== Behavior==
Footmen are frontline units, dedicated to defending more vulnerable [[Billman|Billmen]] and [[Arbalester|Arbalesters]]. They often use [[Shieldwall (20 fatigue)|Shieldwall]] to improve their own survivability, and can [[Rotation (Skill)|Rotate]] with allies to save them from danger.

==Tips ==

*Low priority targets, but often the only available.
*They mostly rely on melee defense, which comes from their shield. Have good accuracy to hit them reliably.
*Armor piercing weapons kill them faster through their medium armor.
*Breaking their shields takes time, but does not require melee skill or Double Grip.
*Attack Footmen with [[Heater Shield|Heater Shields]] with ranged weapons, and those with [[Kite Shield|Kite Shields]] with melee weapons.
*When fighting on your side, they can [[Rotation (Skill)|rotate]] you into dangerous positions.
*[[Taunt (Skill)|Taunt]] prevents them from shieldwalling, and forced movement cancels it.
