I'm familiar with that archer technique as I have used it many times myself on warriors. I can't really say what my strategy is because I don't really know what I'm gonna do till the split second I'm in that situation. As warrior, I don't generally hunt and chase down archers. If fact, there is a certain distance I have to be within before I'll bother attacking because I know the methods you described are more effective at a relative distance. Though, if they are within my circle of danger, more times than not, I'll get them. I can see when the fire arrow is coming and avoid it, then I know what is probably coming next so I get ready for that too. Poison can be sidestepped, I've done it before. No method is fool proof and there are exceptions to everything. I'm just relating what has been effective in my experience. I'm painfully aware of the archers who can get me with that tactic. But I should also point out, that as I'm getting shot my energy is skyrocketing also and a pissed warrior with a full energy bar is one of the most dangerous things in the game.

Tips that works for me:
- The fire dash and fire spin are worthless. I rarely use them when I actually go for the kill. Don't depend on them.
- Master your throwing axe. Its useful against any class.
- Make use of the shoulder tackle, the normal and Special O attacks.
-Shoulder Tackle leaves opponent free for your assault. -Normal O's animation cannot be stopped by anything. -L1 O is quick, strong, and gaurd breaks.
Guaranteed kills against archers/mages:
- Critical axe throw, L1 O. - Tackle, Square (twice), L1 O

Good point about the fire dash, it's my least used power because if the enemy is backing up, which they surely will be, it's useless. It has it's place though, it can be controlled so you can worm your way around a fool while it's going on and hit em from behind.

The fire dash (L1+Square) is very effective when used in the right situation. Though, I can say that I rarely use the whirlwind attack (L1+Triangle).
Other than that, I echo many of the same sentiments as my fellow warriors.
One more tip: Don't be afraid of the archers. They are your biggest threat, therefore you must attack them with ruthless abandon. If you're not confident with your axe: shoulder bash, combo, fire attack.
One last tip: If you use L1+Triangle + L1+Circle, do it in desperation only. Otherwise, you are using up way too much of your fire energy.

Although it's hard to do, If you can use a fire dash and follow it up with your heavy special it will take out both archer's and mages. Plus they don't have a chance to heal.

Here's a tip for all you ctr players. I have scored so many more rings by perfecting this move. Ctr is the only mode where you are allowed to run away like a scared school girl. When carrying the ring, and the way ahead is clear learn to run backward. By that I mean learn to continue running forward but switch your view to look behind you. It takes a little practice so you maintain a straight path. When done properly anyone trying to chase you will not even know that you are watching them run after you. Since they don't know this most people will just bear straight down on you. It's like shootin fish in a barrell with your axe. And once they get up just do it again. Word of advice- look ahead once in awhile to make sure the way is still clear. Especially if your team is racking up a lot of kills since these guys will be respawning right in front of you.

In CTR, as a warrior, I just continuously run foward in a zig zag pattern and jumping at the same time. It hard for warriors and archers to hit you even if they know your pattern, and scouts can't backstab you. All you have to watch out for is the mages firewall and trolls/ents if there are any. Other than that you should be fine since the warrior is hard to kill.

At Burnz. Remember that (sort of) 1v1 we had that day? I once managed to kill you when you were at full health (even though you killed me many times after that). The technique I used was the fire/poison/multi-shot routine. That said, you also have to take into account, that at best, I'm a sub par player. Imagine if a truly good archer like Untow were there instead of me. Or any decent player. One axe throw, and if you don't manage to catch up with the archer, you're usually dead. I doubt even the best warrior at half health can fight a fully charged up archer with decent skill. . Broly could, I swear broly is the best warrior and 1 of the only warriors who kill my archer every single time he lays eyes on my helpless archer.

Yeah thats one of those things I forget to do and take for granted. Thanks for the reminder Adan. As I've stated before, a warrior with a full energy bar is one of the most dangerous things in the game and the more energy you have at all times the better off you'll be. This technique also works with archers as you can fire normal arrows on hobbit homes, horses and such for a quick recharge of all your specials.
