Intro: What Beats What?
In reality, any unit can beat any unit, it’s just how you use all your units in battle. I am not going to test every unit against every unit, but I am going to test the most superior units verses the most superior units. Every unit I test, has at least a bronze sword and shield upgrade, it depends on price, and if people are willing to spend that much.
