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: 65
• Melee armor: 1
• Pierce armor: 2
• Line of sight: 5
• Reload time: 2 seconds
• Movement speed: 1

Field use

Use it to hold space, protect support units, or pressure an opponent that cannot kite it safely. The listed armor and bonus-attack classes determine which opponents it can trade with efficiently.

Related unit plan: Jaguar Warrior anti-infantry switch

Jaguar Warrior: Jaguar Warriors are a specialist answer to infantry-heavy armies rather than a default Aztec frontline. Their anti-infantry role is strongest when the opponent’s plan relies on Champions, Halberdiers, or other foot soldiers Scout the enemy’s core unit before spending Castle resources on a Jaguar Warrior switch. Send them with a general-purpose screen to engage infantry while ranged units or siege handle targets outside their specialty. Use their faster movement to catch foot soldiers, then return to a protected position if the opponent changes composition Heavy cavalry and ranged fire can punish an unsupported Jaguar Warrior force. Against mixed armies, a broader unit line may do more work; do not keep producing the specialist after the opponent has moved away from infantry
