Build
The horseman brawl. The mount is the multiplier: 10s of AoE move-attacks with triple energy income - Oath strikes every couple of hits, each healing 100-plus off the bonus-HP share - and this build stretches the ride. Brute Force Breastplate (800 HP, 20 PDef, 10% CDR): his constant mounted damage keeps the per-second +8 adaptive and +2% MS rolling to 6 stacks (+48 attack, +12% MS) with 25% control-duration cut at full - the charger accelerates inside the fight. Queen's Wings (750 HP, 10% CDR, 10% spell vamp): below 40% HP he gains 30% damage reduction for 3s plus 2s off every skill CD (60s CD), missing HP converting to damage to 15% - the brawl pays double at half HP. War Axe 10 + BFB 10 + Wings 10 + Endless 10 = 40% CDR: Momentum every 3.6s, Stomp near-loop. Quantum Charge: his mounted basics restore 75-180 HP plus 30% MS on heroes - the ride sustains itself. Firmness (+8/+8) steadies the early clear. 6th slot Sea Halberd (80 PA, 20 AS): Lifebane cuts every touched target to 60% sustain for 3s on the mounted charge - the knight wins the sustain brawl.

Counter Builds
Vs Leomord: his Oath Keeper banks 25 energy per damage instance (triple mounted) - disengage as the glow peaks, re-engage after the empowered basic lands. Phantom Steed (30s) is the mount: space the Stomp leap and punish the 10s window's end - he is a setup fighter dismounted. Momentum is an interruptible channel: save one interrupt for the lean-in, and Searing-style knockbacks break it free. He is 55/78/70 - the mid horseman; Valir-type burn-control is his wall, immobile shield drafts (Lolita-style) are his food - the mount runs through stationary lines.
