Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Chosen One

    A direct skill hit on one enemy march.

  3. Skill 3
    Nomadic Empire

    A troop of only cavalry that keeps over 70% of its units deals more damage.

  4. Skill 4
    Military Lifestyle

    A troop of only cavalry below half its units deals more skill damage and gains extra rage when hit by basic attacks.

  5. Awakened
    Second to None

    With only cavalry, each Chosen One has a 30% chance to fire a second, full-level Chosen One.
