The Buffalo Rider attacks by ramming her target. The damage scales based on the distance between her and her target. If there is a distance of at least four squares between her starting position and her target's position, the target (exept in the case of the Dog Soldier) will be pushed backward one square. If her target is between a rider attacking from more than three squares away and another unit, rock, or uncrossable ground, the damage dealt is increased as a 'Slam bonus'.

She does x*n damage to the unit she attacks, x being the distance between the tile she started out on and the tile the target is on, and n being a quarter of the damage she deals to the unit according to the base damage and damage and defence bonuses. Note that this means that if the Buffalo Rider is standing next to a unit, and then moves around it to attack from the other side, it still only does 1*n damage. If the square a unit would be pushed back into is blocked, it will take an additional 25% damage.
