Which troop type beats which in Game of Thrones: Dragonfire?

The troop counter triangle gives +7% when you hold the advantage (and −7% to the enemy):

```

Cavalry → beats → Shields → beat → Archers → beat → Spearmen → beat → Cavalry

```

Word for word in game: Cavalry +7% vs Shields and Siege · Spearmen +7% vs Cavalry and Siege · Shields +7% vs Archers and Siege · Archers +7% vs Spearmen and Siege. Siege is weak against everything and isn't used in dragon combat.

The bonus is small on its own, but it applies to every hit and both sides carry it, so the gap between holding it and suffering it is 14 points. Pick your type to counter the enemy's, then check that your 3 dragons are green for it. Two levers at once: matchup plus affinity.
