Description[ | ]
Some Orcs carry bows. These Orcs, known as Arrer Boyz, are viewed suspiciously by the rest of da boyz, for archery is considered a bit "Gobliny". As Arrer Boyz can prove their prowess in combat, such oddities can be overlooked. Still, it is best not to camp next to Arrer Boyz, as a hail of arrows periodically pincushions passers-by. Yelling rude names at Arrer Boyz is a proven way to alleviate camp boredom and the start of many a good ruckus. Arrer Boy Bosses are notorious dead-eye shots that often order their mobs to keep shooting corpses long after their foes have fallen as "it's good practice".

Strategy[ | ]
While Orc Arrer Boyz on paper may not seem very effective, en masse they can be very useful. Their armour piercing is quite decent for their cost, meaning that 3 or 4 units can shred through many enemies given enough time. They also have decent melee stats/hit hard in melee, meaning they can fend off or at least damage harass units that get in their face.
