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. | |||

"The horse-mounted cavalier and champion deal extra impact damage (+5% per hex traveled to creature attacked) when charging into battle." RoE manual

Tactics and info
(This section contains a general opinion over the subject!)
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 Queens and 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.
