Kheshigs are a golden era melee cavalry unit.

In-Game Description

Kheshigs are bodyguards to the Great Khan and his family in peacetime, but on the battlefield they are the elite heavy cavalry force and the dread of their enemies. Their most fearsome tactic is to charge into an enemy unit, then turn and charge once more after their leader: A wise commander can use this to hook around an enemy battle line and strike its open flanks.

Acquisition

Kheshigs can be unlocked via the Season II: Wrath of the Nomads seasonal challenges. As the season's golden era unit, Kheshigs require one of the Tseregs or Khevtuul Cavalry to be unlocked (i.e. 3rd stage of either units' seasonal challenges completed) before progress can be made on their seasonal challenges.

Unit Traits

▲ [Relentless Raid]	After charging, unit can charge again to break through enemy ranks.

Formations

Turn and Charge

Base Cooldown: N/A

The unit immediately turns and charges towards your position. During this time, the unit deals an additional 20% slashing damage.

Sabre Combo
