Overview
Chakram Thrower: Chakram Throwers attack through lines of units, giving Gurjaras a ranged answer to dense infantry formations such as Halberdiers and Kamayuks. Their value depends on lining up several targets and keeping the throwers protected.
Plan and execution
Hold the Chakram Throwers behind cavalry, Camels, or another screen, then move them to a lane where the opponent’s infantry must approach in a group. Focus their fire through the formation and shift the firing angle when units spread out.
Risks and adaptation
They are not a universal replacement for cavalry or Camels, and an exposed ranged group can be pressured by mounted units. Do not let Halberdiers reach the throwers before the frontline has engaged them.
