Unit Guide: Outriders

Armed with throwing spears and a score to settle, the Outriders are the first Seasonal Unit available in Season IX: Tyranny. Available to unlock now via Unit Challenges, the Outriders speed into battle on horseback and throw incendiary javelins at their foes, then shift to melee attacks when the conflict gets too close for comfort.

 [h2]Unlocking[/h2]
The Outriders are unlocked via Seasonal Unit Challenges, and they enjoy a Seasonal Bonus in the form of Leadership requirements decreased by 10 and resupply costs reduced by 50% during Season IX.
[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
With the Borderlands’ agricultural industries depleted, the Outriders must fight back for the sake of their precious mounts, and their land.

When fighting in the resource-poor wastelands, Outriders can plunder their enemies for their ammunition, then soak those stolen spears in naptha, causing explosive damage to whomever they hit.



[h2]Just the facts: Outriders (3-Star)[/h2]
Formations
  • Dispersed: The Outriders spread to lessen damage from ranged attacks.
  • Crane: A two-winged formation, good for attacking enemies to the front.
Unit Traits
  • Scavengers: In an environment scarce in resources, Outriders can plunder the enemy's supplies in battle to replenish their own ammunition.
  • Reckless: Outriders are not afraid of taking the battle to the enemy and will use melee attacks when close. Every 5 seconds, they unleash explosive attacks (while also becoming energised for 3 seconds), greatly increasing their speed.
  • Borderlanders: Leadership costs are reduced by 10 during Season IX: Tyranny.
  • Unreliable Weapons: Where there’s a pro, there's a con. The incendiary javelins Outriders use do not always work correctly, and have a chance of not exploding on impact.
Unit Orders
  • Ride Like the Wind: Upon hearing their commander’s order, Outriders charge to the current target and throw a round of explosive javelins at the enemy, then plunder their ammo.
  • Burning Plains: Outriders can be ordered to ignite an explosive javelin and hurl it at an enemy, soaking them in naptha. After a few seconds, an explosion will inflict damage and reduce the opponents Block.

The Outriders are available to unlock via Unit Challenges now!

The above information is correct as of the time of publication. Please check in-game for the most up-to-date Unit information.

Five Tips for Surviving Desert Warfare


The arid wastelands of Season IX: Tyranny call for a new kind of warfare - desert.

Historically, desert warfare has given warring factions unique challenges to overcome, and surmounting those difficulties is literally the difference between life and death.

The elements can be more hazardous than the enemy, even when that foe is the diabolical Tyrant. Here are five tips on how to survive desert warfare.
  • Stay Hydrated

Barren regions with no water sources make combat especially tough for soldiers with animal companions (whether that be horses or dogs). In Season IX: Tyranny, the cavalry Unit of the Outriders must keep their equine pals alive to survive themselves, even in the depleted pastures, hence the lack of readily available water sources in the desert makes their plight that much harder.
  • Stay Cool

The high temperatures of the desert increase the likelihood of dehydration by a considerable measure, so make sure to stay covered and cool with suitable clothing, and find shade where you can.
  • Ride ‘em Cowboy

Militaries of the real world use horses to traverse large desert expanses to lower exhaustion rates of the soldiers, as should you. A Warlord on horseback can travel far greater distances (and faster) than one on foot, and cavalry Units can take the fight to their opponent quicker too.

  • Camouflage is Key

Any good soldier knows that camouflage is important in battle, and will give you the element of surprise (or allow you to hide). Choose Attires that compliment your surroundings, and you can slip into the sandy dunes unseen.
  • Be Prepared

Wars waged in deserts often prove difficult for visibility reasons, the lack of identifiable landmarks across endless sand make navigating them trying, and finding cover is next to impossible. Traversing sand can reduce mobility in a big way. With a lack of stable footing, the chance of slipping and even being buried by the dunes is a concern. Prepare for your journeys in Conqueror’s Blade through the Open World by outlining a course through the wastelands beforehand.
