== Behavior ==
These enemies often [[Shieldwall (20 fatigue)|shieldwall]] to protect themselves. They use [[Rotation (Skill)|Rotation]] to swap places with a [[Ancient Legionary with Polearm|pikeman]] engaged in melee, if they are not in melee themselves.

== Tips ==

* Fragile, but armored and difficult to hit when shieldwalling.
* Armor piercing weapons kill them through their medium armor, just make sure they do blunt or slashing damage and not actual piercing.
* Have good accuracy to hit them reliably.
* Breaking their shields takes time, but does not require melee skill or Double Grip.
* If [[Taunt (Skill)|taunted]], they can't shieldwall.
* Their weaponry doesn't work well against heavy [[armor]], but will cause early [[morale]] checks on [[Nimble]] brothers because of [[Fearsome]].
* Wait and move two tiles back on your first turn. Wait on the second turn, enemies will approach with no shieldwall. You have two turns in a row to attack them.
* [[Bundle of Throwing Axes|Throwing Axes]] are required for your ranged brothers to be effective.
* [[Heavy Rusty Axe]] kills them in one hit with a [[Traits|trait]] like [[Huge]]. [[Two-Handed Flanged Mace]] does it with [[Killing Frenzy]]. [[Named and Legendary Items|Named]] two-handed weapons can be even better.
