Unit Counter
In Age of Empires Mobile, a counter system plays a key role in combat strategy. For instance, Archers counter Swordsmen—but what does that mean? It means that Archers deal increased damage to Swordsmen, while Swordsmen inflict reduced damage in return. This results in Archers not only hitting harder but also taking less damage when battling Swordsmen.
The difference in damage output can be significant, making it crucial to consider counters in both PvP and PvE scenarios. Understanding this system allows you to deploy the right units for the situation, giving you a decisive advantage. Additionally, be sure to review the Heroes List to identify the best troop types to pair with each hero for maximum effectiveness.
