Guecha Warrior
Muisca javelineer with high pierce armor whose death heals nearby allied Guecha Warriors. Effective against archers.
Tactical Briefing
Commander, the Guecha Warrior is the sacred javelineer of the Muisca people. These warriors hurl deadly javelins at short range with devastating accuracy against archers and cavalry archers. Their most unique trait: when a Guecha Warrior falls in battle, all nearby Guecha Warriors within 6 tiles regenerate 5 HP over 3 seconds. This means the more they fight and die together, the harder the survivors become to kill. Deploy them in tight formations against archer-heavy compositions.

Strategic Analysis
The Guecha Warrior is a **resilient anti-archer skirmisher** that gets stronger as allies fall. Unlike regular Skirmishers, Guecha Warriors are trained at the Castle and have significantly better stats.
- Archer Counter: +3 vs Archers and high pierce armor (3 PA) make Guecha Warriors excellent against Crossbowmen and Cavalry Archers. They absorb arrows while dealing solid ranged damage back.
- Death Healing Synergy: Deploy in groups of 10+. As Guechas die, survivors heal, creating a snowball effect where the last few Guechas standing have been healed multiple times.
- Castle Age Power Spike: In Castle Age, Guecha Warriors dominate archer compositions. Their 3 PA combined with death healing makes them nearly unkillable by Crossbowmen.
- Spearman Bonus: +2 vs Spearmen is niche but useful — Guechas can support cavalry by picking off Halberdiers from range.
Warning: 3 range (min range 1) means Guecha Warriors are vulnerable to melee units that close the distance. Knights and Men-at-Arms will shred them in close combat.
