Strategy

• Elite Harassers are functionally identical to Ranger Barracks and the Assassins and are based on the Twilight Elves; having a ranged attack and the ability to dodge. Their main strategy is to deal as much damage as possible rather than block the enemy. They have no armor and can not tank any attacks, so one has to make sure they’re in the backlines. Despite their non-existent bulk, Elite Harassers have surprisingly good range, so comboing them with Dark Knights so they can attack enemies from a distance while the Dark Knights stall is a good strategy. Fury of the Twilight is not recommended as a skill unless you the player plans to use them in the front lines since they lose their range attack when berserk and going berserk delays their respawning.

• Their strategy is very similair to the Barbarians but having dodge attacks like that of the Assassins, especially with the Backstab making them somewhat better at blocking compair to Barbarians and the only enemies they should fear of would be AOE attacks which counters their dodge ability.
• The arrow storm ability can deal massive damage to unarmored enemies especially bosses, if paired with the Shadow Archer's shadow mark ability it can deal even more damage.
• The Elite Harasser can out range most range enemies making them a good counter against them.

Weaknesses

The Elite Harassers can be out range by Musketeers with their long range attack so it's best to use high hp units like the Swamp Thing to tank their long range attack.

Trivia

• The Elite Harassers are based on the Twilight Harassers from Kingdom Rush: Origins. As they are introduced for Silveroak Outpost, Vez'nan likely chose them as they were the enemies of the Aredale elves, of which Alleria Swiftwind was the princess.
• The achievement ULTRA INSTINCT is a reference to an ultimate technique used by Son Goku and some other characters in Dragon Ball Super. The technique allows the user to dodge and attack extremely fast without thinking about doing so.
• Their 4th Tier appearance and some of their abilities are based on the Night Elf Demon Hunter from Warcraft III, as Backstab and Wrath of the Twilight are, respectively, Evasion and Metamorphosis.
• "Swift as a coursing river."
  • A line from the song "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from the Disney film Mulan.
• "Not today!"
  • A line from Game of Thrones spoken by several characters but associated mostly with Arya Stark. When asked "What do we say to the God of Death?" the answer is "Not today".
