SEASON VIII SPOTLIGHT: PIKE (NEW WEAPON CLASS)

Season VIII: Dynasty?will introduce a new weapon class: the Pike. It will be the first addition to the player arsenal since the Maul in Season III, and will bring the total number of hero weapon classes in the game to a satisfying twelve!?

第八季：王朝將引入一個(gè)新的武器類別：長(zhǎng)槍。 這將是自第三季大槌以來(lái)首次加入玩家武器庫(kù)，并將使游戲中的英雄武器類別總數(shù)達(dá)到令人滿意的 12 個(gè)！

The pike is one of the most important defensive weapons in the entire history of warfare. Evolved from the humble spear to better deter cavalry units with their heavier, shorter lances (which also evolved from the spear, of course), the pike and its many variants became as ubiquitous across the ancient battlefields of Greece and Rome as during the wars of the Renaissance almost 2,000 years later, when mass-produced firearms finally made the weapon untenable.

長(zhǎng)矛是整個(gè)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)史上最重要的防御武器之一。 從簡(jiǎn)陋的長(zhǎng)矛演變而來(lái)，以更重、更短的長(zhǎng)矛（當(dāng)然也是從長(zhǎng)矛演變而來(lái)）更好地威懾騎兵部隊(duì)，長(zhǎng)矛及其許多變種在希臘和羅馬的古代戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上變得無(wú)處不在，就像在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間一樣。 近 2000 年后的文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期，大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)的槍械終于使這種武器站不住腳。

Warriors of the Qian Dynasty, the new faction joining the game in Season VIII, wield the Pike in tribute to the stories of a mighty general who, outnumbered in the face of many foes, cut his hair and hid within a monastery to escape his pursuers. While in hiding, he studied the monks’ mantras and became a skilled martial artist, melding their quarterstaff techniques with military weaponry to create a unique spear style.

第八季加入游戲的新派系錢(qián)朝勇士揮舞長(zhǎng)槍，向一位強(qiáng)大的將軍致敬的故事 . 在隱居期間，他研究僧侶的咒語(yǔ)，成為一名熟練的武術(shù)家，將他們的四肢技術(shù)與軍事武器相結(jié)合，創(chuàng)造出獨(dú)特的槍式。

In-game, the pike is already well established as the weapon of choice for some of the most effective and versatile units in the game. For the dedicated hero looking to specialise in the Pike when it becomes available, it will remain a weapon of immense reach, able to keep attackers at bay like no other. However, it will also be a weapon that demands respect - as much from those utilising it as those that face it, with a selection of skills aimed to compliment well-timed attacks to create powerful combos.

在游戲中，長(zhǎng)槍已經(jīng)成為游戲中一些最有效和最通用的單位的首選武器。 對(duì)于那些希望在長(zhǎng)槍可用時(shí)專攻的英雄來(lái)說(shuō)，它仍然是一種具有巨大影響力的武器，能夠像其他人一樣將攻擊者拒之門(mén)外。 然而，它也將是一種需要尊重的武器——無(wú)論是使用它的人還是面對(duì)它的人，都有一系列旨在補(bǔ)充適時(shí)攻擊以創(chuàng)造強(qiáng)大組合的技能。

We will have a full guide to the new Pike class, including a rundown of its traits and abilities, soon after the weapon is deployed as part of Season VIII. More soon!

在武器作為第 VIII 賽季的一部分部署后不久，我們將提供新派克類的完整指南，包括其特性和能力的概述。 很快！
