Ranger (Total War)



The Ranger is a heavy strike archer unit of Ordona Province that doubles as surprise attack infantry in the right circumstances.

History
Ordonian Rangers were those dedicated to protecting the wild borders of the Province from encroachment. Initially established on the western border to watch and warn of incoming Moblin invasions, Rangers can now be found on all edges of Ordona, from Faron to the haunted canyons of Ikana. These stealthy soldiers know how to survive in the wilderness and take out almost any foe before they knew what hit them.

Role: Heavy Strike Archer / Surprise Attack Infantry
While at a distance, Rangers were capable of sniping enemies with a powerful crossbow bolt. When forced into a melee, they could cleave foes in two with their axe. This gave rangers the ability to fill multiple combat roles depending on the situation of battle.
