Counters
- Loses to: High minimum DMG: Liao’s Rangers, Iron Reapers, Rattans
- Struggles vs: Units that can get through you: Queen’s Knights, Iron Reapers and the like
- This unit counters: Everything, you soak dmg for team and your team cav can enter front if you are baiting enemy pike into hitting you
Playstyle
- Front-line for your team, protect the dps
- You are fixing the front-lane, don’t bait your dps units and don’t get flanked
- Push into the enemy midline and soak as much damage as possible
- Press 1 for the defence buff, then X-move in to cancel the animation
- Hold 3 for when you start taking damage
- Press 2 right after 3, never before: 3 boosts what 2 gives you
- CCi either on engage to stay deep in the enemy blob, or at the end of 3
- Watch for lag, don’t hold 3 too late
