CALL THE COUNTERS

Sharpen the counter instincts that win your fights. Drag each challenger by the bonus damage it lands on the unit.
Hard counter hits big, soft counter chips in, avoid gets bonus-damaged back.
The challengers
Sort them
Verdicts use the AoE2 bonus-damage relationship: a challenger counters the featured unit when it deals bonus damage against one of its armour classes (Halberdier vs cavalry, Skirmisher vs archers); avoid means the featured unit bonus-damages the challenger back. Tier reflects how much bonus damage lands. Generic stat advantages, kiting and terrain aren't modelled.
