Your friendly guide to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare classes. Learn about the Archer, Man-at-Arms, Vanguard, and Knight to dominate the battlefield!

Alright, let's dive into the different classes you can play in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Knowing who's who and what they're good at is key to not getting stomped on! ### Archer These guys are all about keeping their distance. They use bows, crossbows, and javelins to pick off enemies from afar. Super high piercing damage, which is great for taking down anyone. BUT, and this is a big 'but', if someone gets close, they're in trouble. Archers are meant for sneak attacks, not standing toe-to-toe in a brawl. * Armor: None * Speed: Medium ### Man-at-Arms Think of the Man-at-Arms as the speedy, slippery fighter. They're the lightest melee class, focusing on quick hits and using their dodge to get away fast. They're awesome at hunting down Archers because they're so quick and can block with shields. Just be careful when you're going up against Knights or Vanguards – their heavy hits can take you down in just two swings! Oh, and they can throw oil pots, which are super handy for setting up fiery traps for groups or shield-wielding enemies. * Armour: Low * Speed: High ### Vanguard The Vanguard is your all-rounder with average armor and speed. They excel in melee thanks to their long-reaching, two-handed weapons. They can pretty much tear through lighter classes, but Knights are a tough nut to crack. You'll need some serious strength and a good two-handed blunt weapon to get through their heavy armor quickly. They wear chainmail, which is medium armor. * Armour: Medium * Speed: Medium ### Knight This is your tank. The Knight is decked out in heavy armor, can take a beating like no other, and dishes out some serious damage. Their main weaknesses are the Man-at-Arms' speed and the Vanguard's reach, so expect to take some practice to get used to fighting them. The Knight has a cool trick up his sleeve: he can wield a two-handed weapon in one hand and still use a shield with the other. They wear plate armor, which is heavy armor. * Armour: High * Speed: Low So, pick your poison and get out there! Knowing these basics will really help you figure out your role on the battlefield.
