Strategic Analysis
The **Hit-and-Run Assassin**. Designed to eliminate high-value targets (Villagers, Monks, Siege) instantly and retreat.
- Charge Management: The charge bar indicates readiness. Engage only when full. The +35 damage ignores armor, making it deadly vs Knights too.
- Raiding: Elite Coustilliers can one-shot villagers (unless Loom/Wheelbarrow/Hand Cart complications exist, but generally lethal). Best raiding unit in the game.
- Cheap Gold: Costing only 55 Gold makes them easier to mass than Knights (60/75g). Use this to outnumber opponents.
Warning: Poor **Sustained DPS**. Once the charge is gone, their base stats are mediocre compared to Paladins. They also lack Bloodlines and the final Armor upgrade.
