Skills & Formations
Burning PlainsBurning PlainsEach soldier lights the fuse and throws an exploding javelin. Upon being struck, each enemy will be soaked in naptha. After 2 seconds, an explosion will inflict damage and reduce their Block by a large amount. For a short time afterwards, the Outriders can throw normal javelins more quickly.
Ride Like the WindRide Like the WindThe unit throws a volley of incendiary javelins at the enemy, then replenishes their ammo by robbing them. After using this skill, the unit enters an energised state, increasing their Defence for 10 seconds.

- Also use skill 2 (shoots javs then rushes) to poke: let it shoot, then cancel before they rush towards the enemy
- Same combo to engage at melee: don’t cancel the 2, let them complete the rush after the javelin volley
