Trained from the Classical Age, Raiders are the first cavalry units available to the Norse. They are fast and can easily defeat groups of archers and Throwing Axemen; with the Sons of Sleipnir technology, Raiders utterly devastate these units. However, as they are more fragile than other cavalry, they are very weak against infantry and poor against most other units. However, Raiders are light cavalry; they are cheaper than all other cavalry units and only take up two population slots.

Raiders are fast-moving, but lack Line of Sight early in the game, so using them as scouts is not recommended. As their name suggests, their speed makes them good at raiding, though note that they have a long training time. Raiding is an important source of favor for the Norse, and it is preferable to do it without losing too many soldiers. Raiders can kill villagers or archers, and destroy buildings, then beat a retreat. In the Classical Age they are the only Norse unit that can counter archers so are an important part of an early Norse army.

Later on, stronger and more versatile units such as Jarls can replace them as frontline troops, though they are much slower and more expensive than Raiders. Huskarls can also take over the role of elite anti-archer units. Additionally, Raiders are the best Norse units against siege weapons as they have a bonus attack against them.
