Skills

1

Brace Halberds

The unit braces its weapons and prepares to charge. This tactic will cause massive damage to charging enemies, and unlocks the Battle Charge order.

2

Battle Charge

Activated by using Brace Halberds first. After a brief pause to build up energy, the unit charges as directed, causing heavy piercing damage and a crowd control effect on any enemies struck. The magnitude of the crowd control effect depends on how far the unit charges.

3

Stab and Hook

For 10 seconds after activation, the next normal attack will inflict a precise stab on the enemy target. Afterwards, each soldier forcefully pulls their halberd back, inflicting bleeding damage and Slow on their foe.

Formations

Dispersed

The unit spreads out a little to lessen the damage from ranged attacks.

Phalanx

A dense formation intended to concentrate the unit's attack and defence capabilities.
