5 Tips to Counter Janissary Line

They have a longer base range than standard Hand Cannoneers making them deadly early on.[7]

Skirmishers counter them effectively due to their naturally high pierce armor.[2]

They do not require the Chemistry upgrade to be created allowing for fast Castle Age pushes.

Their base accuracy is relatively low so they work best when firing into large groups.

Protect them with light cavalry to prevent enemy skirmishers and siege from wiping them out.
