Useful Info

Naga sharpshooters are infuriating back-line attackers which pelt you with smite-targeted arrows from the back lines. They are occasionally encountered as part of a group of other nagas, or as part of Vashnia's sniper band, and can be encountered in the Snake Pit.

Tips & Tricks

Don't treat them like you would centaurs or other marksmen. Thanks to Portal Projectile, naga sharpshooters can fire through other monsters. They can also shoot their bows in melee range. If you have multiple sharpshooters in your line of sight, strongly consider repositioning. Judicious use of corners can help tremendously.
