Overview
Silver-era light cavalry from Season XVIII: Avalon. They can turn during a charge and chain up to three charges in a row. The longer they charge, the harder they hit: +20% charge damage and speed every 1.5 seconds, up to three stacks.
Strengths
- Changes direction mid-charge, several times
- +20% charge damage and speed per stack, up to three stacks
- Three charges in one go
- Speed 10.0
Weaknesses
- Light armour, loses any long melee
- Only 21 riders, needs babysitting
- Braced pikes end them
- So do burst damage and ranged fire
How to Play
- Charge at the target (40s cooldown, lasts 10s).
- While it runs, Second Charge to change direction (25s cooldown).
- Then Third Charge for one more turn (25s cooldown).
- Long run-ups pay off, the stacks build with time.
- Hit and run. Go in, go out, never stay.
- Aim for flanks, ranged units, artillery crews and lone infantry.
