An untrainable Chronicles javelineer that counters archers and spearmen. It has no minimum attack range, so it can keep fighting at close quarters unlike the standard Skirmisher role suggests.

Mercenary Peltast becomes available in Chronicles. Its listed production context is Chronicles. The listed cost is 35 Food, 40 Wood 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

Preserve space between this unit and melee attackers so it can keep firing. Pair it with a screen, focus fire on reachable targets, and avoid letting a faster force surround it.
