Due to their decent ranged weaponry and mobility, it is best to keep these units among hills and trees to counter the strengths of cavalry and heavy infantry, the enemies of light infantry. Skirmishers' weaponry is effective against all types of light armored units, so they should not be regarded as useless. They also upgrade to become one of the best archers in the game, so try to keep these units safe from cavalry on open ground.
The weakness that these units share with most Vaegir troops is their lack of shielding. However, with the high amount of Vaegir villages and their ranged weaponry, Vaegir Skirmishers can pose a threat to Khergithorses, unshielded infantry like Sarranid Guards, or even other Vaegir units.
