I have found running them into camps is the best way, especially desert area. the palisades do give bleed. And can get a horse stuck pretty wuick in between them and the tents. Fun times watching the panic 🙂 Also, if you are in a group. spread out and try to circle. Most start to try and chase and group up during the pursuit, which makes it bowling with horses. Well timed dodge works as well. So bait and let the others attack as it comes thru. You know, use strategy??? ---

Explosive orbs and arrows. Or lay down oil orbs and ignite them. The use smoke arrows to obscure the view of the rider. Seriously cant tell you how many people dont use smoke arrows. Those things can really distract and confuse the riders. It works. Give it a go. No one does it. So maybe they wont expect it coming from you. ---

Once the horse is out of stamina all it take is a fart to knock the rider off the horse. But also this works - Bring a spear with you to make the rider back off from charging - Maybe carry a few palisades with you to place in front of you. - Don’t run around on open ground for too long. And if you have to flee, climb away rather than run. - Bring your own horse. ---

> [@LZB\_Gattsu](#): > > Don’t run around on open ground for too long. And if you have to flee, climb away rather than run I have used the cliff jump and grab, then watch the horse jump over me and land below. Then i just stay on wall, climb to a resting spot and decide whether to attack or get away. I will only attack if where the horse landed is in an area that is not wide open. Then i have the terrain advantage. Expecting to win when standing in the wide ope against a horse is ones own fault. ---
