Eternal Unit Spotlight: Yanyuedao Cavalry (5-Star)02/21/2023
Neigh time like the present to introduce a new unit.
Three Seasonal Units inspired by legendary Ancient Chinese heroes are coming to Conqueror's Blade: Eternal when the update arrives on February 23.
The third and final Unit is ready to be introduced: Yanyuedao Cavalry (5-Star).
"A colossus rises tall, casting a shadow over the valley beyond."
This is a Qian proverb meaning that men capable of great acts of war cast shadows so tall that all others are overshadowed. The Yanyuedao Cavalry, a force comprising only the elite of the elite, became one such colossus.
Wearing only the bare minimum of armor, these riders did all they could to ride as swiftly as the wind as they stormed through battle with their mighty glaives. Instead of a standard Cavalry charge, this Unit prefers to ‘charge up’ its slashing attacks, building momentum on horseback. Glaives deliver built-up strikes, delivering damage and armour penetration over a large area, dependent on how much charge was produced.
The bards of Qian would come to create songs and ballads in their honor for years and years to come.
Unit Characteristics
- A close-quarters focused cavalry unit without any charge skill.
- Causes a single instance of high area damage.
- Deals greater damage over an area the longer they charge up their attack.
- Do not charge and are therefore not stopped by musket fire or braces, enabling them to pass through the enemy's defenses to clear out musketeers.
- Skill [Mounting Dread]: Begins gathering momentum and damage.
- Skill [Dread Unleashed]: Attacks over a wide area.
- Skill [Rushing Blow]: Holds their glaives horizontally as they ride past the enemy's lines, slashing about as they do.
Stirrup some trouble and draft the Yanyuedao Cavalry by completing new Unit Challenges in Conqueror’s Blade: Eternal when they arrive later in the Season on March 27.
