An experienced combatant with a long pointy spear and a short pointy beard. Don't let the grey hair fool you, this is one tough bastard!





Overview

Spear-specialized Vikings that might not have the most best health and armor, but their very long spears compensate for that. Although they are not that well armored compared to Huscarls, these guys are a little faster and they have a larger range with their spear. Experienced Gestirs can also hold their own in battle at range, making use of powerful javelins to dish out large amounts of damage. The biggest advantage is the very long spear, and if used properly enemies will have hard time killing the Gestir.

Weaponry

Spear

GestirSpearNew.png




Longest weapon in the game, which also does good damage and charges pretty fast. If you use this weapon well, Valhalla sure awaits your enemies. Side Attacks are faster, but have a lower Damage Output. When your special bar is filled, press the special button to do forward charge with the spear, but beware the walls as they will cancel your special.

Dmg Charged/N:64/47, Special dmg: 25x5

Forward Interval: 16

String:13


Langeseax & Shield

These are similar to the Huscarl's sword and shield but are stronger in offense but weaker in defense. Used mainly for protection from attackers at range, or getting a good bash and slice combo in.The Langeseax was a tool initially used by the Vikings around camp, but it proved to be a powerful weapon in battle.

Shield Bash Dmg Charged/N: 10/5

Dmg Charged/N: 65/50


Javelins

A perfect way to start a battle, or end it as well, javelins are really powerful. However, they only charge with forward movement, so you have to run at your target before throwing it to achieve maximum damage. Gestir can carry 3 of these with him, althouhg he only spawns with two.

Damage at max dist. (Charged/N): 105/47
