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 We do not publish a trigger rate, damage reduction, cooldown, or guaranteed interaction until the live unit panel or an official note exposes a stable value.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 is reported as the base unit that evolves into Rapier Knight. Exact summon source, chance, mastery requirement, and cost remain Checking.
Formation partners
Test Rapier 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 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.
