I’ve found that spamming the abilities in a row with the guards works far better than trying to maximize the cc immunity. They get the damage off far faster, giving the enemy less time to wittle them down, and they get back to defensive formation faster since the abilities are going off quicker! Although, I do agree that they are not super strong. Maybe they should have switched the huskarls and the varangians lol, huskarls seem much stronger.
Not sure if they changed the Varangian Guard since you made this video but I love them. One of my all time favorites, and I am starting to get very good with them, even now seeing success in Twar. Im from the future and can contest your statement on them. They are incredible. I run bottom and top lines, with defensive doctrines. They have great axe damage and are very tough in guard mode.
You can't tell me blue and above rarity ballistas and grapeshots aren't insanely overpowered especially on DEFEND. Taking a player out of the game for a minute or more is such huge value and it gets so much ammo. @6:20 for reference.
The are called different things between servers. Do you mean Rune effect? If so, I have a video on it releasing this week. If not, maybe I can help once Im sure what it is :)
@@KnightStalker thx. I've been having spear guards for a while but never touched them. And have some purple doctrines for spear and shields that I need to use
Vangarian very good at tight spot holding enemy Infantry wave over wave. my Modao cant even break through, so next match seeing them i bring Iron Reaper....oh yeah, only die 2 reaper full wipe them. but the only thing that really fun is being run over by Cavalry when they are defending on a open field...VIVA!
@@KnightStalker same, i dont like this unit so i rather go for Modao or Iron Reaper instead. This unit not as good as Maiden that got Mobility and various Passive buff. while Vaga only hold the Line wait Potatoes come slap them and they slap back harder.
Ah. See the thing is people expect me to be right up on top of my game and really I'm playing a couple of hours a day after work and just trying to share what I know with others. I have done a few videos of playing with other weapons (theres a playlist on my channel page) but switching weapons means some intense learning and its hard to show the game when I'm struggling with something I don't know how to play. Certainly I do it from time to time though :) If you are wanting to see a Glaive pro you could also check out Coffee Fuelled Gamings channel, Glynn knows what he's doing with the stick knife! :)
These guys can REALLY take a beating but sadly thats it at the moment. I know some people that make them work. By the way...norsemen. Can you take the reworked Shieldmaidens into a youtube vid battle?
@@vojteskaaaaaa6 I never said Varangian are particular good. For the casual player they are definitly not, way too specific. The current Shieldmaidens on the other hand are working quiet well, beating Berserkers and palace guard, trading with Iron reapers and taking a lot less damage from shenji grenades than other shieldunits
Bwuahahahaha "what are you doing step spear." Ohhh lord i laughed
Great Friday comedy :D
man, i really hope they buff the varangians, i was so lookin forward to them
Yes. Poor kittens are so weak. *sad cat noises*
Id like to believe the varangians are just undertuned, and with a larger hp pool or more armor theyd be better. Their damage seems to be really good.
Yeah damage is fine, they just melt like desert ice.
Hoping for that fine tuning

Not by much really, huskarls without charge barely make it to t4
@@josebellota3571 well, yeah. That’s why huskarls are good, is the charge lol
I did try the spam method a number of times, I think their weapon range is quite short and so they often miss
Alpha on the Huskarls is naaaaaasty

Oh yes, they have been changed several times since this video :)
Hello friend. I'm on the opposing team! Let's go! Btw, the shortbow on your team was cracked.
Well GG!
Yeah man, dude popped off!
That hero attire looks awesome
I could make a sack look good B)
thank u

Yah, they are quite powerful
Had knight ever mentioned he loves numbers?
Big juicy yellow numbers are probably my second fav. Red ones best
@@KnightStalker Ahhh SAME!
NO STEP SPEAR!!! IM STUCKKKKK
What was a washing machine doing on a tower anyway?
what is "and" how to trigger roar of the north

@@KnightStalker Thanks, I watched the video and it was very helpful
Which is better? Imperial spear guards or spear sergeants?
I'm a dual blades player
Spear guard by a long way :)
@@KnightStalker thx. I've been having spear guards for a while but never touched them. And have some purple doctrines for spear and shields that I need to use
@@KnightStalker how about stalwarts or spear guards? which one is better?
Still spear guard, by a long way

They are kinda over-specialised, I think. I don't enjoy this unit at all

How do u see fps in game?
Its a Steam setting
hey man have you consider playing with other weapons like glaive haha

These videos are fun to watch just for the commentary, but it's difficult to see what's actually go on the screen sometimes.
Have you tried my 'Battle Breakdown' videos? I slow the whole thing down and talk a bit about whats going on and why :)
@@KnightStalker I have not, I will have to check them out if the step-spear will allow it loo
These guys can REALLY take a beating but sadly thats it at the moment. I know some people that make them work.
By the way...norsemen. Can you take the reworked Shieldmaidens into a youtube vid battle?
I find they can only take a beating in shield formation :(
Yeah I been working with them a bit, lets see how it goes :)
They Re not working its same as people with shieldmaidens they saying its good strong blablabla and its just only next food chain unit.

How have I missed this video. And that intro. Hilarious but extremely unrealistic. More like Step LONGsword. It even has long in the name.
I appreciate you censoring inappropriate parts of your video but a NSFW tag should be considered as well.
Indeed!
You're right! I am sorry and I will do better!
this game is so dead my man :) 90% games have boots (npc)
I think you are on a low pop server, should move to one of the high pop ones
@@KnightStalker i play on eu1 ...
Thats... wow
