Skills & Formations
Thunder ChargeThunder ChargeSignificantly increases the speed of Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, allowing them to charge in the specified direction. While charging, they will inflict a small amount of damage to enemies in their way. Any follow-up commands issued by the player will not interrupt this state.
Disciplined AssaultDisciplined AssaultGrants a 2-second immunity to control effects to Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, who unleash a series of attacks as they make contact with the enemy, dealing lots of damage. Using Disciplined Assault while in the Thunder Charge state will inflict extra damage. Any follow-up commands issued by the player will not interrupt this state.
DispersedDispersedA loose formation that reduces unit vulnerability to ranged weapons.
WedgeWedgeA narrow formation effective for charging or breaking through enemy units.Playstyle
- Charge speed with 1 before impact (as long as you can)
- Press 2 before impact to change them to DMG stance. X-move won’t cancel the ability, so you can use it to flank / dodge / do big outplays into enemy lines
- Killing units reduces the CD of both abilities, so be ready to keep playing them after a charge
- The unit has CCi and big outplay potential with X-move during abilities. Use it at its best potential
Don’t over-try to use the 1 into 2 chain. Sometimes 1 for reposition and just X-move + press 2 will be enough to wipe and get back your spells.
