The jousting ability of Cavaliers can increase their damage up to +35% and Champions up to +45% without any speed elevations, meaning their damage can be higher than any level 6's, but [[Naga and Naga Queen|Naga Queens]] and [[Black Knight and Dread Knight|Dread Knights]] very well compensate that with their specialties. The increase can be even higher, if the hero can increase their speed for example with artifacts ([[Cape of Velocity]], [[Necklace of Swiftness]] or [[Ring of the Wayfarer]]) or with spells ([[Haste]] or [[Prayer]]). Additionally, using Tyris who specializes in Cavaliers and Champions or [[Sir Mullich]], whose troops recieve +2 to speed, can increase the damage of Cavaliers and Champions significantly. Because of the jousting ability, a player should always prioritize to attack across as many hexes as possible. | |||
