Shu unique ranged cavalry unit. Mobile archer platform with high range.

Tactical Briefing

Commander, the War Chariot is Shu's mobile ranged platform. With 6 range and 8 attack, it's essentially a mounted crossbowman. At 0.9 speed it's slower than cavalry archers, but the high damage output compensates. Use War Chariots for ranged harassment and kiting. They excel against slow infantry and siege.

Strategic Analysis

Mobile ranged cavalry platform

  • Ranged Harassment: 6 range allows hit-and-run tactics. Kite infantry and siege while dealing consistent damage.
  • Anti-Infantry: High damage output shreds slow infantry. Champions and Halberdiers can't catch you.
  • Siege Sniper: Use mobility to position behind enemy lines and snipe siege weapons.

Warning: Expensive at 65F/90G. Skirmishers counter you hard. Avoid massed anti-archer units.
