Strategic Analysis
Tactical Identity
The **Projectile Sponge**. Use them to raid under TC fire or dive archer masses.
Tactical Playbook
Shield Management
The shield blocks a set number of projectiles (5-7). Engage, absorb the volley, then retreat to let it recharge quickly.
Archer Killer
With their immense speed (1.6) and dodge mechanic, Arbalesters cannot stop them. They are the best anti-archer unit in the game.
Raiding
They can run under Town Centers, ignore the arrows, kill villagers, and escape before taking real damage.
Critical Point
Paper vs **Melee**. A standard Knight beats a Shrivamsha easily. Halberdiers destroy them instantly. Never take a melee fight.
Understanding The Stats
Stats are comparable to a Scout Cavalry, but the Shield mechanic adds 'virtual HP' against ranged attacks.
Dodge Shield
Blocks damage completely until depleted. Recharges fast. Weak vs mass fire (depletes faster).
Speed
Faster than almost everything. Can dictate when to fight.
Base Stats
Low HP and Attack compared to Knights. Rely on the shield entirely.
Coach's Tip
Your shield is everything - treat it like extra lives, not armor. Dive in, absorb the archer volley, then RETREAT before melee units reach you. Rinse and repeat.
