Playstyle

  1. Cav has a charge on press 1 (Quick ChargeChargeThe Sipahis spurs their horses to charge in the designated direction, increasing their movement speed and dealing a small amount of damage. [Impassioned] can be used while Charge is active. The Sipahis leaps forward, crashing through all enemies. The enemies attacked take an extra 50% damage for 4.5 seconds. ) and a stomp on press 2 (CroupadeCroupadeThe unit jumps, causing area damage and knocking enemies off their feet. Grants immunity to control effects and increases all defences by 20% for 1 second. ). After press 1, another spell shows up which lets you do another sort of stomp
  2. Most of the time you just press 2 first because it gives a defence buff as starter, then press 1, then the follow-up spell

Balance history

9 changes
  1. BuffSource ↗
    • [Charge]: Sipahis automatically anticipate enemy distance and leap forward to trample. After the skill ends, the entire Unit automatically triggers [Impassioned], trampling once more. During the skill you can manually trigger [Impassioned] to end it early.
    • [Croupade]: only trample attacks are performed during the skill; regular attacks are no longer interleaved. Targeting logic optimized.
    • Mastery 8: after [Charge], [Impassioned], or [Croupade], the leap-trample animation cannot be interrupted and Piercing Damage received while leaping is greatly reduced.
  2. BuffSource ↗
    • Leadership 215 → 205.
  3. RebalanceSource ↗
    • Unit Mastery launched. Node 1: increases slashing defense by 60.
    • Node 2: increases piercing defense by 60.
    • Node 3: increases blunt damage by 80.
    • Node 4: increases movement speed by 8%.
    • Node 5: [Steel Riders] [Croupade] increases damage and damage reduction by 5% for each enemy hit; stack up to 5 times, last for 5s.
    • Node 6: increases armor penetration against shield infantry by 400
    • Node 7: reduces damage from shield infantry by 300
    • Node 8: [Glory of Empire] [Impassioned] will cause the enemies within range concussed for 1.5 seconds
  4. BuffSource ↗
    • Leadership 245 → 215.
  5. BuffSource ↗
    • Blunt damage increased by 15.
  6. BuffSource ↗
    • Reduced the cooldown of 'Burst' to 25 seconds (was 35).
    • Hitting an enemy with 'Burst' and then again with 'Trample' within 5 seconds will stun them for 4.5 seconds. Enemies stunned will take 50% increased damage (won't stun heroes but the damage increase applies).
    • Increased the Assist Score gained when the Sipahis stuns enemies.
  7. BuffSource ↗
    • 'Quick Charge' has been changed to 'Charge' which grants an extra 15% movement speed.
    • Added 'Impassioned', which can be used while 'Charge' is active. Enemies that have been hit with 'Charge' within the last 3 seconds are stunned for 4.5 seconds and take increased damage from the Sipahis.
    • Using 'Croupade' grants immunity to control effects and increases all defences by 20% for 1 second.
  8. FixSource ↗
    • Resolved an issue where the following units could not properly interact with supply points: Sipahis, Winged Hussars, Selemchid Cavalry, Falconettii Gunners, and Fortebraccio Pikemen.
  9. FixSource ↗
    • Resolved an issue where, when the Sipahi Cavalry killed an enemy hero whilst in formation, using Croupade would trigger multiple tramples.
    • Resolved an issue where the effect of the Sipahi Cavalry's Croupade would continue for a longer duration than it should.
