Lü Bu Shock Cavalry

Northern Lancer Cavalry

Where the sabre cavalry excels in the involved, grizzly business of the melee, lancers are the shock warriors – their purpose being to break apart enemy formations, or neutralise the threat of enemy cavalry.

Armed with a ji spear, these mounted warriors are well-armoured and swift, able to continue their pursuit even after the initial – and likely devastating – charge has taken its toll on the enemy.

Unit Abilities

• Miasma
  The dense and tough undergrowth that plagues the jungles of the South is a hindrance to all those who try to penetrate into the heartlands of the Nanman.
• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.
• Wedge
  The unit forms into a spear-tip, best for driving directly through enemy lines.

Attributes

• DISCIPLINED
  Does not suffer a morale penalty when the general dies. It can also rally after routing more often.
• RESISTANT TO FATIGUE
  Takes longer to feel fatigued.
• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Role: flanking
  Fast, agile and devastating - flanking units can turn the tide of battle with a well-timed charge or by routing enemy missile units.
• Good charge
  This unit has a superior, devastating charge attack compared to other flanking units.
• Weak against missile attacks
  This unit is unshielded and therefore has little defence against missile attacks.
