The archers of the Eternian Sky Knights have lower strength and HP than other Sky Knights, but their covering fire with Poison Arrow must not be taken lightly.
Bestiary
The Sky Archer is an enemy in Bravely Default. It is fought as a fixed encounter in the Norende Ravine along with a Sky Dueler, and is later found as a random encounter in the Lontano Villa.

Battle[]
The Sky Archer, along with the Sky Dueler, has a much higher HP total than any enemy fought thus far. As such, expending Brave recklessly in an attempt to take them out both is a viable strategy, but it risks enemy counterattacks should they still be alive after the attack. It is safer to use Default first to guard against the enemy's attacks, building up BP so that Tiz and Agnès may attack without concern for turns spent recovering. If necessary, have Tiz use Treat or a Potion to heal.
When fought later in Lontano Villa, the party has access to Thunder, making fights against the Lightning-weak opponents much easier.
