Volley of Arrows

Other allied ranged attackers gain Volleying. When this unit attacks, those units immediately make one ranged attack that cannot miss against the same target, regardless of position. If this unit does not attack, no Volley occurs.

The first unit with Volley was introduced with Vaelira Silverwake

Notable Abilities

1. Return Fire - Because Volleying attacks are ranged attacks, Return Fire can punish teams relying on Volley of Arrows. Damage returned is equal to 50% of the ranged damage, rounded up.
2. Deflection Shroud - Use Deflection Shroud to grant adjacent ranged attackers Deflect, protecting them from Return Fire.

Notable Modifiers

2. Going the Distance - With only ranged Units available, Volley of Arrows can create powerful concentrated attacks, but Return Fire and Deflect become especially important.
