Roland is officially filed under the Siege battle position, yet 5 of his 8 skills are named directly after Cavalry.

The Siege Tag

I pulled Roland's hero card straight from the game data. His battle position comes back as Siege, plain and simple. That's the tag the game itself assigns him for squad planning purposes. Nothing fancy here, just confirming the label before getting into why it might trip people up.

Cavalry Runs Deep

Here's where it gets interesting. Four of Roland's eight skill slots carry names that leave zero room for guessing: Cavalry Defensive Formation II, Cavalry Offensive Formation II, Cavalry Awakened, and Discipline - Cavalry. These aren't flavor text, they're the actual skill names players see while leveling him up. That's half his kit pointed straight at horseback troops, not siege engines.

Song Confirms It

Then there's his level 50 ultimate, Song of Roland. Its own in-game description states it gives your Cavalry squads a better chance to cast active skills and boosts their skill damage for a few rounds. So his highest-tier skill calls out Cavalry by name too. 🎺 That brings the count to 5 Cavalry-named skills out of 8.

Squad Planning Impact

Put it together and you've got a hero labeled Siege on the roster screen carrying five Cavalry-named skills out of eight. If you built Roland assuming his passives lean toward siege units because of the tag, it's worth a second look at what's actually written on each skill.

If you're running Roland right now, is your active squad actually built around Cavalry, or still leaning Siege because of the label? 🤔
