: Couple of conflicting issues here. Yes, Soulless and
: Archers have the same maximum range. However, Soulless
: spears move slower than Archer arrows so that, if
: they're firing uphill or on level ground, they can't
: travel as far.
: So Soulless are willing to attack from as far away as
: Archers--but unless they have a major height
: advantage, they can't actually do it because their
: spears don't travel far enough. A lot of the time they
: *do* have the necessary height advantage, though,
: because they can float up to hilltops and such.
: As for why: they're floating undead monster thingies. Who
: knows how strong they're supposed to be?

: Archers have longer range than Soulless!!!
You can see clearly this,if you play multiplayer maps.
It's the only advantage that you can use against the Soulless.
From the other hand if the Soulless climb on a hill or a mountain then probably they will manage to make a further throw.
Oh! And don't forget Soulless can shoot when the enemy is close to them.Archers can't.
