Guide
Full AgilityHero killer, high burst but you die fast.
Hero Killer playstyle has to be used carefully since you die very fast due to high burst damage in the game. If used properly it is viable.
Full Armour / HealthThe most viable build, tanky formation opener.
This build is currently the most viable since you can last a lot longer in close melee combat, which allows you to open formations and play more aggressive in combination with your units. This build is mostly used.
Skills
WANDERING DRAGON: Every stage of this skill allows you to phase through units.
- STAGE ONE: Increases your movement speed by 30% for 3 seconds and adds a damage reduction of 30% for 3 seconds. Perfect for starting a combination of attacks and to increase your speed while on foot. Can also be used to reposition yourself behind an enemy unit or gain distance faster in a hero fight.
- STAGE TWO: Adds a damage reduction of 30% for 3 seconds and increases all types of damage and armour penetration by 12%.
- STAGE THREE: This skill will again add a damage reduction of 30%, and it is also used as ANTI-CC because it immediately removes “dazed”, “knocked down” and “stun”. While engaging in hero fights this should be kept in mind.
SKY DRAGON:
All stages deal blunt or piercing damage. The 3 stages are used in combination with other skills. Can also be used to break soft gates fast.
ULTIMATE: Your ultimate is GREEN DRAGON, which is used to deal your main damage to enemy heroes. It is recommended to use the WATER DRAGON or SKY DRAGON (Pin) as a follow up in the hero fight. You should do 1 auto attack in-between the combo to do even more damage. If you simply want to open a formation you should use WANDERING DRAGON as a follow up, since it has a big radius of effect which disrupts formations easily.
RIGHT CLICK ON HORSE: The right click when mounted is very powerful to open enemy formations, so if you decide to engage an enemy unit make sure to execute a right click before dismounting. It can also be used to stagger cav or dismount heroes on their horse. The right click also adds a lot of speed on horse when pressed.
LEFT CLICK ON HORSE: The left click while mounted should be used before dismounting, because it consumes no stamina and also staggers the enemy.
Hero vs Hero fight:
When fighting heroes as a pike it is your goal to knock the enemy down and land your ultimate. While learning this class you should always try to be as mobile and flexible as possible. Use your dismount to stun heroes, mix in auto attacks into your combos, roll and block to cancel animations, and never be stationary as pike. MOVEMENT IS KEY!
Learn your combos and the little tricks as shown in the videos down below to outplay your enemy.
