"Aztec elite berserker." ― In-game description
Overview[]
The Skull Knight is the ultimate unit of the Aztec empire which brings death with a large two-handed wooden sword covered in sharp stones. The unit is effective against groups of cavalry that might try to fight it because of the area damage and the bonus. It is good against buildings since it can resists many shot from them and inflict big siege damage. However, the Knight is rather slow compared to the rest of Aztec's infantry and moving more like a Halberdier, so it loses to artillery. Provide cover with Arrow Knights or Eagle Runners to protect their advance.
With the Home Citycombat cards for the knights they become more powerful and can sweep through most units and can handle forts without much fear. Also if sending the Great Temple of Huiztilopochtli Support card they will get +1 area of effect.
The unit is trained for free at the Fire Pit, where villagers dance to summon 1 Skull Knight after several seconds. This can take a while because at best the train time is 10 seconds and that makes it difficult for the Skull Knight to be used. Focusing on Warrior Priests is crucial for the task.
