Novice

Magic users, Novices are the first range unit of every player.

They used to deal 1 more damage to armored, so they were technically Light anti-armored on the computer version. They are now Light Balanced on the mobile version

Computer
Novices are fragile units. Protecting them with some melee units in front of them could be a good strategy. Otherwise, later, a huge swarm of Novices can clear some though units. Still, watch out for Ninja and Cavalries, as their quick speed allows them to reach your Novices pretty fast. Then, their fast attacks will do the job...

Novices are still a threat on the mobile version, but they sure are weaker. They lost HPs, but most importantly, they lost range. Many new players will then switch to other range units, which are more effective
