Skills

Shield Wall

The shield wall is a tightly packed formation intended to defend in one direction.

Schiltron

The unit forms a ring to defend anything in the centre.

Unique doctrines The unit's own doctrine slots from the game data. Amya's picks live in the guide below.

Guide

Playstyle

  1. Snipe ranged and special units from very far away
  2. Kill ~10 Stalwarts after a Charge throw if you have their 2 block-break doctrines
  3. 1 throw increases their DPS by a bit but usually not worth the ammo cost

Pros: snipe range, anti-Stalwart Charge-throw burst, defensive ammo recovery against ranged.

Cons: trade or lose to Ironcap Swordsmen, cav kills them for dinner, artillery magnets due to charge animation.

Defensive tip: abuse the no-DMG-drop-off they have when on defense. Even better if enemy has Hwarangs or archers shooting at you
