nice puzzle, took me 46 minutes. I’m really enjoying solving all your puzzles SudokuExplorer :)

Thanks emmettcito, I'm really pleased you're enjoying the logic in them. 46 mins is a really good time too! :-)

@Playmaker6174: Thanks again for trying and persevering with it! And yes, that arrow really opens up the puzzle. I'm thrilled you had an enjoyable experience. :-)
I've made one classical arrow sudoku (which I'll activate after a few weeks, since I've been exploring a few different non-arrow variants). But who knows, we might have archers with queens and princesses (see cam's princesses series https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Suche/erweitert.php?tag=Princess)? ;-)

Oh God. What a puzzle.
I can’t describe enough how much I love this puzzle, the interactions are stunning and beautiful (the arrow in row 3 is truly a blessing for the puzzle), but still very tricky. Break in is nice but afterwards the puzzle is a whole ride, it feels like it’s tended to become very hard after the break in. Took me almost 2 hours like last one, but it’s also worth every second.
Knights down, Kings down, what’s next? :P

Very nice design and puzzle. Even though I mostly just stared at the puzzle, I really enjoyed. Thank you!

Thanks for the lovely feedback! It takes a bit of time to spot the logic, so well-done for working it out :-)

The keys to the second and third phase of the solve were so well hidden!

Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you were able to unlock the logic :-)

I had foolishly looked at the comments on the video of your Hurricane puzzle and had the beginning spoiled so I chose to let it go, and so you bet if I jumped on this one before (hopefully) it appears on CTC! Absolutely beautiful!

Thanks Kafkapharnaum! No worries about the Hurricane puzzle, I hope you enjoyed Simon's solve! It was very different to how I approached it, especially his break-in and he made a lucky assumption. But it was interesting to see a different viewpoint. :-)

The archers are getting very close to the throne it seems. ;-)
Really enjoying these.
---
Haha! The archers have surrounded to dethrone the king! I'm really pleased you've enjoyed them :-)
