Their mobility gives them a way to raid or reach support units that a slower infantry line cannot catch Move in a grouped force, scout for exposed Monks or siege, and strike the support line before turning toward economy. Use their speed to withdraw from a frontline that favors the opponent, and keep enough vision to choose the next target They are not designed to win every infantry fight. Avoid running them into a prepared melee line or defensive building, and use a different unit to handle strong foot infantry
