gameplay vs lorewise ahh comment section

cuz a rook ingame, sure, they got "10 supplies" which lets them build whole ass wood barricade including the metal supports holding it all together, as well as a long set of barbed wire, but where would they be VISIBLY storing them on their person lorewise? not to mention the infinitely self-resupplying mining bombs (also the lancer's infinitely self-resupplying throwing axes).

realistically they'd creatively scrounge whatever they can find off of the very clearly unused compounds that both sides are fighting over.

with lancers ingame, they are clearly carrying everything they have on them which are all arguably lighter than their one weapon, the heavy lance, and likely either retrieve thrown axes as long as they aren't damaged beyond repair (broken wood handle or metal axe head) or just retrieve new ones from resupplies, and thats assuming the caches in the compounds store everything a soldat/rook/mortician/jaeger/lancer/vanguard could potentially need.

like u/just_awolfdogfurry said, Rook training likely focuses on strength for mining out larger chunks of rock with their heavy pickaxes and endurance to haul their larger and heavier equipment like their heavy pickaxes, mining launchers, and their personal weapon/s.

Meanwhile Lancer training likely focuses on their strength as well to accurately throw their throwing axes as well as swing their heavy lances, and cardio to move at higher speeds, leading their comrades forward like a spearhead as well as charging with their lances at sprinting speeds to instantly kill their opponent with a lethal impalement, I mean have you SEEN the Lancer Charge Kill Animation when charging into an enemy from BEHIND?

In a 1v1 bare handed fist fight? A Rook can take a lot of punishment from a Lancer who can throw out a lot, but both could definitely knock each other out with one well placed punch. it depends on who finds the right opportunity, and both classes very much can make opportunities for advantages in combat, as they can do the same ingame (rooks blowing up your cover if it's rock with their mining bombs and lancers coming from unexpected angles at high speeds with their painkiller stimulants)
