Information is wrong. Best units are Eagle Runner Knights and Arrow Knights. Eagle Runner Knights are gonna make up the bulk of your army while the Arrow Knights will be able to kite just about anything in the game due to their massive range and good attack once you're in imperial age. Eagle Runner Knights have high attack, high attack speed, decent health and with upgrades huge range. Allowing you to kite other ranged infantry. Only real threat is to them is the Japanese Yumi Archer. But Aztec can use Arrow Knights and Coyote Runners to counter them.

Jaguar Prowl Knights are more niche as they get hard countered by Skirmishers and are better used against teams that spam heavy melee units. Thing is, you could just be using Eagle Runner Knights to accomplish the same thing and not have to worry about geting kited.

Skull Knights seem op on paper but in practice aren't amazing. Due to their slow speed they can easily get kited by any ranged unit. However they will definitely beat out any melee unit or cav in the game. Biggest problem with them is that massing them consistently is very difficult and time consuming. You can use them if you want but against a good player you might not accomplish a lot with them. Use them to beat out the same stuff that Jaguar prowl knights beat.
