Goblin Archer

The Goblin Archer is an enemy of the Goblin Army that shoots Wooden Arrows at the player while standing still. Its attacks can be interrupted by knocking it back.

Tips

 * It is recommended to make this enemy a priority when dealing with an invasion. The Goblin Archer can attack from range and its attacks cannot be shot or struck down, making it a nuisance to players with low defense.
 * Unlike the Goblin Sorcerer, however, its arrows will not pass through blocks, allowing players to simply take cover when it shoots. It is also very useful to dig a three block tall tunnel and stay cornered at the end so that its arrows cannot hit the player.
 * Its arrows are unaffected by banners, making them one of the more dangerous enemies that spawn in a Goblin Invasion.
 * Goblin Archers seem to shoot arrows on a timer. This is especially apparent when playing with multiple players, as more will spawn, and sometimes a huge flood of arrows will fly from the horde of Archers. Grenades are recommended for this situation.

Trivia

 * The debuff Confused causes Goblin Archers to become very unstable, sometimes running faster than the Goblin Thief, and flipping between left and right in place.
 * Even with Blood and Gore turned off, its bow will still drop when it dies, just like a body part.
 * Goblin Archer and the Goblin Scout are the only goblin enemies with blue skin, with the former being the only event one to be blue.
