Siphonarioi – Conqueror's Blade T5 ranged unit

Overview

Seven men with Greek fire. Firestorm (1) is a cone of flame, Scorched Earth (2) leaves the ground burning. The damage ignores most fire resistance. The price: 15m range and they die to almost anything.

Strengths

Blunt and fire damage that ignores most fire resistance
Firestorm: hard CC and burn in a cone
Scorched Earth: denies ground for seconds
Lethal at gates, breaches and tunnels
Can decide a siege on their own when screened well

Weaknesses

15m range
Dies at once to ranged focus or cavalry
Only 7 men
In the open, enemies dodge straight-line combos

How to Play

They delete choke points. They are not a front-line unit. Always keep shields or heavy infantry in front of them.
At gates, 1 then 2: Firestorm burns and controls everything in the cone, Scorched Earth keeps the spot on fire so nobody walks back in.
2 then 1 only when the enemy is packed tight in a gate, tunnel or breach.
In the open, use angles. Lay Scorched Earth where they have to walk, step behind your line, then Firestorm across them from the side as they cross.
Never walk up and fire 2 then 1 in a straight line in open space. People just step out.
Aim Firestorm slightly up into a wall or ramp so it hits heads and chests. Spraying the floor wastes it.
Best places: gates, breaches, tunnels, stairs, narrow streets. Territory Wars are full of them.
