Witch = event boss, good resources + refining stones + research stones + runestones + speed-ups. Mounted. Zero-wound cavalry: L1 13M = t11 270k; L2 24.6M = t12 500k; L3 85.6M = t12 900k @+1026%; L4 154.8M = t13 1.9M; L5 225.2M = t14 1.664M -> ~12k wounded (needs more for 0). Doctrine (all normal/most event bosses): fight with only the single highest tier of MOUNTED cavalry, one wave, to one-round-kill for zero wounds; buff mounted attack first, count second. Skill books: Mounted Attack Against-Monster Lv4, Mounted Attack Lv4, March Size Lv4. Add an AGAINST-MONSTER debuff (not a normal debuff), e.g. Dragon Equipment Set (4); monster Def debuff caps at -50% (5x set). In a rally only ONE joiner needs the against-monster debuff -- it does not stack across joiners. Monarch Talent Lv6 'Mortality' halves wounds. Rally-join = 1 general + 1 mounted troop (loot-agnostic).
