Narmer

How to Use Narmer

Veteran players value Narmer for the consistency of its bonus rather than its raw size. cavalry units move 5% faster, a steady, always-on modifier that doesn't depend on situational triggers.

Map type strongly influences value, open maps with frequent skirmishes reward different advisor archetypes than closed boom-heavy maps.

Treat Narmer as a build-defining choice rather than a flex pick, that's where the advisor delivers its full value.
