Fire Emblem's Hollywood Archers

Hero Crest –> Hunter: Gets counterattacks at 1 range if the attacker misses, at 0crit penalty. The vanilla bow series gets 2-3 range, with -20 hit at range 3. Has only 5 move. Can’t use ballistae.

Orion’s Bolt –> Sniper: Gets to use crossbows. All attacks get +15 Crit. Bows at 2 range get +15 Hit. Can use Ballistae (which are likened to crossbows). Has normal promoted 6 move.

I like this better if

• Ballistae are buyable items (because they otherwise aren’t common enough and aren’t placed conveniently enough)

• The 6 move goes to the Hunter instead (so you have a class that tries to get off the really long shots, and is accurate given time to aim, and thus doesn’t need the movement; and then the class that runs around going LOLARROWZ).

Edit: I don’t think the “trench warfare” issue is a big problem, depending on how many of these units there are. Storyline can justify stuff, too. Maybe ballistae are expensive and the enemy can’t afford to arm a whole bunch of them. Maybe there are story-justified turn limits, and the blue team isn’t going to have a lot of either type of unit anyway. Maybe a good idea to disable crit on ballistae, though.
