Overview

The upgraded Puru Sannāhya, a resilient elephant cavalry unit.

Availability and investment

Elite Sannāhya becomes available in Chronicles. It is associated with Chronicles (Chronicles unit roster). The listed cost is not separately recorded and the training time is 22 seconds. This tells you when it can first join an army and which resources must be reserved alongside Villager production, upgrades, and other military lines.

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.

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.

Battlefield role and use

The upgraded Puru Sannāhya, a resilient elephant cavalry unit. Training time: 22 seconds. Its upgrade path is Sannāhya → Elite Sannāhya. As a hero, it regenerates 25 HP/minute when 10+ tiles from enemy units. Its scenario or hero rules distinguish it from an ordinary recruit. Protect its special ability and survival value instead of treating it as a replaceable front-line unit.
