Strategic Analysis

Fast cavalry archer with anti-siege bonus
Tactical Playbook
Siege Sniper
+3 vs siege makes Xianbei excellent at destroying enemy war machines. Dive in, kill the Trebuchets, and escape.
Speed Advantage
1.4 speed outpaces most units. Kite infantry and slow cavalry effortlessly.
Mass Production
At 60W/25G, Xianbei are very cheap. Build many and overwhelm with volume of fire.
Critical Point
Only 30 HP and 0/0 armor. Extremely fragile - any damage is dangerous. Never let them get caught.
Understanding The Stats
Xianbei combine exceptional speed with low cost but minimal durability. At 30 HP and 0/0 armor, micro is essential.
Ranged Attack
Moderate damage with strong siege bonus
No Armor
Zero armor means maximum vulnerability
Low HP
Extremely fragile - dies to any focus fire
Top Speed
Among the fastest units in the game
Coach's Tip
30 HP and 0/0 armor = 2-3 arrow shots kill you. Never stop moving. Hit and run is your only playstyle.
