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.

• Ranged attack: 10
• Hit points: 250
• Melee armor: 2
• Pierce armor: 11
• Ranged attack: 10
• Range: 7
• Line of sight: 9
• Reload time: 3.45 seconds
• Movement speed: 1.25
• Accuracy: 100%

Field use

Use the unit where water control matters: protect fishing and transport routes, contest enemy ships, or support a landing. Its impact depends on the map’s shore access and the rest of the fleet.

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: Ship
• Armor class: Capital Ships
• Thirisadai deals +4 bonus damage to units in the Ram class
• Thirisadai deals +7 bonus damage to units in the All Buildings class

Related unit plan: Thirisadai fleet-core deployment

Thirisadai are expensive but heavily armored warships that can form the core of a fleet against many standard ship lines. Their investment pays off when they fight as a group with support rather than operating alone Gather Thirisadai near the route that matters, then use them to hold water while lighter ships scout and screen. Focus enemy ships that threaten transports or fishing, and reinforce the fleet before starting a long chase Some specialized ships, including Longships and Turtle Ships, can trade well into Thirisadai. Do not assume armor wins every matchup; scout the enemy fleet and add the appropriate counter before committing your expensive core
