1. Chase still compensates the inferiority of heavy cavalry.
2. Heavy cavalry is much cheaper than legionaries and javelineers, so you can have your Commander 5 stacks and, you can save your honour for Vercingetorix, Belisarius, Mithridates and IAPs if you have them.
Again, both the guy I was talking to and myself are FTP players. You don’t even need the commander if you have hannibal atilla and spartacus. Javelineer commander more than pays off the high cost in the arena by being the mvp every single run by a long margin. And is not countered by anything except woad raiders
Edit: also belisarius sucks in the arena so…
You don't need to have IAPs to run out of honour in arena. Vercingetorix, Mithridates and Hasdrubal cost alot, even if you didn't want to give stacks to Beli. My Commander is a cavalry commander and he is usually MPV. Also, javelineers are countered by more enemies than heavy cavalry. Both are countered by thump (War Elephants and Woad Raiders), woad raiders have +50% damage against archers which is much worse than horse archers' +50% against cavalry since their attack type is ineffective.
Also, how does Belusarius suck in arena?
