Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

The Elite Kipchak maintains **devastating multi-shot DPS** with slightly improved survivability.

Tactical Playbook

7 Damage/Attack

5+1+1 = 7 damage. Higher DPS than Cavalry Archers.

Slightly Tankier

45 HP survives 1-2 more hits. Still fragile though.

Parthian Tactics

Research for +2 armor. Makes them viable in archer fights.

Critical Point

**Still glass cannons**. 0/0 base armor means they need constant micro. One mistake = dead Kipchaks.

Understanding The Stats

The Elite upgrade modestly improves stats while the multi-shot mechanic remains the core strength.

Higher Primary

5 Damage

+1 over base. 7 total damage per attack.

Slightly More HP

45 HP

+5 HP. Survives a bit longer.

Same Range

4 Range

Unchanged. Standard cavalry archer range.

Same Speed

1.4 tiles/s

Still fast. Good kiting potential.

Coach's Tip

7 damage per attack cycle is excellent DPS. 20 Elite Kipchaks deal 140 damage per volley - that kills 3-4 Knights instantly.
