If Makeinda Ru is the deck’s primary ranged weapon, then Miti Kyru (affectionately called "Miticat") is its melee muscle. With its impressive stats, good survivability and tools to help Lionesses, Miti Kyru kind of does it all. If you are getting into a melee heavy confrontation, Miti Kyru is nice because he doesn’t need the build up of other Savanna Elves units, he just comes in and starts providing great value right away.
You shouldn’t overdo it with trying to trigger Inspire, but it can provide value when fighting in formations.
Withdraw gives it survivability and it can provide a brutal attack on a single flank when combined with a ranged unit. You can attack, Withdraw and then let Abua or your Border Archers finish the job. Withdraw is also a very useful ability that can both increase Miti Kyru’s damage output while aiding his survivability.
