Unit Guide: Zykalian Militia



It’s easy to underestimate militia units for being under-equipped or poorly trained. The good thing about explosives, however, is they only have to be thrown in an enemy's general direction! 

With the high ground on their side, the Zykalian Militia can be a highly effective deterrent during siege battles. Their grenades might light them up as a target for enemy archers, but when stationed on the battlements, they're a great counter against sword units ascending the walls beneath them! 
 

Unlocking 

You will be able to command a Zykalian Militia unit temporarily after completing one series of Season V unit challenges. The unit will become permanently yours after finishing a second stage (along with any XP the unit may have earned along the way). Complete Stage 3 to receive a haul of Unit Medals, and Stage 4 to secure a Doctrine that increases the unit’s ammo reserves.

Zykalian Militia: Supply Doctrine


 


Gameplay 

More so than other specialist ranged units, Zykalian Militia should never be deployed as a frontline force. Even Tenent Farmers would make short work of them. The best place for them is high upon a defensive wall, as their short throwing range makes it difficult to protect them in an open battle. They also have limited reserves of ammunition, so it's advisable to position them close to a resupply point. 


 

Progression 

Zykalian Militia have a maximum unit level of 16, with Veterancy Points investable across two branches. The top branch generally works to increase the effectiveness of the unit’s fire attack and reduce the cooldown timer, while the lower branch improves supply levels, movement, and range. The latter may be useful if you envisage deploying the unit in open battles more often than for siege engagements.

Embark on an odyssey set 100 years in the past, and discover long-forgotten secrets that sparked the rise of an empire. Your seasonal campaign follows in the footsteps of the Kingdom of Empyros and their army, the Symmachean Brotherhood, across the rich and arable Anadolou region. Explore this new land to unlock 200+ rewards, including season-exclusive attire and lots more, from the Season V Battle Pass! When the campaign advances to its bloody and inevitable conclusion later this year, the throne of the coveted fortress city of Reginopolis awaits worthy conquerors.



It’s a tough road ahead, so you’re going to need more firepower... literally! Unlock new seasonal units over the course of Season V, both armed with newly-developed weapons seething with hellfire. The Zykalian Militia is an effective defensive force armed with throwable, incendiary earthenware grenades. Their explosive nature provides a good deterrent to attackers when raining fire from the battlements during siege battles!



You can also command the Siphonarioi, Empyrean sailors who wield handheld cheirosiphon, or flamethrowers. They’re clad in full armour that helps to protect them from the heat of their own weapons and are widely dreaded by enemies. Since they are sworn to guard the secret of hellfire's composition, they will never be taken alive...



Call in extra reinforcements by promoting fan-favourite units to the ranks of the Symmachean Brotherhood! Symmachean Stalwarts are an elite regiment based on Spear Sergeants, while Symmachean Paladins take the torch from Men-at-Arms. You can promote your basic units to a different veterancy via Seasonal Challenges, in a system we’ll detail closer to launch.



Season V: Legacy of Fire will launch alongside the Season V Battle Pass on October 13, with pre-orders starting soon.
