Tiny Hero Class Changes (Discount week)

Why on earth would you even play halberdier or zweihander?

Well it's easy to rationalize why to play Zweihander. The survivability factor is so much higher than with Marauder that is not even a question (90+ body armor/70+ head armor). Not to mention you can shield Ragnarok as Zweihander with Royal Shield/Resilience. Also blunt weapons (hwh/stone maul/mjollnir) are the optimal choice behind the shield wall.

For Halberdier the question is a more complex one. In my opinion you should never use other melee weapons than spears with Pikeman in the first place because the advantage of poking behind the cades is too good to pass up. You are not taking valuable slashing positions from other classes if you do this.

So here the Halberdier traits come into play because you can't rely on the shield wall to protect you while you are standing behind the cades. Having more ironflesh and helmet with 57 armor (vs. 50 armor) can be the decisive difference between life and death. It is a matter of playstyle really and how well you dodge. As already discussed Halberdier body armor needs the weight lowered to 15.0-20.0 range and stats boosted about +3-5 all around or giving access of +8 armor gauntlets to Halberdier only.
