Goatman Archer

Goatman Archers are a ranged enemy type encountered in Diablo I.

In-game
Alongside Goatman Warriors, Archers can be found on many levels, ranging from the Cathedral to the Catacombs and Caves. They are classified as demons and can be formidable opponents when in large groups. Their Arrows stun and damage heroes from long ranges; allowing them to wear down adversaries before they can even close in for melee combat.

When confronting Goatmen Archers it is best to deal with them quickly. This can be based on evasion. Another way to circumvent their arrows is to move out of sight once you stumble upon archers. As they can no longer see you, the archers will come after you. This way you can ambush them around corners, giving you the advantage of melee range.

Stats
Within the game, Archers hail from several clans&mdash;the Flesh Clan, the Stone Clan, the Fire Clan and the Night Clan. They steadily increase in strength in the aforementioned order.
