Urumi Swordsman burst-and-reset plan
Urumi Swordsman: Urumi Swordsmen deliver a burst of damage when they connect, making them dangerous in close formations but less suited to trading under sustained ranged fire. Use the charge to punish an opponent that has already been engaged or confined.
Overview
Urumi Swordsman: Urumi Swordsmen deliver a burst of damage when they connect, making them dangerous in close formations but less suited to trading under sustained ranged fire. Use the charge to punish an opponent that has already been engaged or confined.
Plan and execution
Keep Urumis behind a tougher frontline until the enemy commits, then send them into dense melee where their burst can affect several targets. Pull them back after the opening contact if ranged units begin focusing them, and use another unit to screen their approach.
Risks and adaptation
Their low pierce armor makes Skirmishers and other archers unusually effective against them. Avoid walking Urumis across exposed ground or using them as a substitute for the more durable Militia line.
