The Rider is a mounted melee unit unlocked by the Riding technology. The Rider has more movement but lower defence than a Warrior. In addition, the Rider has the escape skill, which allows it to move after attacking. Therefore, the Rider can be used in hit-and-run warfare.
The Oumaji tribe starts the game with a Rider. The Aquarion tribe has the Amphibian in place of the Rider.
