Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

The Kamayuk is a **stacking anti-cavalry infantry**. The 1 range allows multiple units to attack a single target.

Tactical Playbook

Stacking DPS

1 range means 3-4 Kamayuks can attack one target. DPS multiplies dramatically.

Anti-Cavalry

Bonus vs cavalry makes them excellent vs Knights and Cavaliers.

Gold Efficient

60F/30G is cheap for the power they bring when massed.

Critical Point

**Weak alone**. Single Kamayuks are underwhelming. Need mass to be effective.

Understanding The Stats

The Kamayuk offers unique stacking potential that multiplies effectiveness when massed.

1 Range

Melee + 1

Multiple Kamayuks attack same target. Key ability.

Decent HP

70 HP

Good survivability for infantry.

Low Base Attack

7 Damage

Compensated by stacking multiple attacks.

Cheap

60F 30G

Very gold-efficient. Mass them easily.

Coach's Tip

7 attack seems weak, but 4 Kamayuks deal 28 damage per attack cycle to one target. That's 4x a single unit's DPS.
