== Activation ==
== Rivalry with Nightmare ==
All four pieces must be leather. Losing a piece mid-fight drops the class immediately, taking your passive effects with it. Most servers apply a warmup after equipping before Archer Tags can be applied.

Amerinide's rivalry with [[Nightmare (faction)|Nightmare]] is the one most often cited when the faction is discussed, and it came to a head on [[HCTeams Map X|Map X]].


== Energy & Effects ==
The two were built differently. Nightmare ran a stable core across maps under [[Losty0]] and [[AutismPanda]], with roughly a dozen players appearing on consecutive rosters. Amerinide ran wider, with ten captains and a larger roster on its recorded map. Those are two different answers to the same problem of holding a map, which is part of why the matchup drew attention.
Just like the [[Bard]], the Archer has Energy, they can use Sugar and Feathers to get Speed III and Jump Boost VII respectively (Some servers have Iron for Resistance III). But the big difference besides only having these two (or three). Is that the Archer only grants the effect to itself, and not to any teammates or opponents.


== Archer Tags ==
The rosters also overlap. [[AutismPanda]], Nightmare's founder, appears on Amerinide's [[Kohi Map 23|Kohi Map 23]] roster, as do [[Muskett]], [[Gordan]], [[Spyno]] and [[Substain]], all of whom appear on Nightmare rosters. Players moving between rival factions across maps was normal, but it complicates any account of the rivalry as two fixed sides.
An Archer Tag is applied when you fully draw back your bow, and then hit an opponent with that shot. The duration and damage multiplication vary per server, but is typically around 10-15s and 10-15%.


When in Archer, you're also immune to other Archers' Archer Tags.

Amerinide was a Hardcore Factions faction that competed on Kohi and HCTeams during the format's golden era. It is widely regarded within the community as one of the strongest factions in the history of the format.

The claims on this page about Amerinide's standing and its rivalry with Nightmare are recorded from community consensus and are not yet sourced. Map results, Citadel counts and VODs should be added. Rivalry accounts in particular tend to differ depending on which side is telling them.

Reputation

Amerinide is commonly named among the best factions HCF produced. The reasons usually given are that it competed at the top on both major networks rather than one, that it fielded a deep roster with ten captains under a single leader, and that it consistently contested the events that decide maps.

Reputation claims of this kind are community consensus rather than measured fact, and the wiki records the claim as a claim. What would substantiate it is a Citadel record, map placements and results against the other top factions of the period.

Needs: Citadel and Palace counts per map, map wins, and results head to head with the factions it is compared against.

Rivalry with Nightmare

Amerinide's rivalry with Nightmare is the one most often cited when the faction is discussed, and it came to a head on Map X.

The two were built differently. Nightmare ran a stable core across maps under Losty0 and AutismPanda, with roughly a dozen players appearing on consecutive rosters. Amerinide ran wider, with ten captains and a larger roster on its recorded map. Those are two different answers to the same problem of holding a map, which is part of why the matchup drew attention.

The rosters also overlap. AutismPanda, Nightmare's founder, appears on Amerinide's Kohi Map 23 roster, as do Muskett, Gordan, Spyno and Substain, all of whom appear on Nightmare rosters. Players moving between rival factions across maps was normal, but it complicates any account of the rivalry as two fixed sides.

Needs: what actually happened on Map X. Citadel results, raids in either direction, EOTW outcome, and a VOD or recap thread. Both factions' accounts should be represented where they differ.

History

Needs: when Amerinide formed and disbanded, which maps it played on each network, and how it performed.
