Useful Info
Naga sharpshooters are infuriating back-line attackers which pelt you with smite-targeted arrows from the back lines. They can be found in the Snake Pit, often with other nagas or as part of Vashnia's sniper band.
Naga sharpshooters have the Archer flag, dealing up to 12 extra damage with ranged weapons.

Tips & Tricks
- Due to the bonuses from weapon and Archer flag, naga sharpshooters can deal surprisingly high damage at range. With a +0 arbalest, a sharpshooter can deal 45 damage/shot. That's a lot when 3-4 sharpshooters are on the screen. If you have multiple sharpshooters in LOS, strongly consider repositioning. Judicious use of corners can help tremendously.
- Unlike centaurs, sharpshooters won't stop firing their bows when you're in melee range. Also, thanks to Portal Projectile, their shots are often smite-targeted - hiding behind other monsters won't help.
- Like other nagas, sharpshooters are slow, so consider retreating if things get hairy. Due to the ranged attacks, try to retreat sooner rather than later.
