Viking Dual Wielders

Viking Dual Wielders are dangerous melee units that can easily destroy your units. They ignore buildings and instead head straight for your units.

They jump into the air when close to your units and then drop down on them, knocking them back and dealing lots of damage. Once used, this ability recharges and can be used again by them later.

Their launch attack allows them to beat pikes, even if they are ready and in defensive stance. High level infantry or even better archers are the way to deal with them.

Items like mines can be very useful as well.

Appear in groups of 1 to 12.

Strengths

• Perform exceptional against infantry, pikes and archers in melee combat.
• Ignore defensive stance of pikes due to their launch attack.

Weaknesses

• Ranged attacks from archers.
• Mines are especially useful, because Dual Wielders ignore buildings and their walking path to your units can be pre-planned.
