Overview

Su Dingfang is an Age of Empires II ranged infantry hero appearing in The African Kingdoms. This entry focuses on its AoE II role and unit statistics; campaign-only and trainable versions are identified separately.

Availability and investment

Su Dingfang becomes available in Campaign or scenario hero. The roster classifies it as Hero unit. The listed cost is not separately recorded and the training time is not separately recorded. 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.
