Overview
Five-star heavy infantry for the front line and for guarding your hero. Brawlers with very strong burst against shield infantry and heroes.
Strengths
- Very strong burst against shield infantry and heroes
- Wide sweep breaks shields and cuts through clustered infantry
- Good armour, trades well while skills are active
- Great next to a tanky front-line hero
- Bodyguard stance: tight around the hero, more toughness
Weaknesses
- No shields: focused ranged fire and artillery
- Weaker with skills on cooldown
- Braced pikes, cavalry charges and heavy CC
- Has to stay near the team
- Overextend after the skills and they get surrounded
How to Play
- Stay in bodyguard stance near your hero: tight formation, more toughness.
- Walk into a fight that's already going. Don't send them in first.
- Open with the wide halberd sweep into shields or an infantry blob.
- Follow with the heavy strike to knock down and finish the key target, elite infantry or a hero.
- Pull back when skills and buffs end.
- Use terrain, walls or allied shields against arrows and guns.
- Come from the side of a fight, not straight in.
- Stay out of open firing lanes and away from braced pikes.
- Save the sweep for dense formations.
Hero Class Synergy
Best with tanky frontline heroes (Poleaxe, Maul, Longsword & Shield) who can dive into fights and create the melee clusters for Silahdars to exploit
