Lü Bu Shock Cavalry

Heavy Xiliang Cavalry

The thrust of a spear is deadly enough; when it is in the hands of the cavalry and powered by the momentum of a horse in full gallop, it is almost unstoppable. The qiang is a one-handed spear known as the 'King of Weapons', with a scarlet tassel of horse-hair attached below the blade, denoting its elite status.

The tassel both prevents the blood of its targets from making the shaft slippery and obscures the blade when wielded, making it harder to block and evade when thrust.

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.
• Diamond
  The unit forms into a hard-edged diamond, good for both offence and defence but limiting manoeuvrability.
• 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.
