Aserai Mameluke Regular: Cavalry

Master the Aserai Mameluke Regular cavalry in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord! Learn their stats, strengths, and how to best utilize them on the battlefield with our expert guide.

Alright, let's talk about the Aserai Mameluke Regulars. These guys are a solid choice if you're looking to build a strong cavalry force for your army in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. They're not the absolute top-tier, but they offer a great balance of effectiveness and accessibility, especially if you're playing as or allied with the Aserai.

Here's a quick look at their skill values, which give you a good idea of what they excel at:

As you can see, their Riding and Throwing skills are their standout stats, sitting at a respectable 70. This means they're going to be pretty effective when charging into enemies with thrown weapons or when maneuvering on horseback. Their One Handed skill is also decent at 70, which is great for when they get into close combat after a charge. The lower stats in Two Handed, Polearm, Bow, Crossbow, and Athletics mean they're not as versatile in those areas, so you'll want to play to their strengths.

So, what does this mean for you on the battlefield?

Think of the Mameluke Regulars as shock cavalry with a bit of a twist. Their high Riding skill means they'll be fast and hard-hitting when they charge. The high Throwing skill is interesting – it means they can soften up targets before closing in, or even be effective at range if you equip them with good throwing weapons. However, don't expect them to be your primary archers or spearmen. Their real power comes from that initial impact and their ability to follow up with decent one-handed combat.

They might not have the sheer brute force of some other heavy cavalry, but their speed and the added utility of their throwing skill make the Aserai Mameluke Regulars a valuable asset to any army looking for mobile, hard-hitting troops.
