Knights or guards for attack

[Yoshiooo]

Which are best for attack

[Sponge]

Knights are best for attacking but Guards have much higher defence.

[Minotaur411]

Important to note that guards are just barely weaker than knights in attack, and have much more defence.

[LordFirefall]

It's also important to note that knights take up 3 pop, while guards take up 4. Additionally, guards have a slower training time, so they take longer to replace.

[Fire820]

It really depends. If you're trying to kill sentries, use guards. For lancers, use zerks. Everything else, take your pick or do a mix. I personally use mainly zerks. Rarely use much of anything else. But I will from time to time

[Fire820]

Knights or guards. Either one for sentries

[Brad87]

If you are solely looking for an answer attack and attack only then knights are better than guards but if u only have knights in ur city and u go to sleep or work or what ever keeps you from the game and someone attacks knights will do you no good. Guards a little bit behind knights in attack but have much more defense. In other words two in one

[Biwin]

I'm confused - everyone says knights are better than guards at attacking, but I'm looking at the unit overview right now in the
game's help section, and it clearly states that Knights attack = 110 and Guardian attack = 115; am I missing something?

[LordFirefall]

Yep - knights take 3 population, guards 4. So, you get less of them. Also, they have a slower training time.

[pizzaking]

Knights = 3 pop (1 unit) which = 110 attack
Guards = 4 pop (1 unit) which = 115 attack
So you have to get to a common number to truely see the caparison.

Knights = 12 pop (4 units) which = 440 attack
Guards = 12 pop (3 units) which = 345

So now it comes down to one question...do you want to attack with 440 or 345?
