cavalry burst (lead/deputy)

Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Pelian Spear

    Two combo strikes on up to five nearby marches, slowing them and marking them to take more from later spears.

  2. Skill 2
    Wings of Arke

    Cavalry gain a large attack bonus and march speed, plus some health away from alliance territory.

  3. Skill 3
    Hephaestian Armor

    On the map the march takes less damage overall and less from skills and counters; absorbing enough triggers a free spear.

  4. Skill 4
    Sing the Wrath of Achilles

    In the field the march deals more normal damage, and each Pelian Spear lifts rage gain and cavalry attack for a while.
