Description

Originally formed as an honour guard by the Warden of Tor Yvresse to protect his tower, the tallest spire in the kingdom's majestic capital, the Spire Guard have since become the city's foremost defenders – the anchor around which the army of Tor Yvresse now forms. Time and time again, the Spire Guard have turned the tide of battle by stubbornly holding the line, pouring arrows into their foes to buy time for their kin to regroup and counter-attack.

Attributes

• Mistwalker Hybrid Infantry
• ▲ Stockpiles: This unit carries an unusually high amount of ammunition.
• ▲ Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
• ▲ Charge Defence Against All: When standing and bracing against a charge this unit will negate the enemy's charge bonus.
• ▲ Unbreakable: This unit does not suffer any form of leadership loss and will never rout.
