Boyar
The Slavic unique unit. A heavily armored cavalry unit with the highest melee armor of any cavalry. Excellent in melee combat.
Tactical Briefing
You have 4 melee armor - the highest of any cavalry. This means melee units deal significantly reduced damage to you. With 100 HP and 12 attack, you're a solid heavy cavalry option. But against archers, your 2 pierce armor is just average. You excel in cavalry vs cavalry fights and against infantry, but watch out for Camels and Halberdiers.

Strategic Analysis
The Boyar is a **melee-specialized heavy cavalry**. Exceptional melee armor makes it dominant in cavalry fights.
- Cavalry Fights: 4 melee armor means Knights deal only 8 damage to you. You win cavalry duels.
- Anti-Infantry: Infantry deals reduced damage. Champions deal only 9 damage per hit.
- Cost Effective: 60F/70G is cheaper than Knights. Good value for the stats.
Warning: **Only 2 pierce armor**. Archers can still hurt you. Don't rely on armor vs ranged masses.
