A tricky question: the hero has expert-level archery, all the components for a sniper bow, and let's assume there are 100 griffin riders in the army.
1. If you assemble a sniper bow, will a shot fired in an open field at long range be more powerful than a shot fired with a golden bow?
1. Golden bow + expert-level archery + 3 artifacts for archery;
2. Expert-level archery + sniper bow (i.e., the same 3 artifacts, but assembled).
In both options, the damage will be the same, as assembling the sniper bow does not provide an additional damage bonus.
