Attack speed climbs by 4% per second of battle, up to +300%; each star adds 20% to that rate.

How to play it

Cheap ranged damage that attacks faster every second a round runs, and faster still per star, up to four times its starting speed. It has the longest range in the game, so from a back corner it still reaches their front row. Keep a body in front of it to buy it time. At three stars Piercing Shot becomes a five-arrow Volley that can hit one enemy with several arrows, so anything that walks up to it takes far more, and every arrow it lands heals it.

Longshot, Fletchers' apprentice. Shot the sign off the Fletchers' hall from across the mere. The Fletchers took her on the same day. Shoots faster the longer the round goes on.

Stars

Drop a duplicate onto the Longshot, or tap it and choose Upgrade, to star it up. Stars multiply health, damage and the ability's reach. The Longshot prices its own stars — 2, 2, 10 elixir per step — rather than the default curve.
