The KhuzaitвЂ™s only infantry unit, the Darkhan, is the best spearman in the game. The Empire also has a really good archer unit and the best cavalry unit in the game making them a great choice to build your army from. Look for the base Imperial Recruit, Infantryman, or Train Infantryman, or Veteran Infantryman when recruiting troops in the Empire region. You can get the Imperial Legionary by recruiting any of their lower-level versions in Empire villages or towns. They also have strong shields to block any arrows as they charge into battle. Imperial legionaries come with a devastating one-handed weapon and a spear, however, they will prefer to use their sword instead. This is not a special unit like the above and can be easily farmed to have a massive army composed of them. The best infantry unit in Bannerlord that isnвЂ™t technically considered a spearman is the Imperial Legionary. The Vilga Recruit is the only unit in this tree that is on foot, but they can definitely hold their own against other tier I or even tier II troops. Look for the Vilga Recruit, Equite, Heavy Horseman, or Cataphract when recruiting troops in the Battanian home region. You can get the Imperial Elite Cataphract by recruiting any of their lower-level versions in Empire villages or towns. These units last long in a fight and can dish out a ton of damage when they mass up and charge. The EmpireвЂ™s special cavalry unit has the best polearm to match itвЂ™s impressive 280 skill level and a great one-handed weapon to match.

When it comes to the best cavalry unit in Bannerlord, the Imperial Elite Cataphract is the best.

If you have the disciplinarian perk from the Leadership skill tree, you can upgrade forest bandits to the Fian Champion as well. We also advise you to keep your existing units out of harmвЂ™s way and never simulate battles as the AI is quite bad and you will lose them. If you want to mass these units, we suggest building relations with Battanian villages and towns so that you can buy more units. Since this is a special unit for the Battanian faction, they are quite rare. Look for Highborn Youth, Highborn Warrior, Hero, or Fian when recruiting troops in the Battanian home region. You can get the Fian Champion by recruiting any of their lower-level versions in Battanian villages or towns.

If they do have to fight with a sword, they pull out a massive two-handed sword that they are also quite deadly with, but itвЂ™s best to defend them and let them use their bows instead. They are particularly useful against factions that rely heavily on footmen such as the Sturgians or the Empire since their forces will be forced to charge you or theyвЂ™ll risk taking heavy losses as your Fian Champions assault them from above. If you can manage to get a small group of these together in your army and put them on high ground during a fight, they will constantly rain deadly arrows down on your enemies. The special unit for the Battanian faction, the Fian Champion outranges almost every single unit in the game and is insanely accurate.

The best archer unit in Bannerlord is hands down the Battanian Fian Champion.
