I'm conscious that the last preview didn't give much of a structured overview of the rosters, so this time I'm going to be mixing it up and giving recruitment tier lists in addition to the screenshots. Although recruitment in XC5 is more complex than these tier lists may suggest, as you will later see, they nevertheless give a general idea.

There's one more unit for Gandhara that hasn't been mentioned here. This is because it doesn't have a place on the tier list - it isn't recruited from the barracks building. And this unit is powerful, one of the most devastating units in XC5! All of Gandhara's enemies will run in terror when they unleash this secret weapon!
