Ascended Arrow Military Formation in Potestatem | World Anvil

Ascended Arrow

Burgeonend military units fight with great reliance upon their god-generals strength. Much to the disappointment of millennium of enemy, this reliance is founded.   Forming usually with Burgeonend units at they head of one or more arrow head shapes. Great magics and physical strength will break enemy lines as the Hazfeni units collide in a second impact.   Leading through shining example, the Burgeonend will carve through the lines and attack enemy leadership and fortifications. Frontline enemies will suddenly find themselves without reserves, sandwiched between hundreds of gleaming soldier and a demi-god, and without hope.  

Armor Variations

Composition

Manpower

Ascended arrow units are the personal military units of Burgeonend warriors of the Hazfen Empire. They utilize powerful magic and high mobility to pierce, harrass, and complete important objectives with a emphasis on swift mobility.

Equipment

Magical equipment is extremely common. Enchanted boots and light armor are the forte of any successful arrow.

Weaponry

Shortswords, short bows, spell foci, and other small weapons are employed by the unit to allow for close combat to be excelled at while continuing quick movement. Heavy weapons such as great axes and warhammers are utilized by the nicknamed ashen arrow formations that prioritize smashing enemy ranks.

Vehicles

The Magnified who utilize Ascended Arrow units will have cavalry for their units to ride upon. Arcab units are the most successful mounted units.

Structure

A Burgeonend will lead the formation either at the tip of the arrow shape or from the center depending on if they excel on physical or magical abilities. Those who lead from the front are often considered to be more worth of having the unit so this rule is often broken.

Tactics

Utilizing the Burgeonend's increased capacity for magic the unit will open with a barrage of spell work from mid-tier casters to draw out a few counter spells or and spell resistant material in the enemy. If non is present or this is successful the Burgeond will annihilate the closest enemy defenses. Highly magically resistant foes or those with access to great quantities of counterspell will be hit with darkness, silence, and blinding spells to force a counterspell, or cause the spell to be uncastable. This is immeidtalty followed by a usually 7th-9th level spells from the Burgeonend themself.    Ascended Arrow units usually have extremely specific goals so they will utilize any created openings to speed like The Temple towards it. Assassination of command structure, destruction of supplies, retrieval of hostages or important artifacts are a few common goals.
