Special Ability: Jousting[edit | hide]
Moving before the attack will increase their damage by 5% for each hex between their starting and ending position. This ability is only capped by the size of the battlefield, which allows their starting and ending positions to be a maximum of 18 tiles apart (for a 90% damage increase). Obviously they don't benefit from this ability when counterattacking, and their optimal attack conditions require them to move the longest distance possible.
Pikemen and Halberdiers are immune to this jousting bonus, which means they only suffer the base damage from Cavaliers and Champions. When fighting them, it makes no difference whether your Champions move 9 hexes before attacking or none at all.
