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: 50
• Melee armor: 0
• Pierce armor: 2
• Reload time: 2 seconds
• Movement speed: 1.1

Field use

Use its mobility to choose the engagement: pressure exposed economy, reinforce quickly, or withdraw from a prepared counter. Avoid trading its movement advantage for a stationary fight unless the target justifies it.

Armor classes and counters

Armor-class bonuses are separate from base attack and the target’s melee or pierce armor. The class list below shows the unit’s documented combat categories and bonus-damage relationships; use it to judge matchups instead of relying on the unit label alone.

Eagle Scout: Eagle Scouts provide mobile vision and can transition from scouting into pressure against exposed economy. Their conversion resistance also makes them useful for checking routes near Monks without committing the main army Use the starting Eagle Scout to inspect the opponent’s production, wall gaps, and resource camps. Keep it moving between useful sightlines and send additional Eagles to raid once the route is known; regroup them before attacking a defended position Eagle Scouts have limited early damage and should not fight under a Town Center or Castle. Preserve their scouting value, and add the later Eagle line only when the economy can support the transition
