Strategic Analysis
Tactical Identity
The Elite Boyar becomes **the ultimate melee cavalry**. 8 melee armor makes it nearly invincible against melee units.
Tactical Playbook
8 Melee Armor
Knights deal 4 damage. Cavaliers deal 6. You destroy them before they scratch you.
Paladin Killer
Paladins deal only 6 damage (14-8). You deal 11 (14-3). You win convincingly.
Infantry Crusher
Champions deal only 5 damage. You're nearly immune to infantry.
Critical Point
**Still weak to ranged and bonus damage**. Archers, Monks, Halbs and Camels remain threats.
Understanding The Stats
The Elite upgrade doubles down on melee armor, creating the most melee-resistant cavalry in the game.
Insane Armor
8 melee armor is unmatched. Near immunity to melee.
Massive HP
+30 HP over base. With armor, incredibly tanky.
Higher Attack
+2 over base. Better kill speed.
Same Speed
Standard cavalry speed. Good chase potential.
Coach's Tip
8 melee armor + Bloodlines gives you 150 HP. You're tankier than Paladins (180 HP, 2 armor) against melee.
