Imperial Skirmisher
Vietnamese unique Imperial Age upgrade. The ultimate anti-archer trash unit with enhanced stats. Shared with team allies in team games.
Tactical Briefing
The Imperial Skirmisher is the final form of the Skirmisher line. Exclusive to Vietnamese and their allies, you get 5 pierce armor and +5 bonus against archers - making you nearly invincible against ranged units. Your 4 attack and improved bonuses let you shred even Imperial Age archers. This is the ultimate trash unit for late-game archer wars. Remember though, you're still completely helpless against melee. Stay behind Halberdiers and let enemies come to your killing ground.

Strategic Analysis
The Imperial Skirmisher is the **endgame archer delete button**. When both players are low on gold and fighting with trash units, Imperial Skirms give Vietnamese and their allies a decisive edge.
- Arbalester Annihilation: Against Arbalester spam, Imperial Skirms are the perfect answer. 5 pierce armor means Arbs deal 1 damage. You kill them in 4 shots.
- Team Game Value: As Vietnamese, share this upgrade with allies. Having the entire team upgrade to Imperial Skirm can swing late-game archer wars decisively.
- Elephant Archer Counter: Your +5 vs Archer works against Elephant Archers too. Combined with Halberdiers, you can dismantle even the tankiest ranged compositions.
Warning: No melee armor whatsoever. Hussars, Paladins, and Champions will annihilate you. You MUST have frontline protection to function.
