Imperial Vigla Recruit: Imperial Special Troops

Discover the Imperial Vigla Recruit's skill values in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Learn its strengths and weaknesses to better recruit and utilize this Imperial special troop.

Alright, let's talk about the Imperial Vigla Recruit. These guys are part of the Imperial Special Troops, and while they lean heavily into one-handed combat, their other skills are pretty low. Think of them as a specialized unit rather than an all-rounder.

Here's a breakdown of their core skill values:

As you can see, their One Handed skill is their absolute standout at 60. They've also got a decent Polearm and Riding skill at 40, which means they can be effective in certain situations, especially if you're looking for infantry that can hold a line or dismount from cavalry effectively. However, their Two Handed, Crossbow, and Throwing skills are practically non-existent at 5. Their Bow and Athletics skills are also quite low at 20.

So, what does this mean for you? If you're planning on using Imperial Vigla Recruits, focus on equipping them with one-handed weapons and shields. They'll perform best in close-quarters combat where their high One Handed skill can shine. Don't expect them to be archers, skirmishers, or heavy two-handed shock troops. Their decent Polearm skill might make them a decent option for holding a formation, but their low Athletics means they might struggle to keep up in prolonged engagements or rapid advances.
