Elizabeth I
Skills
Skill 1Sovereign's GloryA ranged strike on one target, harder if it stands within melee range; the troop's next active skill then deals extra damage.
Skill 2Imperial InstrumentsSiege units gain defence and march speed, and a troop of only siege units deals more ranged skill damage.
Skill 3Let Tyrants FearIn ranged mode each ranged skill hit, and each cast of skill 1, adds a Glory stack of rage gain and attack, up to five.
Skill 4Secret ServiceRanged skill hits often add two seconds of extra damage and some rage; at melee range the extra damage is heavier and weakens the target.
