Veterancy Line what to spend your points on. Nodes unlock as the unit levels.
Recommended veterancy- Full Bottom Line (Recommended): Provides consistent results. The 2 ability has three quick attacks, can proc parry, has some block break, and deals very high minimum damage. - Full Top Line: The 1 ability is slow, lacks block capability, and has minimal block break, but this line snowballs better and better in blob fights.

Skills & Formations
Double StrikeDouble StrikeThe unit launches two advancing attacks in the designated direction. Damage taken from cavalry is reduced by 20% while this is active.
Disrupting SweepDisrupting SweepThis attack disrupts the attacks of multiple enemies, interrupting their current actions.
DispersedDispersedA loose formation that reduces unit vulnerability to ranged weapons.
BlockBlockA dense formation intended to increase the unit's defence capability.
ColumnColumnA formation suitable for making fast charges.Playstyle
- 1 -> 2 Combo: Use the 1 ability, and right before the second strike occurs, use the 2 ability. This makes the 2 ability CCi for the rest of the 1 ability’s duration. Pull the unit out and repeat. The combo overcomes the 2 ability’s weakness of not animating if CC’d or dazed, and ensures damage goes through.
- Maximize DPS: The 1 ability phases through enemy units, allowing the 2 ability to maximize DPS while inside the enemy unit.
- Avoid Blob Fights: If your 1 ability is on cooldown and you have the 2 ability, engage in matchups where the enemy doesn’t have stun/daze capabilities. Avoid blob fights.
- Hero Engagements: The 2 ability can one-shot heroes even with a couple of models and has a short cooldown with the bottom line. Use it confidently in deathmatches.

Tips & Tricks
- 1 Ability (Piercing Strike): Has speed modifiers that allow it to deal significant damage to charging units. Phases through enemy units regardless of type (tower shields, CCi units).
- 2 Ability (Storm Pound): Has blocking capability, procs the parry passive. The block regenerates quickly, similar to Zweihander’s 2 ability.
- Disarm Mechanic: All abilities have a disarm effect, preventing the enemy from attacking for a set duration. If disarmed mid-animation, the current animation completes, but the next one is halted.
- High Minimum Damage: Both 1 and 2 abilities have high minimum damage, making them effective against high DR/armor units.
- Weakness of 2 Ability: The activation range is short. If the unit is dazed, perma-stunned, or knocked down as the 2 ability is activated, the attack animation may be delayed or not occur.
- 1 Ability is NOT a CC Cleanse: Keep this in mind during engagements.
