Talk:Slinger (Age of Empires II)/@comment-27977344-20160401103707/@comment-26842175-20161003105942

@masterBroccoli. to be precise: the site says slingers have 16 attack vs. spearman. That doesn´t really matter though.

Not only they are a good counter to infantry, they do the same damage as crossbowmen. In the Imperial age(AK), Couriers gives them extra pierce armor making them defeat FU arbalest one-on-one. So it can even be effective against non-infantry units.
