Strategic Analysis
Tactical Identity
The Elite Tarkan becomes a **near-immune raiding machine** vs archers with devastating building destruction.
Tactical Playbook
4 Pierce Armor
Arbalesters deal 2 damage. TC arrows deal minimal damage. Raid anywhere freely.
150 HP Tank
Massive HP pool. Survives extended raids without healing.
19 Building Damage
Houses die in 3 hits. Production buildings die quickly.
Critical Point
**Still loses to proper cavalry counters**. Halbs, Camels and heavy cavalry still beat you in combat.
Understanding The Stats
The Elite upgrade dramatically improves survivability and building destruction capability.
Massive HP
+50 HP over base. Incredibly tanky.
Better Attack
+3 over base. Better building destruction.
More Pierce Armor
+1 pierce armor. Near-immune to archers.
Same Speed
Still very fast. Great raiding mobility.
Coach's Tip
150 HP with Bloodlines is 170 HP. Combined with 4 pierce armor, you're the best archer-resistant raider in the game.
