Cavalry Troops

Mounted troops built for speed and the charge, deadly to archers, casters and stragglers. There are 18 of them, fielded by nine of the ten kingdoms.

What they beat, and what beats them

Every cavalry troop deals extra damage to Levy (×1.35), Ranged (×1.35) and Support (×1.3) troops.

Levy (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to cavalry troops.

The multipliers apply to every blow between the two classes, on top of a troop's own powers — a cavalry troop with a brace or an anti-air bonus still has that too. The whole web is on the classes page.
