Knight's Spear
The Knight’s Spear is the best pike, 10 damage a thrust. Pikes are for your zombie squads only; you cannot fight with one yourself. A zombie fights when it holds a pike or a bow and wears armor, and the Impaler zombie talent adds 2 to its pike damage (see Combat). You make it at the Steel Anvil from 4 Sticks, 2 Steel Details and a Steel Ingot, with Smithing mastery 11, after Steel Weapons (160 red, 10 blue).
The town Smithy sells one a week at its third tier, for 100 silver. The mercenaries’ pikemen carry it after their second upgrade.
