Halberdier

(image)

Halberdiers are the élite of the common soldiery. Their halberds, though requiring considerable strength and training to use, are far more versatile than pikes or spears, having axe-like blades with which unwitting enemies may be sliced apart.

Special Notes: The length of this unit's weapon allows it to strike first in melee, even in defense.A Halberdier has the Formation ability; its physical resistances are increased by 10% when it is adjacent to another unit with this ability.
