Battanian Volunteer: Battanians

Discover the skill values for the Battanian Volunteer unit in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Learn their strengths in combat and how they compare to other troops.

Alright, let's talk about the Battanian Volunteer – a pretty solid choice if you're looking to build a versatile infantry force in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. They're not exactly the heavy hitters of the world, but they've got a good spread of skills that make them useful in a pinch.

Here's a breakdown of their core skill values:

As you can see, they really shine with their One Handed and Polearm skills, both sitting at a respectable 20. That means they'll hold their own in melee and can even put up a decent fight against cavalry with those polearms. Their Athletics skill is also solid at 20, which is great for keeping them moving on the battlefield and reducing fatigue.

Where they fall off a bit is in ranged combat. With a Bow skill of only 5 and a Crossbow skill of 0, they're not going to be your primary archers. Their Throwing skill is also just okay at 10. And don't expect them to be doing much cavalry work either, with a low Riding skill of 5.

Overall, think of the Battanian Volunteer as your dependable front-liner. They're good at wading into the fray, holding a line, and can contribute with polearms. Just don't rely on them for your archery needs!
