== General Tactics and Info ==
== General Tactics and Info ==
Although not mentioned in the game or manual, both Pikemen and Halberdiers are immune to [[Cavalier and Champion|Cavaliers' and Champions']] [[jousting]] ability. This means they suffer damage from Cavaliers or Champions normally, but do not receive the additional damage from jousting bonus if Cavaliers or Champions attack from the distance.
They are critical in the early game, together with the [[Griffin and Royal Griffin|Griffins]], due to them being almost the only Castle ranged attackers, having good damage and also the marksmen's twice shot. However, with each ranged attack in a turn, the Marksmen will use up two shots, not one.
