Khuzait Khan's Guard

For the multiplayer version, see Khan's Guard (Multiplayer).

Khuzait Khan's Guards are tier-six noble horse archers of the Khuzait.

Tactics[]

Despite their name seemingly designating their role, Khuzait Khan's Guards are one of the best troops in the entire game in terms of versatility and combat effectiveness. They come with a bow, two stacks of arrows, a powerful two-handed polearm, top-tier armor, and an armored warhorse.

While they can fufill the horse archer/skirmisher role well with their bow and arrows, their real combat prowess comes from their glaive. In an equal-numbers fight on even terrain, they can consistently outmatch Vlandian Banner Knights and Imperial Elite Cataphracts even when ordered to hold fire. Furthermore, when dismounted and ordered to hold fire, they can rival Battanian Veteran Falxmen, Sturgian Heroic Line Breakers, and even Imperial Legionaries in melee.

In terms of pure foot archery, on the other hand, the only troops Khuzait Khan's Guards will lose to are Battanian Fian Champions. However, unlike the Battanian noble troops being relegated to archery and as perhaps mediocre shock troops, Khuzait ones can be used in sieges, as skirmishers, shock troops, stationary archers, infantry reinforcements, and/or even to hold off heavy cavalry.
