Sturgian Heavy Spearman

Master the Sturgian Heavy Spearman in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord! Learn their skill values, strengths, and how they fit into your army composition with this quick guide.

Alright, let's talk about the Sturgian Heavy Spearman. These guys are your bread and butter for holding the line in Bannerlord, especially if you're leaning into the Sturgian faction or just need some solid infantry. They're not the flashiest unit, but they get the job done.

Here's a quick look at their skill values:

As you can see, their real strength lies in their Polearm skill (140) and Athletics (125). That high Polearm skill means they're going to be incredibly effective at keeping enemies at bay, especially cavalry, with their spears. The Athletics skill is great for their general survivability and movement on the battlefield.

While their Two Handed and Throwing skills are pretty low, and they're not going to be winning any archery contests with their Bow and Crossbow stats, that's not their role. You want them up front, holding the enemy, and letting your other troops do the damage.

Think of them as the shield wall. They're great for plugging gaps in your line, protecting your archers, and generally making life difficult for charging enemies. If you're fighting a lot of cavalry, you'll definitely want a good number of these guys.
