Just wanted to thank you for showing me how to play the long sword and shield... I've been watching you longer then I've been subscribed but am now. My favorite unit has always been imperial spear guards and always will be.
Oh well glad you find it helpful mate, we all learn together eh? From my side I'm just playing my hobby and glad that anyone at all would watch my videos lol. #spearguardmeta
Musket : Knocks down enemy, does 70% of his hp and kills him. Knightstalker: "That rat stole my kill" Also if you cycle between F3 and cover commander you can basically have perma CC immunity on shield bois
From my understanding of the pike changes it seems that the listed units will now brace when ordered to, instead of waiting for the whole unit to get into formation, making Fortibraccio even more versatile... oh no
Men-at-arms also got buffed significantly. I am starting to wonder if reg men-at-arms will beat out paladins now specc'ed for shield bash + shield formation (play like faster moving, better formation palace guards). Do you know or expect that paladins also received the 38% buff to shield rush?
I don't think Paladins would get it, no. Prefecture guard beat paladins and men at arms for a lower cost, the whole unit line is obsolete IMO - buff or no buff.
ah theres that db taunt lol and such fun video. sometimes i hate leaving team mates to die, but all three took peashants and my purple unit. i need to learn it's ok to leave and not waste units, but still feels bad.
Maul for sure. As a poleaxe main, I realize I’m a bit biased, but cc is pretty much all the poleaxe has going for it. I doubt it would be very playable if it’s cc got nerfed.
i've been doing that dumping blue and green mats to that season npc since a few season ago, got to 25k points pretty fast if you max it every week, but sadly cant do that anymore this season, can only donate up to green mats, and also that alchemist npc also reset its stocks every week
hey knight awesome video but I have a question is there an easy way to get leadership doctrines ? btw what was that 4 ability you had on the shields ? (first comment)
Other than the usual take your chances on the treatise opening, they can also come from reward boxes and occasionally the special purple doctrine location (hit X) - On my server you can get a higher chance on that right now. Otherwise no, gotta keep grinding :)
those are the best doctrine & also the rarest/legendary doctrine to get , so they're extremely difficult. I mean the 16% leadership reduce btw. U can get the 6% leadership reduce fairly easily tho from the 'events' . Those are not too bad imo. Those 6% LS doctrine make some units very viable to use.
Have you gotten any T5 doctrines from the alchemy system for your Imp Spear Guard? I managed to get myself the T5 doctrine that increases all defenses by 130 and total damage reduction by I think 6% which made em even more tanky lol.
I might opt into this unit as well. I still love my stlawrts and whenever I play a different tower shield I am always like :" where is my brace?". Because with the imp shields you don't do damage if you are in formation- your damage comes from cover commander and the fact that they attack as one while blocking. However, I feel that the devs need to gut maul. It was never a liked class with the dumb grab and the shield destroying potential. Because not only do I sacrifice damage to get standfast( I swapped my stalwart brace damage doctrine out for it) but even with that ability I still get destroyed.
uhhhhhh... whaaaaaat? So... I just been giving the fame envoy trophies this entire time... You telling me that I can use bronze to get that fame boosted? Well... guess what I'm doing next time I get on. Your tip is appreciated! What is that 4th order on your spearmen?
You can give the fame envoy a lot of different stuff :) Horse vendor will sell you junk you can donate or even break down for parts too. Including powdered silver from the saddles. 4th skill: I can't remember what the doctrine is called buf it give the unit 2.5sec of CC immunity
@@KnightStalker Question, what would be your recommended blunt damage for LS? I heard it was good to have it to the point of one shotting an archer with the clash of shields but i dont know what number that is.
Yes I think the doctrine is critical. Blunt damage I dont care about, the clash skill isnt what it used to be and i dont think killing archers with it is really viable anymore
@@KnightStalker I havent noticed any of the skills saying so. After you said that I curious enough to actually try maul :/ . But I have been interrupted numerous times while in the middle of an attack.
@@KnightStalker I have noticed in a death match(and yes I was doing LS in deathmatch, lol) that i looked back after clash of shields that the turd... err I mean maul was still on his feet.

