Archery King Guide: How to conquer the Time Race

Archery King launched last week, sending mobile gamers into a competitive archery frenzy. The game is challenging, but great fun, with a simple multiplayer component that encourages you to develop your skills.

If you’ve already gotten the hang of things (perhaps thanks to our nifty beginner’s guide), it might be high time for you to take part in the Time Race, the only competitive mode that earns you premium currency. It’s a long way to the top of the leader boards if you’re aiming to cash in on the big prizes, but this guide will set you on your way.

Every second counts
Of course time is important in a time trial, but did you know that the clock is ticking even when you’re taking a break? If you stop to generate stamina, the clock is still counting the seconds. Make sure you have lots of stamina saved up so you can make it through the whole challenge if need be.  Don’t waste time worrying about the wind
The wind can make or break you, but when you’re being timed you don’t have time for any serious calculations. Watch the wind reading. If it’s 1, aim for one ring further out, if it’s 3, aim for 3 away and so on. It’s quicker to visualize this adjustment and you won’t waste precious time pondering your shot.
Focus on the target score
Your shots aren't judged for their accuracy. Instead, you have to get a certain number of points using a minimum number of arrows. Don't worry too much about accuracy, and instead aim for the high scoring areas in general. Landing 7's, 8's, and 9's should be enough to get you well over the target score. 

Time Race is shaping up to be a large part of Archery King’s competitive element. The rise to the top will be tough, so keep these tips in mind when you’re challenging the timer.
