Tips[]
- Although they are often enlisted in dedicated cavalry cities, it is wise to send Arbalists to reinforce a city being attacked by cavalry, as Arbalists have high defense against cavalry units.
- Although the game states that they are a defensive unit, they can be used for raiding Caverns and attacking other players.
- As with most cavalry, they are fairly expensive to enlist.
