This video shows surveillance footage of the Archer Maiden 's(Empire of the Rising Sun) primary and secondary combat functions.

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Archer Maiden:

• Putting the 'great' in greatbow -- The archer maiden's weapon appears deceptively traditional. In effect, its projectiles have more in common with laser-guided armor-piercing rockets than with arrows of the past. And unlike the Imperial tankbusters' plasma cutting cannons, the maidens' greatbows can be just as effective against infantry as they are against aircraft or other lightly armored targets.

• The piercing barrage -- Archer maidens are trained to use specially-charged arrows that split up into a flurry of white-hot spikes. Such a rain of shrapnel can be deadly to clusters of enemy infantry, though is ineffectual against anything else. The maidens' bows must briefly recharge in between launching the heavier ordnance.

• Suitable for internal use -- Most modern infantry are trained to fight from inside garrisoned structures due to the prevalence of urban combat in today's wars, though archer maidens train more extensively at this than other Imperial divisions. When garrisoned, maidens can take down enemy aircraft from even greater range than usual.

• Specialized generalists -- Although archer maidens are arguably the most versatile of all the Empire of the Rising Sun's infantry forces, they are fewer in number than the Empire's fighting men, and therefore somewhat costlier to deploy. Their relatively slow rate of fire is another reason they tend to be more effective fighting in concert with other infantry classes instead of by themselves.

This video has no sound.

    rocket angels can fire at air targets as well, but they are a tier 3 unit, the empire was lacking an early (tier 1) anti air unit. The jet tengu doesn't count cause its a vehicle unit and you needed a war factory first.

  • @redalert2havoc

    How 'bout Rocket Angels?

  • voice for maiden...i think its the same person who voiced for naiomi.

  • @redalert2havoc you said the Imperial Archer Maiden was EVA from C&C3.

  • @redalert2havoc

    whatever

  • @Superfrycook

    yes since the empire was lacking in a infantry that can target aircraft.
