Chivalry 2 features four distinct combat classes, each designed to fulfill specific battlefield roles in medieval warfare. Understanding these classes optimizes team play and personal effectiveness.
Knight
The Knight class excels in frontline defense with heavy armor and high health, but slow movement. Focuses on absorbing damage and holding objectives. Subclasses include:
- Officer: Provides buffs to allies.
- Guardian: Equipped with shields for enhanced protection.
Vanguard
Vanguards serve as primary damage dealers, utilizing long-range polearms and two-handed weapons. They sacrifice defense for mobility and high damage output. Key subclasses are:
- Devastator: Wields heavy weapons for crowd control.
- Ambusher: Excels at flanking and surprise attacks.
- Raider: Balances offense with secondary tools.
Footman
Footmen act as versatile support with medium armor. They can switch between offense and defense, ideal for repairing structures and controlling areas. Subclasses feature:
- Man-at-Arms: Fast and agile for hit-and-run tactics.
- Poleman: Uses spears to maintain distance.
- Engineer: Deploys traps and builds fortifications.
Archer
Archers provide essential ranged support, relying on bows or crossbows. Their light armor makes them vulnerable in close combat. Subclasses specialize in:
- Longbowman: High accuracy at long distances.
- Crossbowman: Balances power with slower reload times.
- Skirmisher: Offers mobility with thrown weapons.
Mastering class roles enhances team synergy. Experiment with subclasses to adapt to combat scenarios and achieve victory.
