⚔️ Troop advantage
Which troop type beats which in Game of Thrones: Dragonfire?
The counter wheel is confirmed word for word by the game's own screens:
Cavalry → beats → Shields → beat → Archers → beat → Spearmen → beat → Cavalry
Full table:
| Your type | Beats (+7%) | Loses to (−7%) |
|---|---|---|
| Cavalry | Shields | Spearmen |
| Shields | Archers | Cavalry |
| Archers | Spearmen | Shields |
| Spearmen | Cavalry | Archers |
| Siege | — (weak everywhere) | everything |
A way to remember it: cavalry charges through shields, shields block arrows, archers shred spearmen from range, spearmen skewer horses. It follows.
Siege is the special case: weak against every troop type, but it deals extra damage to durability (the HP of tiles and structures). You bring it to break walls, not to win a pitched battle.
