Skills

1

Boar Snout

The Huskarls get in formation in front of the hero to help fight off enemies, and then move along with the hero.

2

Skald's Song

The Huskarls beat their weapons to the tune of an ancient warsong, inspiring themselves as well as their Northern colleagues, increasing movement as well as slashing and blunt armour penetration, and reducing their damage taken. The longer the warsong lasts, the more inspiring it becomes.

3

Huskarl Charge

The Huskarls charge toward the nearest enemy, launching a continuous attack.

4

Sea Surge

The Huskarls charge toward the nearest enemy, and launch one all-out attack.

5

Gathering Storm

The Huskarls make a short sprint forward. If they collide with an enemy, they will immediately knock them down.

Formations

Dispersed

The unit forms a spread-out square formation to lessen the impact of ranged attacks.

Shield Formation

The Huskarls form a layered shield formation to protect the hero behind them.
