Overview
White Feather Guard: White Feather Guards are defensive anti-cavalry infantry meant to protect Shu Archers and War Chariots. Their slowing ability and durability help prevent mounted units from reaching the ranged line.
Plan and execution
Keep a group in front of the archers and focus mounted units as they approach. Use the slow to buy time for ranged volleys, then withdraw with the protected army if the opponent’s infantry begins to overwhelm the screen.
Risks and adaptation
Their base damage is modest and they are not a general-purpose infantry line. Do not leave the Guards without the ranged force they are meant to protect or chase targets away from that force.
