Battanian Veteran Skirmisher

Master the Battanian Veteran Skirmisher in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord! Explore its skill values, strengths, and how it fits into your army composition.

Alright, let's talk about the Battanian Veteran Skirmisher. These guys are a pretty solid choice if you're leaning into the Battanian roster, especially if you like to keep your enemies at a distance but still want some melee punch.

Here's a breakdown of their key skill values:

What does this tell us? Well, they're absolute beasts with Polearms (100!) and have great Athletics (100 too), meaning they can close distance or hold a line well. Their Throwing skill is also quite high (90), so they can dish out some serious pain before closing in. Their One-Handed skill is decent at 60, so they won't completely fold if they get into a close-quarters fight, but it's not their main strength. Bows and Crossbows are pretty weak for them, so don't expect them to be your primary archers.

Think of them as versatile frontline troops that can also throw a mean axe or spear. They're great for supporting your main infantry or even leading a charge with their polearm prowess.
