Now my "anti-ranged" stance is clear?

P.S. Whew... I'm exhausted from writing...

Your position is perfectly understandable.

However, there is one objection.

Let's take week 8.

Yes, the archers are visible, but if you place them further away from the Fury units, the opponent will face a difficult question. Who should they attack? 150-170 archers, risking taking two more hits from 70-110 (depending on the presence of Dwelling) Fury units.
The choice in favor of the Fury units is obvious. This means that the archers will fire at full strength at least twice. And that's at least 900 poison damage + 50% physical damage. And the Mistresses will go invisible.
