Vlandian Levy Crossbowman: Vlandian Ranged

Master the Vlandian Levy Crossbowman in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord! Learn its stats, strengths, and how to effectively use this Vlandian ranged unit in your army.

Alright, let's talk about the Vlandian Levy Crossbowman. If you're looking to add some solid ranged firepower to your Vlandian army, these guys are a good starting point. They might not be the absolute best in the game, but they're reliable and can really hold their own, especially when you're just getting your feet wet with the Vlandian roster.

Here's a quick look at their core stats, which gives you a good idea of what they're good at:

As you can see, their Crossbow skill is sitting pretty at 40, which is their main selling point. Their Athletics skill is also decent at 40, meaning they'll be able to keep up a bit better on the march and won't get tired out as quickly in a fight. The other skills are pretty low, so don't expect them to be charging into melee or doing much with bows – stick to what they're good at!

When you're building your army, especially early on, having a solid core of Vlandian Levy Crossbowmen can make a huge difference. They provide that crucial ranged support that can soften up enemies before they even reach your lines, or pick off key targets while your infantry holds the front. Just make sure you keep them protected; they're not built for close combat, so position them behind your shield wall or on high ground if possible.
