Skills

1

Burning Plains

Each soldier lights the fuse and throws an exploding javelin. Upon being struck, each enemy will be soaked in naptha. After 2 seconds, an explosion will inflict damage and reduce their Block by a large amount. For a short time afterwards, the Outriders can throw normal javelins more quickly.

2

Ride Like the Wind

The unit throws a volley of incendiary javelins at the enemy, then replenishes their ammo by robbing them. After using this skill, the unit enters an energised state, increasing their Defence for 10 seconds.

Formations

Dispersed

A loose formation that reduces unit vulnerability to ranged weapons.

Crane Formation

A two-winged formation, good for attacking enemies to the front.

Unique doctrines The unit's own doctrine slots from the game data. Amya's picks live in the guide below.

Guide

Playstyle

  1. Poke from far with skill 1
  2. Also use skill 2 (shoots javs then rushes) to poke: let it shoot, then cancel before they rush towards the enemy
  3. Same combo to engage at melee: don’t cancel the 2, let them complete the rush after the javelin volley
