If reviews were rating SoV down for celica act 4 or the desert maps, or maps in general I'd understand. But they mark them down for lack of waifu system and the story...which is worse than Fates somehow...

You get heavy diminishing returns on a 2nd archer because it becomes really hard to afford a 2nd Killer Bow without grinding.

1-5 range archers work because most of the maps are open fields and all of them are Rout maps. Once you introduce complex indoor maps with restricted movement, you introduce a lot of issues where you have to make the map robust to archers cheesing certain segments firing over walls/impassable terrain.

Beyond that, Gaiden archers are only really useful because all the enemies are annoyingly bulky and most of your units can't kill enemies that easily, so varying degrees of chip damage are actually useful. Making their damage awful is part of balancing their insane range. Moving back to traditional good FE design where your units can actually kill things,1-5 range archers are either going to be useless because the chip damage is largely pointless, or be overpowered if they can actually kill things.

That said, considering how dominant cavaliers have been in Fire Emblem, I might be willing to accept an archer meta.

Awakening along with the 2 Jugdral games are probably the games where Cavaliers are most mediocre. Neither Sully nor Stahl have exceptional stats, and Awakening is a game where magic classes are particularly dominant (Sorcerer and Dark Flier in particular). Plus, the fact that Rescue becomes infinitely buyable midway through the game means their mobility advantage is largely nullified by the fact that with staff users you can just chain-Rescue people around the map for fairly negligible cost.

Sully is somewhat better than Stahl due to the fact that she has Wyvern as a reclass option and has a better early game in general since she has an easier time doubling. But regardless, neither of them will ever really be impressive.
