Polehammers and billhooks are capable of destroying most mid tier armor in a single attack, rendering their targets vulnerable to attacks from the rest of the formation or killing them outright Backstabber means they will have an considerably easier time hitting enemies surrounded by a footmen shield wall. Readily uses repel to protect their vulnerable units and hook to draw enemies into being surrounded, if they have the appropriate weapon. Tactics Since they have no shields and have mediocre armor at best, they are very vulnerable to all attacks that can reach them Focus on those with billhooks and polehammers over those with pikes. Attempt to shoot them with your archers and crossbowmen if the enemy group has no arbelasters of their own that will demand your attention. Attempt to disrupt or break through the footmen in front of them, after the billmen fall the encounter becomes far less dangerous. Attempt to flank them after the engagement has started so there are no footmen to guard them there. The Split skill of two handed swords and Bardiches can be used to great effect.
