Guide to Mastering Hit And Run in Age of Empires
In Age of Empires, skilled players often utilize the Hit and Run tactic with units like the C Bow and C Horse due to their superior speed and agility compared to other units. Units such as War Elephants, Stone Throwers, C Bow, and C Spear are also used but less frequently. The term Hit And Run became prominent in AOE when renowned commentators in the empire scene began mentioning it during high-level matches featuring the prodigy Sun Tzu when interacting with top Chinese gamers. Since then, it has been consistently referenced by players during matches. In the Empire's gameplay, Hit And Run stands as an advanced skill for players, as not everyone can effectively employ this fighting style.
How to execute Hit and Run in AOE
- You have a group of C Bows (range 20) and remember the group number. During combat, select this group of C Bows, simultaneously move and target a single enemy unit or villager of the opponent. The sequence involves moving, shooting, and moving again, which is repeated multiple times.
- Typically, players may use a single C Bow for HIT and Run, but the damage output is minimal since the attack value of one C Bow is only +4, whereas a villager has a health pool ranging from 35 to 20 HP, while a C Bow has 70 HP. In this scenario, it merely serves to distract the opponent's army and villagers from their tasks.
