The brave [[Dwarf|Dwarven]] '''Riflemen''' have faithfully protected their mountain kingdom of [[Khaz Modan]] for hundreds of years. Yet they have once again offered their weapons and skills to the [[Alliance]] of [[Lordaeron]]. Using the legendary Single-shot Blunderbuss Longrifles, Riflemen are excellent marksmen and can shoot both land based and airborne opponents.

== Information ==
  +
Learn how to use ranged units with unit control.
  +
  +
It's very important to research upgrades. If you're mostly doing damage to the enemy research the damage upgrades first, then follow up with the armor upgrades. If you're both taking damage and dishing it out alternate between armor and damage upgrades. You should always get the [[#Upgrade|Long Rifles]] upgrade when using Riflemen. Rush to it as soon as possible.
  +
  +
You can build some Riflemen to add to your army or focus entirely on them with a Hero. This can be risky in 1 vs. 1s but very easy in 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, and 4 vs. 4. [[Paladin (Warcraft III)|The Paladin]] is a good choice with the Riflemen because he can heal them with [[Paladin (Warcraft III)#Holy Light|Holy Light]]. His [[Paladin (Warcraft III)#Devotion Aura|Devotion Aura]] can also give them armor making it more difficult for the enemy to kill them.
  +
  +
Riflemen are very weak against Melee Units that are attacking them so keep Melee units away. If a Rifleman is attacked by a Melee unit, instruct that Rifleman to run away and keep running until they give up chase.
  +
  +
Riflemen are great against light armor units since they do 200% damage to them. This can make Riflemen useful against such units as [[Gryphon (Warcraft III)|Gryphon]]s, [[Wind Rider (Warcraft III)|Wind Rider]]s, [[Frost Wyrm (Warcraft III)|Frost Wyrm]]s, and [[Chimaera (Warcraft III)|Chimaera]].

If you're both taking damage and dishing it out alternate between armor and damage upgrades. You should always get the Long Rifles upgrade when using Riflemen. Rush to it as soon as possible.

Riflemen are very weak against Melee Units that are attacking them so keep Melee units away. If a Rifleman is attacked by a Melee unit, instruct that Rifleman to run away and keep running until they give up chase.

Riflemen are great against light armor units since they do 200% damage to them. This can make Riflemen useful against such units as Gryphons, Wind Riders, Frost Wyrms, and Chimaera.
