Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

Heavy cavalry with anti-cavalry specialization

Tactical Playbook

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.

Critical Point

Expensive at 60F/75G. Pikemen and Camels still counter you. The anti-cavalry bonus is helpful but not overwhelming.

Understanding The Stats

Savars combine high HP with balanced armor and anti-cavalry bonus. At 145 HP and 3/4 armor, they are durable battlefield presences.
