If they manage to reach you, instruct the Champions to switch to the tight formation and the sides of the line will continue firing to the enemy flanks while the center will draw their broadswords and stall the enemy with their heavy infantry armors. If your army only has these guys, the only threat you’ll face is a top-tier shield wall or heavy cavalry charge, and even then most of them will die on their way to you. They will probably have a bigger range than your enemies’ skirmishers or archers, so they’ll force the enemy to come forward, exposing them further to the hail of arrows they’ll undoubtedly face. If you have an army of these guys, placed them in a line on high ground and you’ll simply shred armies left and right. They come equipped with a very powerful and high-range longbow, as well as a set of heavy infantry armor, and they have a bow proficiency of 280, which is nearly double of the archer standing in second place, the Aserai Master Archer.

The satisfaction you’ll have watching a line of these fire is second to none. These are the elite foot archers in Calradia at that time, and if you manage to get a medium-sized force of these, you’ll be able to win battles without the enemy ever having the morale or numbers to properly engage. This is hands down the most powerful archer the game has to offer if you don’t consider well-trained companions. Best Bannerlord Foot Archer: The Battanian Fian Champion
