Archers were a mainstay in both the national and private armies of many Templars, in both the Holy Land and Italy. They are typically some of the weakest soldiers in
the Assassin's Creed series, and are easily defeated with a single counter or stealth assassination. They detect an Assassin whenever he gets too close, or when he is spotted in a restricted area. They fight with their bows at a distance, and with standard longswords or maces when their enemy comes within range.
Assassin's Creed
Archers in Assassin's Creed appear on the rooftops of every city, and on top of large wooden structures in the Kingdom. They commonly have very low armor, and can be killed with throwing knives; or approached for a stealth assassination. They are approximately as skilled as an ordinary soldier, and will fall to a single counter attack.
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
Templar Archers are not as aware as the other archers in the other games, and will usually only detect and attack you when you are being chased. They are significantly dormant and oblivious to Altaïr, except when he tries to climb a structure. In this game, Altaïr can now assassinate from ledges, making them the prime targets of this technique.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, archers with the traditional longbow appear less frequently than in other games, as some archers are instead equipped with crossbows. Furthermore, many of the guards that are posted on rooftops are arquebusiers, who are equipped with an arquebus (rifle) instead of a bow.
Additionally, Ezio has the ability to assassinate multiple guards by ordering his apprentices to fire a flurry of arrows at them, while he himself simply continues his route. This action is called an "Arrow Storm."
