The Getai were famed for their archery skills in the ancient world, as the bow was one of their most important and powerful weapons. The Geto-Dacian archers, either on foot or horseback, used composite bows to shoot waves of arrows from a distance, thinning the enemy lines before a charge. As if the power of the composite bow wasn't enough, the arrow tips were dipped in viper venom thus making them even a more deadly opponent. However, the archers should not be used without serious consideration in melee combat as they lack armour and carry only a knife or short sword for hand-to-hand combat.
