Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Hidden Moon

    Three seconds of more damage dealt, plus a stack of Blessed, which lifts cavalry attack and feeds Self-Control.

  2. Skill 2
    Royal Elephant Brigade

    Attacking a city or stronghold his troop takes less damage, and each active it uses adds an extra Blessed stack.

  3. Skill 3
    Arthashastra

    With only cavalry his troop gains health, and its basic attacks can stack Exhaustion, cutting the target's health and defence.

  4. Skill 4
    Self-Control

    Each active his troop uses brings a burst of speed and spends every Blessed stack on one direct hit that grows with the stacks.

  5. Awakened
    Maurya's Might

    Blessed can stack to four, and his troop's basic attacks can add Blessed stacks, more of them outside alliance territory.
