Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

The Leitis is an **armor-ignoring cavalry assassin**. Deals full damage regardless of enemy armor, making it exceptional vs tanks.

Tactical Playbook

Armor Piercing

Ignores ALL armor. Teutonic Knights (10 armor) take full 13 damage.

Tank Killer

Best counter to high-armor units. Boyars, Paladins, TKs all melt.

Relic Synergy

Lithuanian civ bonus adds +1 attack per relic (up to +4). Leitis can reach 17+ attack.

Critical Point

**Only 1/1 armor**. Knights deal 10 damage to you (12-2) but you deal 13 to them. You win 1v1 but take more damage in mass fights.

Understanding The Stats

The Leitis trades defensive armor for devastating armor-ignoring attacks against any target.

Ignores Armor

13 True Damage

Bypasses ALL armor. Full damage to everything.

Good HP

100 HP

Standard cavalry HP. Decent survivability.

Fast Speed

1.4 tiles/s

Faster than Knights. Good mobility.

Low Armor

1/1

Less protected than Knights. Take more damage.

Coach's Tip

13 true damage is devastating. Paladins (180 HP, 3 armor) die in 14 hits. Knights need 16 hits (12-3=9 damage per hit).
