Skills & Formations

Playstyle

  1. Most of your damage comes from BludgeonBludgeonThe soldiers wield their fire lances like bludgeons, dealing area damage and knockback. During this period, they are immune to Dazed.
  2. Engage with 1 from mid-close range
  3. Once in, press 2 for heavy burst (swiping mace around)
  4. Skirmish cav, low blob fight potential, still a good flanker and clean-up

Tips & Tricks

  • Movement speed leverage DMG BUUUT sometimes entering blob at very low speed if there is enemy pikes is better as their DMG buff from speed will oneshot you before you use your own speed dmg modifier

Balance history Official balance changes for this unit, newest first. Each entry's Source opens the real patch notes.

21 changes
  1. Source ↗
    • Block break value for all attacks 1400 → 1100.
    • [Bludgeon] hitbox length remains unchanged, width reduced by 12.5%.
    • Swings during the [Bludgeon] skill now have a minimum cooldown restriction.
    • Added new Unit tag [Combat Penalty vs Heroes]: All attacks from this Unit suffer a 60% reduction in Armour Penetration and a 40% reduction in damage when hitting Heroes.
  2. Source ↗
    • Base Max [Health]: 8413 → 9334.
    • [Bludgeon] cooldown: 15s → 13s; duration: 8s → 4s.
    • [Devastation] is now unlocked at Level 1. [Devastation] base cooldown: 43s → 30s. The original Veterancy node effect changed to: melee attacks deal 12% increased damage to [Infantry].
    • Target count for [Bludgeon] and [Devastation]: 6 → 7.
    • Fixed an issue where the Veterancy point intended to increase [Bludgeon] damage was actually increasing armour penetration. The damage increase now also applies to [Devastation].
  3. Source ↗
    • Base Leadership 315 → 305.
  4. Source ↗
    • Base blunt damage: 1485 → 1605.
    • Base blunt armour penetration: 1856 → 2006.
  5. Source ↗
    • Fixed an issue where [Liao's Rangers] could not activate [Vigorous Assault] when too close to the enemy.
  6. Source ↗
    • Increased the maximum movement speed from 10.5 to 12.
    • Optimized their mobile turning action, as well as pathfinding and enemy-searching logic.
    • Reduced the cooldown of fire lance shooting when using normal attack from 12-18s to 8-13s.
    • Increased basic blunt armor penetration from 1656 to 1856 and basic blunt damage from 1246 to 1485.
    • Increased [Bludgeon]'s armor penetration by 15% and damage by 10%.
    • Increased [Devastation]'s damage by 10%.
    • Increased [Blast]'s accuracy by 50%, and armor penetration and damage by 25%.
    • Added a new unit trait [Drains]: each time they hit the target units, they will restore 500 health. After restoring 2500 health, they will gain a [Drains] buff lasting for 3 seconds when they can knock down the enemies via all their attacks and obtain a 10% movement speed bonus and 20% damage reduction.
  7. Source ↗
    • Fixed the issue where the [Bludgeon] of [Liao's Rangers] did not take effect.
  8. Source ↗
    • Improved the targeting algorithms of [Bludgeon] and [Valor] so the hit coverage can be larger when the units are too clustered.
    • Improved the targeting algorithm of [Flame Assault], and it will now prioritize the direction of nearby enemies.
    • Increased the hitbox of [Bludgeon] and the maximum number of targets to 6 (was 4).
  9. Source ↗
    • Reducing 'Bludgeon's' cooldown to 15 seconds (was 19) and extending its duration to 4 seconds (was 3.7).
    • Increasing 'Devastation's' blunt armour penetration by 21% and blunt damage by 12%, as well as 'Bludgeon's' blunt armour penetration by 16%.
    • Lowering the Fire Lance's firing delay by 30% and increasing the bullet count per shot to 3 (was 2).
  10. Source ↗
    • We're adjusting the hitbox of their basic attacks to lower the chance of them hitting nothing.
    • Improving the algorithm for how [Landslide] and [Valor] choose targets, enabling these skills to focus a specific area.
    • Following the special attacks of [Landslide] and [Valor], they will automatically return to the hero and await further command.
    • Reducing [Landslide]'s duration to 3.7 seconds (was 4.8) and its cooldown to 19 seconds (was 25).
    • Reducing [Valor]'s duration to 12 seconds (was 15) and cooldown to 42 seconds (was 50).
  11. Source ↗
    • Increasing the number of bullets shot and accuracy rate of their fire lances while charging, addressing the issue that they hardly ever hit enemies while charging.
    • Adjusting the damage hitbox of [Valour] so that the unit can hit enemies more accurately, reducing misses by 60%.
    • Increasing the buff the Northern Lance Cavalry gains from movement speed. They will now gain a boost to attack while moving: their damage increases with more movement speed, capping out at 15% extra damage.
  12. Source ↗
    • Landslide: As Landslide locks on to one target, the attack itself is difficult to land exactly right. And so we have improved upon the skill targeting and it will no longer prioritize attacking the same target.
    • Landslide's damage is somewhat delayed, making the attack slower and less accurate. We have thus changed it so that the damage triggers earlier in the attack, as well as making it more accurate.
    • Valour: As it was quite difficult to use Valour and reach the target cap, we've improved upon how it is calculated so that the skill may hit as many targets as possible.
    • Resolved an issue where pressing C could reset the basic attack of [Fire Lance Cavalry].
  13. Source ↗
    • We've reduced the target cap of the Northern Lance Cavalry's Landslide and Valour skills, and increased the blunt armour penetration of Landslide by 15% and blunt damage by 10%.
  14. Source ↗
    • Resolved an issue where Northern Lance Cavalry would stop attacking after using the "Valour" skill in close quarters.
  15. Source ↗
    • Resolved an issue where the 'Liao's Ranger's' 'Devastation' skill wouldn't deal damage as intended.
  16. Source ↗
    • Bludgeon reworked. Before: The unit uses its weapons to their full potential, bashing enemies in melee and firing at point-blank range. After: The soldiers wield their fire lances like bludgeons, dealing area damage and knockback. During this period, they are immune to Dazed.
    • Blast reworked. Before: The unit fires at the designated target. The closer the target is, the higher the chance of hitting them. After: The fire lances are fired straight ahead in three volleys. The shots cover a large area but are relatively low in damage and accuracy. Suitable against cavalry.
    • Resolved an issue where the 'Liao's Rangers' unit would sometimes stop when attacking freely.
    • Resolved an issue where the 'Liao's Rangers' unit would stop charging mid-charge and also refuse to attack nearby enemies.
  17. Source ↗
    • Resolved an issue where the 'Liao's Rangers' unit would sometimes stop moving after using the 'Gun Charge' or 'Bludgeon' skills.
  18. Source ↗
    • Resolved an issue where the ability graph for Rattan Rangers, Fire Lance Cavalry and Cataphract Lancers were not displayed correctly.
  19. Source ↗
    • Decreased Leadership Value from 350 to 320.
  20. Source ↗
