Overview

A heavy Puru archer that deals additional damage at close range.

Availability and investment

Pattiyodha Longbowman becomes available in Classical Age. It is associated with Puru (Chronicles unique unit · Puru). The listed cost is 60 Wood, 35 Gold and the training time is 16 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.

Its ranged role lets it contribute before melee units connect, but the army needs a screen and enough space to keep firing while it withdraws.
