Cusi Yupanqui is an infantry hero in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition representing Pachacuti prior to earning the title of "Earth Shaker". The unit is seen in The Field of Blood, the second Pachacuti scenario.
The unit, though a unique sprite, is very similar to that of an Eagle Warrior, albeit with a faster attack rate and greater line of sight. Like other heroes, the unit is immune to conversion and can regenerate health.
History[]

Son of Huiracocha Inca, he lead the defense against the invasion of the Chanca c.1438 after the former and his chosen successor abandoned the kingdom to their fate. Emerging victorious, he inherited the throne. His rule would mark the transformation of the Kingdom of Cuzco into the Inca Empire.
