Skills

1

Charge

The 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.

2

Croupade

The 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.

3

Impassioned

The Sipahis leaps forward, crashing through all enemies. The enemies attacked take an extra 50% damage for 4.5 seconds. Can be used while [Charge] is active.

Formations

Dispersed

A loose formation that reduces unit vulnerability to ranged weapons.

Block

A dense formation intended to enhance the unit's defences.

Line

The unit stands in two ranks, making it superior at making frontal attacks.

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

  • Sipahis Doctrine IIEpic

Guide

Playstyle

  1. Cav has a charge on press 1 (Quick Charge) and a stomp on press 2 (Croupade). 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
