You've heard "naked archers" used with respect to "sword-cav-ram" as a combo. You can't just make a statement like this without first doing the math on the movement speeds. That is the only way to determine what effect a layer will have. Granted, there are more ways to achieve tradefire, but they get complicated. Nothing is quite as simple as sending a naked archer wave, so that's why we prefer it.
