Kriegsbruders are a heroic era melee cavalry unit.
In-Game Description[]
Kriegsbruders form the armoured fist of the army when the Order goes to war - their heavy armour, shields and longswords let them get stuck in to a melee, rather than the charge-retreat- charge tactic of knights armed with lances. Kriegsbruders ("brothers of war") are so named to distinguish them from their clerical brethren (the "brothers of faith"), who deal with the nonviolent side of the Order, such as spiritual and pastoral care, administering the farms and monasteries, and counting the money.
Acquisition[]
Kriegsbruders can be unlocked via the Season XVII: Knightfall seasonal challenges. As the season's heroic era unit, Kriegsbruders require the Schutzdieners to be unlocked (i.e. stage 2 of the Schutzdieners seasonal challenges completed) before progress can be made on their seasonal challenges.
