One of the fastest units, the Cavalry upgrade can move around almost at will on the battlefield.OffBck
The champion is the upgraded fifth tier unit of the Knight faction in Heroes of Might and Magic II, recruited from upgraded jousting arenas.
They are tied for the fastest unit in the game with the phoenix, and their hit points have improved from their base version, the cavalry, but the rest of their stats remain the same. Therefore, they should still take care about where they attack to avoid enemies concentrating their attacks on them. However if you are dealing with a hero who has many ranged units, sometimes it may be good to cast haste on the champions, a 1st level spell costing only 3 spell points making it perfect for knight heroes, to make them go charging into the enemy and disable or wipe out their ranged units, unless it's Titans, that would truly be suicide.
