Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

The Jaguar Warrior is the **supreme infantry counter**. No other infantry survives a prolonged fight against them.

Tactical Playbook

Infantry Annihilator

+5 bonus means 20 damage per hit to infantry. Champions die in 3 hits.

Anti-Goth

Perfect counter to Goth infantry spam. Huskarls melt against Jaguars.

Pierce Armor

2 pierce armor helps vs archers. Better survival than most infantry.

Critical Point

**Only good vs infantry**. Against cavalry or archers, you're just expensive Champions. Don't waste them on wrong targets.

Understanding The Stats

The Jaguar Warrior trades versatility for unmatched anti-infantry power with good defensive stats.

Infantry Killer

+5 vs Infantry

Combined with 15 attack = 20 damage to infantry per hit.

High Attack

15 Damage

Strong base damage. Competitive even vs non-infantry.

Good Armor

1/2

2 pierce armor is excellent for infantry. Takes less from archers.

Solid HP

65 HP

Above-average for infantry. Survives longer in fights.

Coach's Tip

15 attack + 5 vs infantry = 20 damage. Champions have 70 HP and 1 armor, so you deal 19 damage per hit - 4 hits to kill. They deal 13-1=12 to you - 6 hits. You win easily.
