Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Soul of Carthage

    A direct skill hit on one march; against a rally it also cuts the skill damage of nearby enemy marches for three seconds.

  2. Skill 2
    Weeping Queen

    Archers gain defence and do more to infantry, and a march of only archers takes less normal attack damage.

  3. Skill 3
    Queenly Zeal

    Archers gain attack; as garrison commander her basic attacks may leave the target unable to profit from surround effects.

  4. Skill 4
    Beacon of Byrsa

    As garrison commander her archers gain health, and at most once every ten seconds a skill hit on the garrison is reduced.
