Combat profile

The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.

• Hit points: 40
• Melee armor: 0
• Pierce armor: 2
• Line of sight: 5
• Reload time: 2 seconds
• Movement speed: 1.10

Related unit plan: Champi Runner scouting raid

Champi Runner: Champi Runners trade durability for speed and vision, giving them a raiding and scouting role distinct from a slower Militia-line fight. They can approach ranged targets more safely than ordinary infantry but should not stay in a prolonged melee Use the initial Champi Runner to scout walls and vulnerable resource sites, then add a group for short raids when the opponent’s army is elsewhere. Pull away from melee units and use the extra mobility to change targets before defenders arrive Their low hit points and weaker melee exchanges make a direct infantry brawl inefficient. Do not trickle Runners into a defended base or keep them near a slower army that cannot support their retreat
