively. You can see accumulated chests in the bottom left side of the screen. Clicking on one of them opens them all.

Each open chest randomly grants one of the possible unit tokens or . While exact drop rates are unknown, it is observable than  is quite frequent.

Apart from waiting for new units to be added to the reward pool there is little incentive to save chests, especially if you are in need of  Unit XP.

# Tips

* Pay attention to your arrow stash. Keep a safe amount of around 70 before activating the boss just to make sure you have enough to kill him.
* In the first phase of the Boss battle, go for the right tentacle. It costs fewer arrows than the left one.
* You can continue to hit tentacles in the second phase, but it takes 3 more arrows (with Lv. 3 Arrow Damage Technology) than switching target to head. It's little difference otherwise.
* Don't waste arrows on the regular monsters. First, kill the boss, then kill enough flying monsters to fill the bar for Frenzy mode.
* Don't activate Frenzy mode immediately - it doesn't have a time limit in which you need to enable it. Patiently wait until you notice sufficient good monsters on the screen to shoot down.
* Don't fight the boss twice in a row. This will wastefully overflow the Frenzy bar.
