While not quite as good as the Clibinarii Immortals available to the Sassanids, very few units can hope to stand up to the knights and live to tell the tale. Graal Knights have fantastic stats in almost all areas. Imperial German Bodyguard from the Western Roman Empire is the only western unit that can hope to stand up against Graal Knights and even then they have slightly inferior stats and less men in a cohort. As it is, the Romano-British are quite literally across the known world from these two factions so Graal Knights are highly unlikely to come up against them.

Graal Knights are very tough units, with the only comparable units being those from the eastern world where horsemen are more valued, such as the Eastern Roman Empire's Equites Clibinarii or the Sassanid's Cataphracts. Graal Knights are one of, if not the most elite cavalry unit in the western world, with very little that can stand up against them in a straight fight. Graal Knights can be relied on in battle to be first into a fight and amongst the last to leave the field. They are dedicated warriors, and draw upon the military traditions and skills that the Romans brought to their home islands, in particular, the heavy cavalry skills of the Sarmatian auxiliaries who were once stationed in Britannia. These 'knights' have undertaken to defend good Christian folk - sometimes for pay - against the pagans who threaten them in the far-flung corners of the Empire. With the withdrawal of Roman forces from Britannia the local people have been forced to look to their own defence.
