I have no idea what's happened, I don't remember there being anything huge when reading through the patch notes that would affect my archer so much, but I seem to be going on a bit of a rampage with him, with a weird skill build. Lv12 and have Volley, Caltrops, Spiral Shot and piercing shot.
Only thing that kills me is Lv3 cyclops. I can deal with everything else, but they just deal far too much damage while being too tough to kill. They just beat me up before I can kill them.
In 5 hours I shold have Lv6 gold storage, then its a case of saving up the 24k gold for a Lv4 castle heart!
