This Katapeltes has become a hero. Like other Katapeltes, he is very effective against cavalry and weak against all other units; but as a hero, he is more effective against myth units. All heroes may pick up Relics.

While the mace doesn't at first appear to be a weapon suited to fighting cavalry, used with precision, the powerful strikes can smash through armor to crush the legs of horses and the knees of riders. Only the heaviest armor could turn aside the attacks of the Katapeltes - the shield smasher.
