Where this unit shines, by fight type

WIPBlob, Flank, Skirmish and Duelling ratings coming soon.

Skill Tree Veterancy nodes unlocked as the unit levels. Hover or focus a node for detail.

Recommended veterancyTop Line: most nodes are useless but the last one (knockdown enemies with reduced movement speed) is a game-changer. It lets you knock faster after getting stopped or slowed Bot Line (recommended): Tankier line. Lots of flat -x DMG taken nodes which result in sky-rocketing tank. Last node = passive heal. With recent nerfs, Bot Line seems way more playable. Chariot value increases when 2-4 other people play chariot at the same time and just peel each other

Hero pairingLongsword (swap during chariot play, see Playstyle)

Skills

1

Movement Like Thunder

Hold the [Sprint Key] to accelerate chariot movement, increasing collision damage but continuously consuming steed stamina.

2

Stillness Like Mountain

While at high speed, press the [Jump Key] and rotate the camera view to strike targets with the chariot body, dealing high damage and altering movement paths based on camera rotation. This greatly consumes steed stamina.

Guide

Playstyle

  1. Always try to go in with speed. Better to go once the fight has already started, not before, not too late. Be careful about enemy dismount (pike right-click on horse, sns ult, poleaxe ult)
  2. During your chariot play, SWAP TO LONGSWORD, EVEN as light or medium armour. If you start the game with it or swap to it on supply, get used to going longsword at the same time
  3. Why? During your chariot play, you won’t play your hero. BUT WHEN you get dismounted, longsword is the best: you can heal (% heal on the highest-HP unit in the game), Ult (the charging one) to temporise, speed-buff just before remounting
  4. When dying or swapping to another unit on supply, swap back to your initial main weapon
  5. If you wanna see its counters (and so what to be careful about): https://discord.com/channels/970521195558613002/1394629799372390491
