Pike · 15 SOLDIERS Warriors of the Kinn-lai Strong vs. Cavalry and Heroes
Able to switch formation for improved defensive capabilities
Out of all the various Avari tribes that lingered in the East, the Kinn-lai were the most numerous and militaristic. Though their capital was situated far to the north-east, they sometimes dwelled near the Sea of Rhûn. It was trade and the existence of mutual enemies that engendered them with the Sindar-lord of the Woodland Realm.

Weapons & attack range Damage is per hit, before target armor. Different projectile upgrades are shown separately. Attack timing can also depend on animation; these values are not a DPS estimate.

Range ⓘ Maximum attack distance in game units. Melee weapons have short ranges; archers can attack from farther away. 30 Pre-attack ⓘ Delay before the attack is released, in milliseconds (1,000 ms = 1 second). When it applies depends on the weapon and animation. 600 ms Shot delay ⓘ Configured delay between attacks, in milliseconds. This applies to melee swings too. Animation and reload timing can also affect the actual attack rate. 1,000 ms Clip ⓘ Attacks per reload cycle, not total ammunition. Not specified means the weapon definition does not set a clip size; this is common for melee weapons. Not specified
