What counters the Savar?

Hard counters beat the Savar decisively and win even at a cost disadvantage — usually through bonus damage, area damage, conversion or a speed advantage it cannot escape. Soft counters win the fight too, but only with good numbers and positioning.

• Halberdier hard Attack bonus vs. cavalry
• Heavy Camel Rider hard Attack bonus vs. cavalry
• Monk hard Conversion – expensive elite unit
• Elite Mameluke UU hard UU (Saracens) – Ranged anti-cavalry
