The whole trample/stampede thing was buffed at some point, but not enough to be used on a regular basis.
It’s so niche you only really use it in 1 out of 10 games.
- Taking out 1hp militia
- Dispatching strelet/chu ko nu FAST at the cost of the cavalry (Maybe could save a composition)
- Desperate attempt to make HIGH damage when you are most certainly going to lose cavalry (Surrounded by pikemen, set to trample, let them do aoe to as many as you can before they kill all cavalry)
Seems to be the case.
When you use either on a unit that already has aoe, it just increases it further (it still slows down all else), but watch out, some units don’t get the extra stat.
That’s why it’s not as used, it’s not worth the aoe to reduce overkill when your unit’s health drops to nothing too.
