Overview

Guecha Warrior: Guecha Warriors offer a mobile anti-archer option with more durability and attack than a conventional Skirmisher, but they give up range and pierce armor. Their speed lets them choose which fights to take.

Plan and execution

Use Guechas to move around an archer formation and pressure its flank, then pull back before slower infantry can pin them. Group them so nearby units can benefit from their support ability, and pair them with a frontline that can hold targets in place.

Risks and adaptation

Shorter range and lower pierce armor make prolonged exchanges against Archers dangerous. Do not use them as a stationary Skirmisher line or allow cavalry to trap them.
