Pirate Battler is widely considered by both the Battle Bricks Wiki and much of the community to be the definitive evolution of **Sailor Battler**, transforming a modest frontline economy unit into one of the game's premier long-range money generators. By combining **15 Studs** of range with the powerful **Bank Income ×16** passive, Pirate Battler can safely remain behind meatshields while continuously generating income throughout long battles, making him especially effective against durable enemies such as **Shieldman**, **Gallant**, and bosses that survive repeated attacks. Community discussions consistently praise his synergy with **Ignition Bank**, whose speed-focused upgrades dramatically increase the number of profitable shots he fires, while **Drummer Battler** further amplifies this strategy by accelerating his attack speed. Although many newcomers—and even veterans of *The Battle Cats*—initially overlook him because of his modest combat stats, experienced Battle Bricks players frequently describe Pirate Battler as one of the most valuable long-term investments in the game, recognizing that his true strength lies not in defeating enemies directly, but in generating the enormous economy that allows an entire endgame army to be deployed far earlier than would otherwise be possible.

Arch is the first dedicated long-range **Red Trait** enemy introduced in Battle Bricks and serves as Chapter 2's lesson that danger no longer comes exclusively from the frontline, using his **Bombos Bow** to fire arrows capable of piercing up to three battlers while remaining safely behind allied forces, forcing players to rethink positioning, wall placement, and protection of fragile support units rather than relying solely on durable tanks. Although he shares many mechanical similarities with the playable **Archer Battler**, the two are intentionally designed as mirrored opposites: Archer Battler supports the player's army by eliminating enemy formations from a distance, while Arch exists solely to dismantle the player's own formation through piercing attacks and the **Red Rage** mechanic that makes him increasingly dangerous after reaching half health. Within the Battle Bricks community, Arch is remembered not only as the first traited enemy to receive a playable counterpart, but also as one of Chapter 2's defining tactical enemies—proving that intelligent positioning can be just as important as raw statistics when facing the growing arsenal of Red Trait foes.
