Chakram Thrower
Gurjara unique ranged infantry dealing pass-through melee damage. Devastating vs massed units.
Tactical Briefing
The Chakram Thrower is a 'Professional Bowler'. It throws a disc that deals 100% damage to the target and 50% damage to everything it passes through. Because it deals MELEE damage at range, it is the ultimate counter to Rams and Skirmishers. However, it has low HP and is outranged by standard Archers.

Strategic Analysis
The **Anti-Mass Specialist**. Punishes enemies for grouping up.
- Deathball Counter: Specifically designed to destroy clumps of Pikemen or Skirmishers. The more units the enemy has, the more effective Chakrams become.
- Range Mechanic: Base range is 5, but the projectile travels further (up to 8 tiles), hitting units behind the main target.
- Melee Damage: They deal Melee damage, not Pierce. This means Skirmishers (high pierce armor) die easily to them.
Warning: Weak to **Onagers** and **Heavy Cavalry**. They lack the burst to stop a Paladin charge and cluster up, making them vulnerable to siege shots.
