The Hussar is a melee cavalry unit in Age of Empires III.

OverviewEdit

Hussars are the mainline cavalry for most of the European civilizations and should be the backbone of cavalry units for them. Since they are the base cavalry unit they have no distinguishing characteristics. They are fast and hit relatively hard making them good at raiding or getting in close with artillery. They are also effective against light infantry, who are too fragile too stand up to melee combat. They are weak against heavy infantry and ranged cavalry. They should be put in formations with infantry so the two can counter each other's weaknesses.
