I don’t really know what is “long-range “ damage in his active skill, but it’s probably not a damage from archers.  |

Probably not that bad but likely not spectacular either. It’s probably useless then… As you can see on the screen I got more dmg on counterattack than my damage…. Maybe My Tzimiskes doesn’t have his unique unit yet, but it has 10lvl weapon + all gems (171 points). It seems that it’s another “average“ general, nothing more. |

Well, Attila usually counterattacks very effectively, but, in general, it is difficult to say something against your conclusion. Another cavalry general, indeed. Probably, Li, who hasn't drawn so much attention as Tzimiskes recently did, is a better cavalry general with a better special unit. What are attributes of the weapon, btw? |

nexttimebro, how is he? In terms of using him as a main charge cav gen. For those who doesn't have Richard. Is he better then Nevskiy or Alfred?

nexttimebro , how is he? In terms of using him as a main charge cav gen. For those who doesn't have Richard. Is he better then Nevskiy or Alfred? I would rate him exactly the same as Alfred, maybe even slightly better. They have very similar stats. Without anything, Alfred has rapid march, Tzimiskes has 10% higher charge rate. With mid set of gems (2-3 lvl) Alfred looks better because +5% of charge may be acquired by useful gems, whereas there are NO good combinations for Tzimiskes. In the end game (4-5lvl gems) Tzimiskes will be slightly better because Rapid March or +5% dmg (Leading Templar knights) may be acquired by gems.   Unfortunately, it’s not clear for me how his new unit skill works (In which moment DMG reduction after charge is activated). For example if there is a triple charge (should be 30% of dmg reduction), will this reduction be applied before counterattack attack or after (and what if it attacks archers, where counterattack dmg has priority). |

Whether his unit skill is activated when this particular unit charges or any unit charges, interesting.

I have a theory about his active: It does not reduce archer damage, but turret damage. If so, then he could potentially be useful in newer HLs and in territory.
The wording reminds me of Alert from the EW6s.

I did some tests and, I believe we have some answers now. "Long-range" doesn't mean damage of towers (fortunately or unfortunately, hard to say, depends on our "love" ot towers 😀)   So, "long-range" means damage of archers. John mitigates about 20-25% I believe     . I hope that , with his special weapon , he will be able to defeat archers whitout taking to much damage . |

A good argument can be made that Tzimiskes was made to curb Timur and Subutai. His active is designed as so, and the skillset is very reminiscent of Su's. He also tries to copy Timur's insane capability points. He seems to try to take hits from the insanely powerful Timur and work with less legions.
ET really seems to be pumping out charge cav generals lately. The only thing between him and Li is that you can upgrade his title and that he as a HL. Just a general with a weapon and a HL. The only reason to buy him is probably because of his weapon making him better than Baibars. His unit is just another hard to get unit. If you want a hard to get unit, get Li Jing's JB or Templars, or just stick with Cataphracts and Noble/Boyars. No reason to shell out your soul(s) to get another low leveled unit.
So why should you buy him? Well, he is T4 and has a weapon and HL. He also has a rather good cavalry skill set (2/4 passives). But one skill only works when you are at a disadvantage (and you are using fragile charge cav, you may enter this range quickly but you will die even faster), one is admin (ew), and one (his active) is untested. It could be meh at 10%, it could be great at 25%. Honestly, it could all depend on his active to swing his rating. Buy hey, who can turn down what could be a Timur-killing Byzantine Nevsky?
3/5. If his HL offers 40 fragments and his unit is T5 Templars (probably not), 4/5. At this point, you should just stick to Nobles, Templars, Boyars, and Cataphracts. If you can make his unit work, 5/5, Byzantine Alfred.
