Silahdars are a golden era special melee infantry unit.

In-Game Description

These halberdiers take their name from the office of the sultan's first servant, a role which eventually expanded to include guarding the royal personage himself. As the Sultan's armies have expanded, so too has the numerical strength of the Silahdars to the point where they now form the main heavy infantry corps. Silahdars swear an oath to preserve the life of their commander and will accompany them into the fiercest fight without a moment's hesitation.

Acquisition

Silahdars can be unlocked via the Season IV: Blood of the Empire seasonal challenges. As the season's golden era unit, Silahdars require at least one of the Azaps or the Sipahis to be unlocked (i.e. 3rd stage of either unit's seasonal challenges completed) before progress can be made on their seasonal challenges.

Unit Traits

▲ [Imperial Fervour]	This unit takes 20% less damage while one of its orders is active.
▲ [Insulated]	This unit is difficult to set on fire, and takes less damage from fire when ablaze.
