Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

The Elite Gbeto becomes a **high-damage ranged assassin** with improved range and devastating attack.

Tactical Playbook

13 Damage

Massive melee damage at range. Kills most units in 3-5 hits.

6 Range

Outranges Crossbowmen. Safer positioning in fights.

Pierce Armor Bypass

Still ignores pierce armor. Huskarls and Rattans melt.

Critical Point

**Still 0/0 armor**. A single Mangonel shot or focused fire kills them instantly.

Understanding The Stats

The Elite upgrade significantly boosts damage and range while maintaining the unique melee-at-range mechanic.

Higher Attack

13 Damage

+3 over base. Kills much faster.

Better Range

6 Range

+1 over base. Outranges most threats.

More HP

50 HP

+10 HP. Survives a bit longer.

Same Speed

1.25 tiles/s

Still very fast infantry.

Coach's Tip

13 damage kills Arbalesters (40 HP) in 4 hits. They need 7 hits on you. You win ranged trades if you micro well.
