How to Play Lithuanians
Ideal opening (Dark → Castle): Open with Scouts or a Spearman-Skirmisher build — or go forward to apply early pressure — while making relic collection your top priority, since each garrisoned relic powers up your Cavalry and Monks. Hold on one Town Center to stay aggressive, then transition into a second TC and expand once you have a foothold and the relics in hand.
Ideal late-game composition: Anchor your army on Leitis, your gold-line cavalry that grow stronger with every relic you control, supported by cheap Lithuanian Skirmishers as your trash line and Bombard Cannons or Trebuchets to crack buildings and siege. The relic-fueled attack bonus makes the Leitis core hit far above its weight.
Deathball composition (closed maps / team games): Push forward behind a mass of Leitis, layer in Hand Cannoneers for ranged firepower against infantry, and use Bombard Cannons to demolish defensive structures and enemy siege as you grind through walls.
Recommended build: Spearman + Skirmisher
