Castle Battle · Troop class

Support Troops

Healers, banners, pipers and chaplains that make every troop around them better. There are 23 of them, fielded by ten of the ten kingdoms.

What they beat, and what beats them

Cavalry (×1.3), Shock (×1.35) and Beast (×1.4) troops deal extra damage to support troops.

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