Nevertheless, with a bow, the damage of the master units will be higher than that of alternative units, and this option should not be completely disregarded. Moreover, in addition to archers, druids will also become stronger.

Even with the Mega Bow, the damage of the old tier units does not always exceed the damage of the new ones, especially if the opponent is playing as Haven, Gnomes, or Necropolis. The 50% armor penetration begins to become advantageous starting from approximately 20 armor (the new units have 8-9 damage, the old ones with a bow have 10-16, the average is 8.5 and 13. Reducing the armor by 10 points will increase the damage by approximately 1.5 times, resulting in approximately 12.8 and 13), and the higher the armor, the more the new archers win. This can be easily verified in duels between Ossir and the rest, as he has both bows and both tiers of archers.

And also, initiative 11 is still not 10, and the new archers have 16 shots, while the old ones have 8.
