    New Hero Concept (Knights)

    The Spearmen. (or some other name you find worthy of such) Vanguard/hybrid

    Weapon:Foot soldier style spear (shorter then a pike but longer then a Javelin)

    General Apparel: Steel helmet, I imagine a sort of Sallet Style helmet without a lower Jaw protection, I also see Gambeson or a coat of plates Maybe some Various pouches and leather straps for aethetics, Exposed arms (a shirt covering exposed skin) some leathar pants something blah blah, basically Lightly Armored.

    play style: as any spear type weapon the point of the length of the weapon is to keep distance from your attackers and punishing those who dare charge at you.

    Light attacks: Light pokes or making use of the blunt side of the blade and dare I say "Pimp slapping" any Samurai/Viking/holybrotherinarms
    Heavy attacks: strong lunges, Feints well into special moves.

    Specials:2 modes of attack much like the Highlander Normal: being long distance attacks aforementioned above Close quarters: less damage but more speed (grabs the spear in a staff like fashion and bashing pommeling and what not.
    2nd ability: Spear wall, Much like the Aramusha, the Conq, Valkyrie, and Warlord they have a sort of "all block" this move is Similar except he/she holds their ground and awaits for the foe to lung themselves at the Spearmens mercy. This would mean FOR EXAMPLE lets say a pesky shamen just applied bleed to you and she is just Feinting the heckin out of ya tryna get you to mess up and free 2 bar or so of damage. in the Spear wall stance the shamen launched themselves at you and you quickly got into the stance, you would impale said shamen (maybe with a throw to the ground for better measure allowing for a light attack. This stance would work for basically any launching attack or Dash in the direction of the Spearman while in this stance. now it would not work for simply walking into or attacks that cause your Hero to take a few steps forward (such as wardens top heavy)

    Feats: I only can think of one. and ive pondered on this a while.
    Scavenger, Second Teir Feat: Being front line man means you gotta do what you gotta do to survive. When you find a dead enemy you can loot their Corpse and get free a shield from it. the kicker being the shield is dependent on their health pool, A Warlord would give you a full shield while a Peacekeeper would only give your 1/4th of one. (maybe if Ubisoft wanted to for lol reasons they could even add specific armor pieces already in the game to let other players visually know what sort of boost the Spearmen got ex: A Kensei's singular shoulder guard, Or a shugoki Plate, maybe a Naruto headband for dead shinobi's)
