Ordo Cavalry hit-and-recover timing
Ordo Cavalry lets Khitan cavalry recover health while they attack, so it rewards controlled engagements where units can strike and disengage before taking too much damage.
Overview
Ordo Cavalry lets Khitan cavalry recover health while they attack, so it rewards controlled engagements where units can strike and disengage before taking too much damage.
Plan and execution
Field the cavalry line that suits the matchup, then use short attacks against isolated targets and pull back when the enemy screen closes in. Let units recover during repeated, safe contact rather than chasing ranged armies they cannot reach. Keep a separate force ready to intercept enemy cavalry while damaged units cycle behind the frontline.
Risks and adaptation
The recovery depends on attacking in melee range; pursuit without landing attacks does not restore health. Do not let the technology encourage prolonged fights against spear counters or a full enemy army.
