ROK Cavalry Troop Guide

Cavalry Basics

Cavalry troops are one of the three main troop types in Rise of Kingdoms, alongside infantry and archers. They are known for their speed and mobility, making them ideal for flanking and attacking enemy units. Here's what you need to know about cavalry troops:

Cavalry Strengths:

Fast and high-damage unit, versatile, and excellent for PVP and PVE.

Excellent for destroying or conquering cities and garrisons, cavalry commanders are the most powerful in the game for conquering.

They have a great balance of general statistics that make it the most complete unit in the game, attack, health, and defense will be present in any unit of this type and commanders.

Cavalry Weaknesses:

The cavalry and their commanders are ineffective in defending garrisons.

Vulnerable to infantry in open-field.

Infantry Basics

Infantry troops are one of the three main troop types in Rise of Kingdoms, alongside cavalry and archers. They are the backbone of any army and excel at holding the front line against enemy attacks. Here are their strengths and weaknesses:

Infantry Strengths:

Strong and resistant, excellent for any type of PVP combat.

Many Infantry commanders have healing factors (ideal for long battles) and are great at defending garrisons or cities.

Defends Forts against units and cavalry commanders.

In events like "Sunset Canyon" and "Golden Kingdom", they are a great option. Thanks to their resistance and hold-position combat.

Infantry Weaknesses:

It's slow, in open-field running away or chasing is not the best strategy.

It's not a great option for PVE events since infantry commanders don't have "Peacekeeping" and are slowed down due to lack of damage to neutral units although they can resist much longer than the other units.
