Parry mechanic
Current Update 2 reporting associates the Rapier line with a new Parry trait. We do not publish a trigger rate, damage reduction, cooldown, or guaranteed interaction until the live unit panel or an official note exposes a stable value.
Counters and matchup expectations
| Likely strengths to test | Risks to test |
|---|---|
| Flanking slow formations, pressuring exposed backlines, contesting open objectives | Braced spears, shield-heavy lines, tight terrain, and being surrounded |
These are tactical test hypotheses based on the reported fast-melee identity—not official counter multipliers.
Evolution and acquisition
Rapier → Rapier Knight is the currently reported evolution line. Exact mastery requirement and cost remain Checking.
Formation partners
Test Rapier Knight beside a durable shield screen and protected ranged pressure. A fourth anti-shield or anti-cavalry slot can cover the matchup that fast melee does not solve. Avoid using an unverified Parry value as a reason to replace a proven frontline.
Verification status
Multiple recent sources name Rapier Knight in the Guild & Ranked update, but at least one major tier-list source initially stated that the update added no new units. The profile is therefore published with conservative labels and no invented numerical stats.
