What are the advantages of Sylvan archers compared to Master Archers?

Generally, I almost never take the first-tier upgrade, except perhaps with the Unicorn Bow. It might be more advantageous against low-level enemies, but I doubt it's significantly so. However, it's clear who to take against archers and high-level enemies, as they pose the greatest threat in terms of damage output. Theoretically, masters should be even better against fast creatures that rush to your troops on the first turn. First, masters will push them back with their attack bonus, and second, they will receive the direct shot bonus just like the blue archers, as the enemy will be close.

Usually, low-level creatures are not capable of getting very close on the first turn. Blue archers are preferable. I always take them initially if there's no opportunity to retrain. Even with the direct shot ability (with the artifact), the first-tier upgrade can sometimes be worse at high levels.
