Sturgian Recruit: Sturgians

Discover the Sturgian Recruit's skill values in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Learn their strengths and weaknesses to effectively recruit and utilize them in your army.

Alright, let's talk about the Sturgian Recruit in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. These guys are the backbone of the Sturgian infantry, and while they start out a bit rough around the edges, they can turn into some serious fighters.

Here's a breakdown of their starting skill values:

As you can see, they're already pretty decent with their One Handed weapons and have a solid base in Athletics, which is great for any frontline soldier. Their Polearm skill is also respectable, meaning they can hold their own and even dish out some damage in a tight formation. However, don't expect them to be archers or cavalry anytime soon – their Bow, Crossbow, and Riding skills are pretty much non-existent at this stage. They do have a bit of Throwing skill, which can be handy in a pinch.

Think of the Sturgian Recruit as your basic infantry starter. You'll want to focus on leveling up their One Handed and Polearm skills as they progress through the Sturgian tree. They're best used in a shield wall, holding the line while your more specialized troops do the heavy lifting. Don't try to make them into skirmishers or mounted units; stick to their strengths!
