Kipchak

"Cuman unique cavalry archer with rapid-fire attack."

- Age of Empires II description

The Kipchak is the unique unit of the Cumans in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It is a cavalry archer that fires multiple arrows at once, similar to the Chu Ko Nu. Only the first arrow does full damage, though. All the other arrows fired deal 3 pierce damage and 0 melee damage (the latter is very helpful when battling rams). A regular Kipchak fires two arrows per volley, and an Elite Kipchak fires four.

Kipchaks can be upgraded to Elite Kipchaks in the Imperial Age.
