Lance

Lance

Lance (or spear) is a pole weapon, same as a pike. It is used by every cavalry lancer. It also has a stance as the pike by pressing X. You cant attack or block if you are in that stance, so press X again to go back to hostile. The lance only has one attack direction, which is down.

Design

Lance has a black wooden shaft, iron capping at end and a metal spear head. And a 2-colored flag on the shaft. Russian lancer's have a brown wooden shaft and the same capping and spear head,but without the small flag.

Usage of Lances

Lances were mainly used by cavalry lancers to kill enemy infantry from a further range on the horse. Lances weren't really made for close quarters combat due to its bad attack speed and range. but still can be used. Its not a 1-hit against cavalry horses but is usually so against foot soldiers adding to the purpose of the lancer role.
