Counters
- Loses to: High dmg units
- Struggles vs: Cav
- This unit counters: Pikes
Playstyle
- Don’t charge in unless you have a lot of front-lane with you, as it will stack them
- Once in fight, just let them on V, which will unlock their counter-attack stance
- After pressing heal (Press 2), cancel the animation with a V
- Unique Bleed-Skill on Units that damaged you recently: focus on taking aggro and activating the skill. Remember you can disengage and play around your healing
- Good tanking with Ironside doctrine into disengage into heal and repeat potential
- Paladins are the best Unit to X+V cancel of the game: V, as soon as dmg pop-up X-move and instantly V, repeat. Cancels majority of attack animation to increase DPS
Only do the X+V cancel when Free DPS, as doing this will stop them from blocking attacks and using counter-attack.
