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

Guide
Playstyle
- Their passive poison deal insane DMG & reduce DMG a lot
- Their pike has a nice range of attack. Always try to flank
- Optimize DPS by X-moving and V (V, when the auto-attack DMG pop-up appears, X-move and V again to cancel the end of the auto-attack animation)
- Their auto-attack “explodes” with poison. Main DMG is poison, so stack some poison (~4/5 auto-attacks), then back off for a few seconds and re-engage. No need to perma front-line during blob fights
The Charge doctrine is a must-have. It’s a flat DMG number (does the same vs phalanx or T2 pikes). You can win matchups you’d never expect: Iron Reapers, even Yanyuedao at their prime with the right charge.
Doctrines
Highest level you can.
Mandatory
- Pike Assault Doctrine (allows the unit to use the Pike Assault order, flat charge DMG)
- Poison Doctrine V (+140 all AP, +60 poison DMG, stacks up to 2x)
Top Pick
- Health & Blunt Defence Doctrine IV (+440 HP, +125 blunt defence)
- Health & Defence Doctrine IV (+440 HP, +40 all defences)
- Epic Leadership Doctrine (-16% leadership cost)
Filler
- Unit Damage Doctrine V (dream setup, replaces Leadership, rarely achievable since most warbands need V slotted elsewhere)
Don’t put
- Don’t put DMG but Poison V
