Strategic Analysis
Heavy cavalry with anti-cavalry specialization
- Cavalry Killer: +2 vs cavalry gives Savars an edge in cavalry fights. Combined with high HP, they win most mounted duels.
- Balanced Armor: 3/4 armor provides excellent protection against both melee and ranged. You can tank archers while fighting cavalry.
- Tank Presence: 145 HP is among the highest for cavalry. Savars can absorb significant damage before falling.
Warning: Expensive at 60F/75G. Pikemen and Camels still counter you. The anti-cavalry bonus is helpful but not overwhelming.
