The pike is an exceptionally long pole weapon designed for formation combat and battlefield control. Measuring several yards in length, it consists of a straight wooden shaft tipped with a narrow, hardened steel point, allowing infantry to threaten enemies well beyond the reach of swords or axes.
In combat, the pike is used to stop charges and dominate open ground. When wielded in disciplined ranks, overlapping pikes create a deadly wall of points capable of halting cavalry and breaking advancing formations. Individually, the weapon requires strength and coordination, as its length makes it unwieldy in close quarters.
Favored by trained infantry and militias, the pike is a weapon of cooperation and order. Simple in design yet terrifying in use, it turns unity, reach, and discipline into overwhelming
