Dwarven Phalanx

&nbsp When Dwarves march to war, it is often against foes such as Trolls and Wargs. These foes are all best dealt with at a distance, and the pike is the best solution for delivering strength beyond arm's reach. Aragorn finds one such Dwarven pike near Balin's tomb and, with it, is able to fend off a cave troll for a few moments on his own. The Dwarves Pikeman is seldom this foolhardy, so he typically is part of a close rank-and-file formation known as a Phalanx. A Phalanx is able to withstand direct charge by cavalry and can bring down giant brutes with a minimum of casualties.
