Unit Guide: Yanyuedao Cavalry (5-Star)

Ride into battle with the fearsome Yanyuedao Cavalry by your side. Commence your journey into legend with this brand-new Unit when you unlock them via Unit Challenges in Conqueror’s Blade: Eternal.

Unlocking

The Yanyuedao Cavalry can be unlocked by completing Unit Challenges. They come with a Seasonal Bonus in the form of Leadership requirements decreased by 15 points for the duration of the Season. 

Background

The Yanyuedao Cavalry is a unique band of riders inspired by real-life historical figure Guan Yu—one of the five Tiger Generals. This Unit builds up a catastrophic charge by dragging its glaives across the ground and unleashing a brutal attack on its foes.

Strengths & Weaknesses 

This Unit’s power of momentum is its greatest strength. The Yanyuedao Cavalry can mount a dreadful attack by charging up their violent incursions. While these fearsome riders are deadly to enemy Units, their weakness is against Heroes, where armour penetration is 50% less effective.

Veterancy can improve attacking to the point that it will always cause at least 65% of their max damage, and health and cooldowns can be improved too.
