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: 30
• Melee armor: 0
• Pierce armor: 0
• Line of sight: 9
• Reload time: 62 seconds
• Movement speed: 1.1

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.

Armor classes and counters

Armor-class bonuses are separate from base attack and the target’s melee or pierce armor. The class list below shows the unit’s documented combat categories and bonus-damage relationships; use it to judge matchups instead of relying on the unit label alone.

• Armor class: Unique unit
• Armor class: Cavalry
• Armor class: Monk

Related unit plan: Missionary mounted-healing support

Missionary: Missionaries provide healing and conversion with more mobility and armor than ordinary Monks, making them useful alongside a moving cavalry force. Their support can extend a fight by restoring damaged units between clashes Keep a small group behind Knights or other cavalry. Heal the frontline during pauses, and use conversions against isolated high-value units when a safe approach appears. Move with the cavalry so the support does not fall behind or become trapped The shorter reach and vulnerability to cavalry make a Missionary risky when left alone. Do not send it into the frontline to convert a defended target, and keep it away from fast units that can catch it
