How WEIRD Is The Banner Knight? Bannerlord Cavalry troop Units Guide

the banner knight is the second cavalry option of vladia many players think of this troop as being the best government in calradia not only that but this unit is the peak of the vlandian noble line those units reach one t higher than standard troops and can only be recruited in castle villages or converted from mountain bandits other than that they tend to generally have better gear than standard troops and way better weapon skill the banner knight brings 221 ended 90 more points in standard 260 polar 130 more points than standard and 200 riding 70 more points than most tier v as you might know by this point cavalry in this game doesn't have it easy and in order for a cavalry unit like the banner knight to perform well heavy armor will be required the knight's role is to flank and shock the opponent either by dismounting or not for cavalry i think the first thing to cover is not their lance but their general armor instead in the case of the knight it brings a solid 50 at armor brought by the full elm over male coiff despite the value being very good this only ranks the knight tied in 5th place among cavalry units and 11th overall the body armor is another solid 53 combined between the brigand in other male and the cooler hoodie also known as the green hood this will rank the knights in another fifth place among cavalry and 14th overall when it comes to the horse embodying the knight rides a vlanian cursor protected by a reinforced chainmail barding that brings 64 horse armor as we said in the vanguard video the horse is quite balanced nothing sticks out as a huge negative or positive while the burning they wear will be enough to place the banner knights in second place when considering at plus body the knights ranked fourth with a value of 103 and they keep the same position when considering all armor types of the armor out of the way let's talk about the equipment the main weapon of the knight is the knight lance it has 83 trans speed not too bad the length is 184 decent length for lance the base damage is 37 and it can count too the polar muscle right and it's the same as the wenger although if you know how trusting spears work in bundler do you know they are generally bad weapons talking about the shield the knight brings a reinforced cavalry kite it has 430 hp and a length of just 78 cavalry tends to have way smaller shield than infantry but this is way better than others we've seen for close quarter combat the knights have three different templates each one with a different weapon two of which are very good and one who isn't all that grey starting from the good ones we have the full red maze and the spiked battle axe those weapons are good for similar reasons as they are both short and fast while being able of delivering a decent enough base damage the length unfortunately makes them a bit trickier to use on horseback but you're going to see why they're good later if you're thinking that for once darter wasn't going to save money on his units let me present to you the rich arming sword a menacing cheap and reliable one-ended weapon that brings 86 swing speed 76 base damage and a whopping 113 length best weapon this unit has to offer no it sucks um it's the worst they bring it's low for a one ended and too long the damage doesn't even transfer all their well too now that we have done the equipment let's see where these units rank the cross cavalry units hopefully we don't need to chop another vlanian unit when considering the efficiency against archers the knights finish fourth across cavalry with two third places and two fourth places they finish with a kd of 4.77 and the kd of 119.04 against low tiers the knights lost 15.14 of their units and their average casualty chance against low tiers was 1.6 when considering efficiency against spearman the knights finished sixth among cavalry with one fifth place and three six places with an average hkd of 6.77 and the kd versus low of 144.01 the knights lost 13.1 percent of their units and ended with an average casualty chance against low tiers of 2.87 and finally when considering the melee efficiency the knights rank first among cavalry with three first places and one second place with an average kd of 9.04 best kd across all the 30 plus tested units and the kd against low of 218.57 third best across all units the knights ended up losing 17.48 of their units and averagely 1.24 casualty chance versus low tiers surprisingly enough it looks like our beloved banner knights are far better infantryman than cavalry anyway let's list the pros and cons the general armor is very good the ursa armor is also a huge plans they carry no throwables making them a bit one-dimensional they carry two good sidearms and the bad one their melee performance is not only the best out of all cover units but ranks in the top 3 across all units this opens up for a dismount strategy and where you flank the opponent this bound and it from the side they are good in sieges the shield is good for cavalry and most of the line is wild armor my final score is a four and a half out of five at last this blundian analysis ends on a sweet note with the banner knights making a name for themselves among the best troops in the game you can dismount these guys and use them as infantry instead over the surgeons and you can keep some to use as cavalry over the vanguards only issue with these bad boys is that they have no range option and despite being a nice pure lancing option they are far from the best performers in the area we can argue a 5 out of 5 should be the vote but considering all of these and the fact that they are a noble troop i think a four and a half is more than justified anyway naruto thinks you're going to be interested in the video on your left next thank you so much for reaching 500 subs