Love Imperial Spear Guard. Best Shield Unit!
Musket : Knocks down enemy, does 70% of his hp and kills him.
Knightstalker: "That rat stole my kill"
Also if you cycle between F3 and cover commander you can basically have perma CC immunity on shield bois
I licked it so its mine!
Knightstalker's character gets headshoted by a balista* "huh? must have been my imagination."
"Must've been the wind"
Will be sweet to use different units! And amen on the remove CC immunity, i dont mind the damage its the fact you cant do anything about it haha
Being interruptible is all the main skills need to be balanced :/
From my understanding of the pike changes it seems that the listed units will now brace when ordered to, instead of waiting for the whole unit to get into formation, making Fortibraccio even more versatile... oh no
Perhaps! I'll find out real soon :)
That isg buff sounds absolutely INSANE
Right? New meta!
Men-at-arms also got buffed significantly. I am starting to wonder if reg men-at-arms will beat out paladins now specc'ed for shield bash + shield formation (play like faster moving, better formation palace guards). Do you know or expect that paladins also received the 38% buff to shield rush?

DB's need to learn which weapon is boss ;)
hope they nerf CC in this game (Poleaxe, Maul, Scimitar...)
Maul for sure. As a poleaxe main, I realize I’m a bit biased, but cc is pretty much all the poleaxe has going for it. I doubt it would be very playable if it’s cc got nerfed.
Its kinda core to mechanics, I dont think we'll see a lot of change with it - for better or worse
i've been doing that dumping blue and green mats to that season npc since a few season ago, got to 25k points pretty fast if you max it every week, but sadly cant do that anymore this season, can only donate up to green mats, and also that alchemist npc also reset its stocks every week
They changed it, then changed it back, then changed it again lol - who knows what will be settled on!
Also our varangian guard any good
I do not like the unit. I dont think they perform well or have much potential :/
@@KnightStalker you should do series on units you think need to be fixed and how they should or could be fixed
Quite a good idea!

leadership doctrines are not on mygames.
Also that ^

Not specifically for them but i am full of envy for the 130/6%!!!

Because not only do I sacrifice damage to get standfast( I swapped my stalwart brace damage doctrine out for it) but even with that ability I still get destroyed.
Just remove CC immunity during their skills would make Maul fine, a massive killing strike is fine if there is a way to play smart and interrupt it :/
Btw -15% stacked twice would be 27.25% reduction, not that big of a deal just thought you should know
Assuming its not taken on the base stat both times yeah?
I have no evidence for it either way
@@KnightStalker Yeah i think some research would have to be done with some bigger stats to see which one the devs chose .
Awesome video and unit movement 👍☺️❤🙂
Hope you habe the ISG unit, these bois are gonna be huge :)
I love how with spear guard soon longsward will have a 28% all the time 😂
ImMoRtAlItY aWaItS }8^)
When I saw that title I started to wonder why you’re posting horror stories
Man I have ptsd from those skillful players
Maybe 'run from the maul' or 'dont engage the maul' wouldve been better haha
@@KnightStalker I mean any game with maul in it’s a horror story
Time to change to longsword
Welcome to the dark side ;)
I had 10 mauls on my team and 8 on other team yesterday. 18/30 players had mauls.
What else is there to say?
Armaulgeddon :(
How's the state of the game these days? I stopped playing last season
Pretty good in general. We are finally getting almost weekly balance updates :)
uhhhhhh... whaaaaaat? So... I just been giving the fame envoy trophies this entire time... You telling me that I can use bronze to get that fame boosted? Well... guess what I'm doing next time I get on. Your tip is appreciated! What is that 4th order on your spearmen?

4th skill: I can't remember what the doctrine is called buf it give the unit 2.5sec of CC immunity
@@KnightStalker oh ok. Was wondering is that doctrine worth it? I think I have it but i havent used it yet.
@@KnightStalker Question, what would be your recommended blunt damage for LS? I heard it was good to have it to the point of one shotting an archer with the clash of shields but i dont know what number that is.
Yes I think the doctrine is critical.

Finally i wont get bursted down by 2 chain darts jumpin me in mid of my ipsg and killing me, then escaping.
Indeed! Bring the pain! :)
I have noticed zero cc immunity on the maul. What gives it cc immunity?
Its skills do
@@KnightStalker I havent noticed any of the skills saying so. After you said that I curious enough to actually try maul :/ . But I have been interrupted numerous times while in the middle of an attack.
I bounce off them with clash so something must be going on.
Remember there are many kinds of CC and you are not immune to all of them
@@KnightStalker I have noticed in a death match(and yes I was doing LS in deathmatch, lol) that i looked back after clash of shields that the turd... err I mean maul was still on his feet.
Chain dart was nerfed...it doesnt work 30 to 40% of the time...same with Scorpion...whiff when right next to heros
It was bugged according to patch notes, should be fixed?
Long sword needs to be neerfed now . Not maul my friend
Things people never expected to say :)
