Historical Description[]

The Guard Chevalier were assigned to protect the leader of the army on the battlefield. In medieval times, this was often the monarch himself. Thus the Guard were the deadliest warriors in the country, armed to the teeth and clad in the best armor the technology of the day was able to produce.

Attacking Strategies[]

  • The Guard Chevalier has a lot of health but is slow and has low attack power, so use it in groups
  • The Guard Chevalier is weak against many defenses grouped together
  • When pushing for trophies, you would need to destroy the Town Center or City Center. In many bases, the town center would be in the center of the base. First, train up an army of Guard Chevalier and a Wall Breacher. When attacking, deploy your Wall Breacher and wait till it destroys the necessary walls. Then, deploy all your Guard Chevalier units in the areas which the City Center is more close to. If there are a few defenses blocking the way, destroy them. Then rally your units to destroy the Town Center or City Center
  • The Guard Chevalier would ignore defensive troops and would pursue their targets which are defensive buildings. However, if a defensive troop attacks it, the Guard Chevalier will attack back until the defensive troop is killed; thus making it distracted. Try to use and deploy Ranged Infantry or Heavy Infantry after deploying the units to eliminate the defensive troops

Defensive Strategies[]

  • The Guard Chevalier is a good alliance troop due to its high health; making it longer to kill them
  • Guard Chevalier units are spawned by Stable or Tank Depot. With their high health, they are good to slow down the enemies advance
  • The Reinforcements technology in the Library spawns Main the units in the forest and they attack troops of the attacker

Trivia[]
