What Do Archers Do?
Archers deploys two separate ranged units side by side rather than one troop, each able to hit both ground and air targets. That split makes them awkward to trade with cheaply, since removing one doesn't remove the other, but it also means splash damage kills both at once if they're standing close together.
Their damage and hitpoints are modest individually, but combined they can chip away at swarms or support troops that a single-target defender would struggle to clear in one hit.
Where Archers Fit
Archers are a flexible defensive support card - cheap enough to fit into almost any deck, and versatile enough to answer air troops, ground swarms, or medium-HP units without dedicating a more specialized card to the job.
How to Counter Archers
Splash damage is the cleanest answer - Wizard, Baby Dragon, Valkyrie, or a well-placed spell can wipe out both units in a single hit, since they stand close enough together to share most area-damage effects.
