This general is the best archer killer: 1. He is extremely fast (Rapid March + Chase + Climb). 2. He has +25% damage against archers, because archers usually have more troops than other units. Check Templars and Mamluks. 3. He has +15% infantry damage. 4. He has 200+ infantry capability with gems. No man, you are wrong. The best anti-archer melee general is this guy:  Because he kills 3 15lvl Malmuks in 1 hit (funny thing that he can be killed in 1-2 hits by any cavalry general too) In addition, Malmuks are quite useless after 1.7. Any legion with at least 1 Imperial Bow Archers is a death for Malmuks Disagree with your statement about Mamluks. Imperial Bow Cavalry lack Repeated Fire, said skill combines with Mobilize (on Mongolian Raiders/Woad Raiders) to let an archer general attack more than 2 times in a turn. |

Imperial Bow Cavalry lack Repeated Fire, said skill combines with Mobilize (on Mongolian Raiders/Woad Raiders) to let an archer general attack more than 2 times in a turn. Imperial Bow Cavalry doesn't replace Mamlukes, it is an overpowering addition to Mamlukes since their anti-dodge ability has a legion effect. So, two Mamelukes and one Imperial Bow Cavalry are better than 3 Mamlukes. We don't see many mixed legions at the moment because players don't have Imperial Bow Cavalry of the required level. Eventually, I think, a legion - Mamlukes, Mongolian riders and Imperial Bow Cavalry - will be even better because of different legion effects. But another question is whether everyone will be able to farm fragments of those 3 units or not. I remain skeptical about it. To me Imperial Bow Cavalry has a definite advantage because of their availability for f2p players. For example, I already have Imperial Bow Cavalry lvl 5 and I haven't unlocked Mamlukes yet. I accept this fact and understand that the difference will be even greater eventually. With all my efforts I can't upgrade all 3 units at once up to level 15 (let alone higher). To me it is better to have one unit of mounted archers of level 15 than 3 units of level 8. |

Yeah, obviously the strongest archer combo right now.
But for conquests I still use chase + climb combo. You don't need firepower in conquests at least right now. Let's see what's gonna happen with challenge conquests as ET will eventually introduce it anyway.

I hope that "different" doesn't mean "worse" |

EW7 bankrupted even him 😃 😆 Today is discount day, I want to make new unit gallery by buying 6k scrolls (Thank ET, they made all my previous work wasted). But I'm a bit busy (and lazy also), so may be next time  . Just make ultimate Archer team for fun, a long way to go in actual game (I even haven't unlocked Mongolian rider yet). |

Completing Timur HL gives you lvl 3 IBC (40 fragments) and you need only 14 more to get lvl 5. Raid and soul convert (it's worth) can give you enough. |

Fortunately, we are richly rewarded for completing Timur’s campaign indeed. And it was a fun to play, because there were different types of missions. At the moment I am rather weak in ranged cavalry department, so I relocate all my efforts and resources there. |

Any legion with at least 1 Imperial Bow Archers is a death for Malmuks I have this general, and all other generals as well. He can kill one archer in perfect conditions (charge + attack), that's true, but then next turn he is dead. Dingfang can kill several archers quite easily, without losing HP at all. In most cases Beowulf can't even move + attack in 1 turn. Imperial Bow Archers are useless, because you don't attack archers with archers. As you said you need Varangians to do this job. |
