Pike
The Pike is a melee unit from the Legacy faction. They are equipped with the Pike - Drop. |
Characteristics
The Pike is a Legacy faction Unit that wields a very long, high damage dealing Pike. It's fairly similar to the Sarissa, but has some key differences, one being the most obvious is the length of its weapon, and another one of which being that it loses its pike after one attack then proceeds to slap the opposing team's units.

Usage
The unit wields a long pike, similar to the Sarissas. These weapons do incredibly high damage but become static objects once used, leaving the Pike unit with no weapons. Pikes work best offensively in a single charge attack, as their single-use weapons make them a poor defensive unit. They also struggle against enemies that aren't directly in front of them, as they have to slowly swing around in a wide arc in order to attack enemies on their flank. Enemies that are too close will be unable to receive the incredibly high damage that the Pike's tip can deal.
However, despite them being poor defensive units without their pikes, stationary Pikes with a Banner Bearer in an area where they cannot be flanked can be useful against boss units that don't have any ranged attacks and/or any abilities that can disrupt formations since they're unable to tank the hits nor can they do anything against the pikes. This is especially useful against slow boss units like The King, Jarl, and Mammoth.
