Overview

Light infantry roles
Skirmishers fight away from the line with speed and precision.
These classes harass formations, exploit cover, and use mobility or range to disrupt enemy lines before falling back.
Core roleFlank, screen, and punish exposed targets rather than standing in volleys.
TradeoffHigher mobility and accuracy come with weaker close-combat staying power.
Related pagesShooting, Melee, Classes, Traits and Abilities.

The Skirmisher classes are intended to operate away from the lines, and as such do not benefit from any of the buffs one might get from being in the line or in proximity to auxiliary classes. Their effectiveness comes from their speed and deadly accuracy, striking lines with the element of surprise.

Light Infantry

The light infantry classes move with a greater speed than the rest of the player classes, able to outpace lines to reach tactical positions and cause disruption in the enemy lines before moving on. Their most effective firing position is crouched in cover, making them unattractive individual targets for lines. The cost of their lighter gear is a weakness in melee, resulting in less damage dealt and more damage received when engaged in close combat.
