Equestrians are trained in Legionary Academies from tributes who display a natural aptitude for horseback combat. They are the most respected and feared among the basic troops of the Legion for their ability to make deadly coordinated charges, felling enemies in single strikes with their lances.
===Tactics===
The equestrian's primary method of attack is to charge in as a unit, dealing double damage with their lance, then attempt to retreat in order to initiate another charge. If dismounted or caught in place, the equestrian will drop their lance to begin fighting with their longsword. Equestrians fight until incapacitated or until ordered to stop by a superior.
