Overview

The Imperial Age upgrade of the Hei Guang Cavalry, shared by Shu, Wei, and Wu in The Three Kingdoms.

Availability and investment

Heavy Hei Guang Cavalry becomes available in The Three Kingdoms. It is associated with The Three Kingdoms (Unit). The listed cost is not separately recorded and the training time is 28 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 Imperial Age upgrade of the Hei Guang Cavalry, shared by Shu, Wei, and Wu in The Three Kingdoms. Training time: 28 seconds. Use its listed battlefield role to decide when to add it: compare the opponent’s composition, the target it can threaten, and the support needed to keep it effective.
