Spear
- Attribute
- Full Agility
- Weapon stats
- NEED PIERCING DAMAGE (like oxygen, maximize this), Piercing Pen ; bonus Agility/Str/Crit value/Crit dmg (in that order)
- Epic Schematic
- Definitely no, as you don't benefit much from the passive stats it gives vs the flat dmg u get from normal Carnifex/Earthshatter set. Sergeant's Camisole
- Best armor
- play earthshatter set for stunt on ultimate or full medium if not enough special shem
- Best gender
- N/A (animation change depending on it)
- Aiming (Hero)
- Assisted Yes or No, Locked off (it's a close fighter, just with the assist you're more than good to play, locked restricts it too much and can put you in danger more than desired)
- Aiming (Units)
- Assisted off, Locked off
Playstyle
Different Playstyles:
- Procri’s Grift, hurricane, lugh’s march, Dragon’s roar or heaven’s fury if earthshatter set
- Procri’s Grift, hurricane/overhead strike, lugh’s march/overhead strike, Dragon’s roar or heaven’s fury if earthshatter set
Overall both builds are viable, overhead strike just provides more 1v1 or overall more hero killing potential, but it’s diminished considering the less “easy prey” scenarios the current meta has to offer
Hurricane: Multi-purpose stagger hero/unit + very quick passive stacker (you can legit dismount behind units, hurricane, and it will be very hard for anyone to reach you, plus you stagger all units that aren’t blocking it
Procri’s Grift: The last hitting god. When in stalemate setup scenarios, spam this (trying to aim at any exo hiding behind blobs). Legit SPAM this skill, takes like 3 to 5? to kill hidden exos like cocos/flames ~
Lugh’s March: Your (sadly) only CC recovery, use wiselo or use it while you aim at the enemy trying to hit you to prevent any undesired dmg/cc. Because you are blocking while using this skill, be mindful of after-animation block usages, as if your block breaks it can lead to some unwanted stun if hit again, so use wisely!
DRILLLLL: Mostly used after dismount, and preferably (or you’ll do legit z dmg) on the enemy BACK! You can still use this skill freely from the ground if you see the chance (enemy stunned etc, or just from straight up back-attack positional advantage scenario). You can also use this skill to deal a big chunk of damage to units if you hit them from behind (or those that are rotating in a straight line)
Overhead strike: This skill you use to maximize your pvp dmg, so use it before bursting with Drill etc, still, pretty niche scenarios and not worth currently
Gameplay is straight forward, look for undefended prey, poke with horse right click (try to bait some cooldowns from enemy), dismount, DRILLLL and procri’s if enemy is still alive for the free kill
Other than that, I’d say play wisely if you wanna engage in supporting your units, as you can get destroyed like nothing if you give with horse into blobs or just yallah hurricane, so for starters just focus on maximizing your hero and unit synergy (cav/exo/static units/standlone units etc)
