These are the Marksman's own figures, the ones the Armory prints. In battle the Elven Court's trait is added on top: +11% damage · +6% range · +3% speed · +2% health. Range, reach and speed are in the battlefield's own units.

Special powers

Strong and weak

Strong: Light troops, fliers.

Weak: Knights, rushes.

As a ranged troop, it deals extra damage to Siege (×1.3), Anti-Armor (×1.2) and Beast (×1.2) troops.

Cavalry (×1.35), Shock (×1.3) and Beast (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Marksman comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 900 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Marksman every 26.4 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 16.9 seconds at level 2 and 10.8 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 650 gold to level 2 and 2,900 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

It is one of the five troops the Elven Court roster opens with, so it is yours from the first match — no unlocking.
