Battanian Wildling

Master the Battanian Wildling in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord! Discover their skill values for One Handed, Two Handed, Polearm, Bow, Crossbow, Throwing, Riding, and Athletics.

Alright, let's talk about the Battanian Wildling. These guys are pretty interesting units in Bannerlord, and knowing their stats is key if you're looking to build a strong Battanian army or counter them effectively. They're not exactly the frontline shock troops, but they bring some unique strengths to the table.

Here's a breakdown of their skill values. Think of these as their natural aptitudes – what they're inherently good at before any perks kick in:

As you can see, the Wildling really shines in Athletics (140) and Throwing (130). That means they're going to be good at closing distance, engaging in melee with some decent unarmed or thrown weapon skills, and generally being tough to take down. Their One Handed skill is also pretty solid at 120, so they won't be completely useless if they get into a close-quarters fight with a sword or axe.

Where they're less impressive is in ranged combat, with a low Crossbow skill (20) and a mediocre Bow skill (60). They're also not cavalry units, with a Riding skill of 60, and their Two Handed and Polearm skills are only at 80, meaning they're not your go-to for heavy cavalry charges or forming a pike wall.

So, what does this mean for you? If you're using Wildlings, lean into their strengths. They're excellent skirmishers and can hold their own in a brawl thanks to their high Athletics and decent One Handed. Their throwing skill means they can soften up targets before closing in, or provide harassing fire. If you're fighting *against* them, don't expect them to be your primary ranged threat, but be wary of their melee capabilities and their ability to close ground quickly.

Keep these numbers in mind when you're deciding on your army composition or planning your battles!
