The Cloud-Piercing Archers are Armerian enemies introduced in Metal Slug: Awakening.
Information[]
Key members of the Mad Serpents, the armed civilian organization in Armer, who specialize in long-range combat. As elite troops of the Mad Serpents, their Cloud-Piercing Crossbows represent the pinnacle of lower atmospheric mechanical technology. When unleashed, their split arrows can obstruct enemy movement from all directions, like shadows blocking their path.
Comprising of mostly young women with physical disabilities, this group has gained renown for their cruelty and bravery on the frontline against the royal family. They operate under the strict command of Ishtar, the owner of the Mad Serpent Longbow, and are revered within the Mad Serpents as the Goddess of War. Curiously, despite her widespread spiritual leadership, there are no recorded accounts of Ishtar's combat exploits.[1]
Gameplay[]
Cloud-Piercing Archers are an Elite enemy group. They stay still on one spot and never move when the player is close to them. They fire two different sets of three shots:
- All archers aim and fire a single arrow, a two-arrow shot, and a triple spread arrow before reloading.
- Some archers follow the previous set by charging and firing three larger arrows that split into four at a slightly rotated X.
