Deserter

Understand the Deserter troop type in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. See their skill values for One Handed, Two Handed, Polearm, Bow, Crossbow, Throwing, Riding, and Athletics.

Alright, let's talk about the Deserter troop type in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. These guys are a bit of a mixed bag, and knowing their stats is key to using them effectively or knowing what you're up against.

Here's a breakdown of their skill values:

As you can see, they really shine in One Handed and Athletics, making them decent frontline infantry. They've got some skill in Throwing and Riding too, but their Two Handed and Crossbow skills are pretty much non-existent, so don't expect them to be specialists in those areas.

Keep these numbers in mind when you're deciding whether to recruit them, train them up, or how to counter them on the battlefield!
