How did the battle unfold, stack against stack, or were there other units involved?
After that, it's obvious that the archers would win, but if they had fired after the ballista, it wouldn't be a sure thing... So, the first shot is extremely important, and they both have the same initiative.
Also, if you position the ballistas at a distance of at least 4 squares (but not right next to each other), then the archers lose their advantage, because both shoot without penalty, while the ballistas, on the contrary, receive a penalty because they ignore defense. So, comparing who is better is not entirely reasonable. I wrote about why before, in the thread about level 1...
P.S. In general, you can get more benefit from archers, because their ability works in any case, while ballistas need certain circumstances. But if the ballista fires with defense ignored, then it's all over for whoever that arrow hits. (and if the ballista is also buffed with Divine Power from the Blessed Book, then it's definitely all over).
P.P.S. By the way, I think Teng is right. A ballista attracts less attention than an archer. When I see a large stack of archers in the enemy army, I try to neutralize them by any means, fortunately, most archers (or all of them) and the hero move before them. But the ballista is not as dangerous, however, it is still one of the main targets in the Heaven army.
