Overview
Hybrid cavalry with lance and bow. Shoot first, then charge through. Tough mounts, but they take 50% more damage from fire.
Strengths
- Bow volleys, then a lance charge
- Arrows ignore block
- Mounts win cavalry duels
- Works at several ranges
- Best in open field with room to move
- Good against shield walls and loose infantry
Weaknesses
- +50% damage from fire
- Small unit, every loss costs damage
- Poor in rough or tight terrain
- Heavy artillery thins them before the charge
- Stuns and lockdown
How to Play
- Volley Fire first. Arrows ignore block, so always soften a shield wall before you charge it.
- Then Wedge and charge into the gap.
- Fall back behind friendly shields, reform, repeat.
- Dispersed on the approach against arrows and artillery.
- Never stand in fire. Circle away from flamethrowers.
- Fire resistance and toughness doctrines help with the +50% fire damage.
- Against other cavalry the tough mounts win the duel.
