Skills
1
Gale Strike
The Companion Cavalry rushes to their target and lays waste around them with their spears.
2
Storm Pound
The Companion Cavalry rushes to their target and leaps from their mounts, striking from above. The impact from their mounts knock enemies down while their spears pierce their enemies, whereupon they draw their blades and fight for 20 seconds.
3
Zephyr Blade
Maintains a defensive stance while lashing out with sword attacks to protect your hero. Begins retreating toward the hero if far away, attacking enemies along the way.
4
Conquest
Your hero shouts out orders, increasing movement speed by 8% as well as 100 piercing, slashing and blunt damage. Doubles the base effect of [Sworn Guard] and makes it affect the entire battlefield.
Formations
Dispersed
A loose formation that reduces unit vulnerability to ranged attacks.
Wedge
A wedge formation where the commander is situated at the back.

Guide
Playstyle
- X-move in
- Press 3 for buffs (you can press it even if you are hero fighting, as it gives +100 all dmg stats wherever you are on the map)
- Press 1 when close but not contact to target (if low armor / low hp unit, you can let that 1 do a bit of dps, else go to next step instantly)
- Cancel it with V and instantly press 2 really really short time after contact
- Cancel that press 2 with V when ~70% of your unit impaled the spears and press the new 1
- Try to X-move out at the end of the 1 (but don’t cancel it too soon!)
This is the recommended playstyle vs units you know you can optimize DPS versus. If you need any immiediate actions, prioritise the 2 (Storm Pound).
Doctrines
Highest level you can.
Mandatory
- Epic Combat Doctrine (3/6/9 hits)
- Unit Damage Doctrine V
- Companion Cavalry: Conquest (unit-unique: global +100 piercing/slashing/blunt DMG on press 3, +Sworn Guard buff 18s)
- Companion Cavalry: Billowing Winds (unit-unique: +9% movement speed, +10% unit DMG)
Top Pick
- Epic Leadership Doctrine
Filler
- Health & Resistance Doctrine V (-5% DMG taken, alt for Leadership)
Don’t put
- DMG reduction & tank doctrines, not worth it
