Eternal Unit Spotlight: Wuxing Pikemen (3-Star)02/15/2023
Say hello to my little friends.
Three Seasonal Units inspired by Ancient Chinese legendary heroes are coming to Conqueror’s Blade: Eternal when the update arrives on February 23.
Today, we meet the first of these new Units: Wuxing Pikemen (3-Star).
The Wuxing Pikemen are inspired by the fire lance (or spear), an Ancient Chinese weapon. This bamboo tube and gunpowder combo would ignite to create a fiery explosion and launch a stream of flames at the enemy.
Sometimes known as the "Fire Pike Militia" but more commonly known as the Wuxing Pikemen, this close assault Unit carries the fire pike and comes equipped with scorching skills. Their weapon is designed to cause maximum distress to the enemy at point-blank range and is able to cause burn damage over a wide area. ‘Wuxing’ refers to the "five elements" of classical philosophy: wood, metal, and fire for the Unit's weapons, and earth and water for the mud beneath their relentless marches.

Unit Characteristics:
- Skill [Wuxing Blast] can fire a blast of fragments, which are especially good at damaging densely packed enemies and dealing inflicting bleeding damage.
- Skill [Fiery Blast] will spray flames to set enemies ablaze during the attack, causing continuous fire damage.
- The Wuxing Pikemen do not have a formation which can defend against cavalry, however they do have the [Impeding Force] trait which increases damage dealt to cavalry, and reduces an attacked cavalry unit's movement speed.
- The Wuxing Pikemen have a large number of troops as part of their unit, but due to their civilian-like clothing they have little protection which makes them relatively weak, so it is easy for them to be injured in continuous battles.
