Cavalry

Description

The Cavalry is a large guardian enemy that appears in Badlands II. The Cavalry spawns before the Gunslinger, on the left and right paths of the Badlands II map. It has very high health and a below average speed. It has one ability, where it shoots a tower, stunning it for a few seconds.

The Cavalry replaces the Fallen Guardian in Badlands II. Despite the All Paths modifier being active on Badlands II, only six Cavalries spawn instead of twelve, with there being three for both the left and right side, rather than there being four for each path.

Appearance

The Cavalry has green skin. It appears to resemble a cowboy with a light beige cowboy hat, dark blue buttoned shirt and sleeves, light blue pants, golden belt, brown boots and a crimson shawl around its neck. It has golden markings on it shoulder and its skull exposed.

The Cavalry wields a vintage lever action rifle to shoot towers.

Strategy

• As six of theses spawn, multiple high DPS towers, such as the Accelerator, Engineer, Golden Minigunner or Turret are recommended.
  • The Commander can be useful at boosting the firerate of these towers.
• Slowing towers, like the Sledger and Electroshocker can be useful at slowing these down.
• Because of their ability to stun towers, the Medic can be used to cleanse stunned towers.
