Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

The Elite Jaguar Warrior becomes an **absolute infantry destroyer** with damage that borders on overkill.

Tactical Playbook

Overkill Damage

25 damage per hit to infantry. Even Elite Teutonic Knights die in 4 hits.

Better Armor

2/2 armor means you trade better vs everything. More versatile now.

Cheap Upgrade

Only 1000F/500G. Upgrade early if facing infantry civs.

Critical Point

**Still infantry countered by cavalry**. Paladins and Knights will still demolish you. Don't forget to support with pikes.

Understanding The Stats

The Elite upgrade pushes anti-infantry damage to absurd levels while improving overall combat stats.

Massive Bonus

+6 vs Infantry

Combined with 19 attack = 25 damage to infantry.

High Attack

19 Damage

+4 over base. Dangerous even vs non-infantry.

Solid Armor

2/2

Takes 1 less damage from both melee and ranged.

More HP

75 HP

+10 HP. Survives longer in all fights.

Coach's Tip

19 attack means you deal 17 damage even to Paladins (19-2 armor). You're not completely helpless vs cavalry anymore.
