BOAR SPEAR

Weight: ~4 kg

Rank(s): 1st and 2nd row

Boar spear is a very thick massive spear with a broad head. They are versatile, since they can be used by footmen and horsemen alike. The former can set their spears into the ground, in hope of impaling a charging enemy. Footmen can use thse spears as melee weapons or as missile weapons. Horsemen use spears in much the same way as lances.

As for long spears, unless one is prepared to forego shield protection and use the weapon with two hands, it is not worth selecting over the normal spear. Long spears need room to be wielded properly, they cannot be thrown, their damage is not much better than a normal spear, and they are slower than their smaller bretheren.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:

Battlecry, Impale, Lure, Mangle and Polearms.
