The Archon is the Amarr carrier. Formerly in possession of the strongest remote repair abilities of any vessel, the role of the Archon (and carriers in general) has shifted from logistics to mobile long-range damage-dealing in April of 2016. Although it has an extremely durable armor tank thanks to its resistance bonus, the Archon is mostly overlooked in favor of the Thanatos for both PVP and PVE due to its smaller fighter hangar and lower fighter damage, since carriers usually engage well out of weapon range of enemy ships.

In former days the Archon was also used in the "Slowcat" doctrine, similar to the concept of Remote Rep Dominixes or other drone ships like Prophecies or Vexors. This is no longer possible since the base armor hit points repaired by capital armor repairers was cut by nearly a third, among other reasons.

This is no longer possible since the base armor hit points repaired by capital armor repairers was cut by roughly half, among other reasons.
