How to beat
Zhu Xi's Legacyas Mongols
Matchup tips
Typically when you're up against Zhuge Nu, the main thing that you want to be making is cavalry and cavalry only. So it is going to be the Keshik. But you got to make at least a couple of archers as well. You need enough archers to be able to continuously one-shot the spearman from your opponent. After that, you want to make only Keshik, only cavalry. You go up to like 20 archers, after that just Keshik. And you're able to one-shot the spears, and then the main brunt of the force has got to be the cavalry.
With the Khan's Hunter, they will outrange the Zhuge Nu by a decent margin, able to even kite them quite well, especially using the signal arrow once he has access to it.
Zhuge Nu, because of their fantastic DPS, are able to hold a candle even against high armored units in the feudal age like the Keshiks, especially after steel arrow and with numbers.
In the past, going full Keshik archer was pretty tough for Mongols to deal with Zhuge Nu spearmen, but the presence of the Khan's hunter — extra range can make a massive difference. Especially if you get the Deer Stones up forward.
The blacksmith Dali Horses tech giving 20% attack speed is so significant for lancers especially against Keshik.
The Temple of the Sun, once that goes down, the movement speed on the units will also be gone.
You can kite Zhuge Nu with Mongols specifically, due to the Khan's Hunter, because the attack animation is long enough. However, Zhu Xi's Legacy can upgrade Zhuge Nu to get extra range, negating that.
Killing Imperial Officials is high value because Zhu Xi's Legacy doesn't get a discount on them and they have to make them from the TC. So it's like getting a worker kill but paying a lot more.
The Kurultai's healing and damage boost is like getting veteran upgrades early, but Zhu Xi's Legacy gets veteran so quickly that they don't care about it, and the units are still unarmored with slow heal.
