i heard that archer is the worst

[Mr.Peso]

That is also that we said that Archer is worth it once you became tier 4. And yes, you guys are top in kills.
Not that hard with all those legendary's and expensive weapons and armours

Well, archery is one of the easiest classes to get top scores with. And you don't need more than SS Bow and War Arrows for that.
That doesn't mean it's much harder with a Pikeman, though.

I love Archer.. from Tier 1 to Hero class.. I enjoyed every moment playing it. It was my first char and I don't think I could have made a better choice for my preference. With a rich history in Quake and CS the archer fits me perfect.

Dodging axes while picking off Nords with headshots one by one.
Suppressing a wave to save a teammate.. picking off Rangers and Ballista in Wave 10/18 on Hard.

Ahh, how can you not love Archer.
In the end it all depends on what you like.. I prefer ranged accuracy and the skilled shots that come with it.
Therefor my second char is now a xbow, hopefully a good one too one day.

Ha, Bluz, you just took it out of my mouth!
(I wonder how from such a distance...)

Archers are ok

hardest 2 level up ye cheeki skrub

[Plague]

On harder servers, I tend to get more kills than archers as an Xbow, and thats with a siege xbow and golden bolts. However I've also seen games that were won by a few surviving archers who were kiting King Ragnar after cades failed and everone too slow got wiped. I just hit tier 2 with my archer and am loving it so far though.

Archer is pretty easy if you got a good aim. Then you will always reach the top 3 of kills or higher. Archers can take out man enemys with one or two headshots which makes them a very strong support class for your team. We took out whole waves with just archers without any bot reaching the shieldwall. Also it's pretty good against enemy eanged troops.

[Bobo]

(...) good against enemy eanged troops.

That. Nothing can save team if our ranged would not take down the enemy on waves that are infested with repeatermen, ballistamen, etc. Also true for any ragna wave.
