Strategic Analysis
Explosive charge cavalry
- Explosive Charge: First attack explodes dealing AoE damage. Charge into grouped archers or infantry for maximum effect.
- Cavalry After: After the explosion, Fire Lancers are still 100 HP cavalry. They continue fighting effectively.
- Anti-Siege: Explosive damage wrecks siege weapons. Charge into trebuchet lines for instant destruction.
Warning: Expensive at 70F/75G. The explosion is one-time only. Halberdiers still counter you hard.
