Line 60:
With the nation in shambles, many exiles fled with the [[Leuvis George Krieger|Old King]] to the [[Coldfront]] Icebergs, where they made small communities. As they weren't integrated as a culture within the [[Arcadian Altanate|Arcadian Altenate]], only when [[Eldia]] broke free, did the Cresvlitsin reuse the Battle Hoes, specifically the 3rd Generation ones. As [[Eldia|Eldian]] State reorganized themselves, the Cresvlitsin created the C.B.E.C. (The Cresvlitsin Battle Engineer Core), support companies and units, made for defense, being able to build defenses, forts, and other necessary field buildings in hours/days. They were mostly made up of former Cresvlitsin soldiers or reserve personnel, and they act as the main defense force of [[Eldia]]. The "Valerian" Doctrine is preserved, just slightly changed due to the more harsher terrain of [[Eldia]], however the "Hrebenčuk" Doctrine suffered massive changes, as the Cresvlitsin acted in attack as storm-troops, using their massive knowledge of defense to break through their opponents.

== In Combat ==
As the Doctrines provide an overall take on how the Battle Hoes are used, in CQC they are special. They act as Quarterstaffs, however, due to their heads, they have some small differences. The basic attack pattern is the same as plowing the land, delivering a lethal blow directly to the head, in most situations piercing through helmets. If countered, the general consensus is, that due to the piercing capabilities of the Battle Hoes, managing to land a hit with the head could result into lethality. This knowledge is combined with Quarterstaff moves and combos to throw the enemy off balance, and/or open a hole in the opponents defense
== Variations ==
=== Double Handed Battle Hoe ===
Not rare sight on the battlefield, these elongated hoes, proved to be effective in the hands of capable soldiers. Wielded with no shield, these battle hoes were perfect in the hands of nimble/agile warriors who could deflect blows easily. In duels they were considered long-range weapons, being on the same levels as The Spear and The Halberd.[[File:CBEC Recruitment Poster Alternate.png|thumb|532x532px|CBEC Recruitment Poster (drawn by [[Dragoooooooon]])]]
=== One Handed Battle Hoe ===
Line 110 ⟶ 112:
=== Engineer Battle Hoe ===
Smaller than a Double Handed Battle Hoe, bigger than a One Handed Battle Hoe, used by battle engineers. These Battle Hoes are exceptional tools at digging and creating dug outs, while also being exceptional at plowing. They rarely find usage in offensive battles, but in defensive they are nearly abused. In Duels they are only used accompanied by another weapon.
=== Ceremonial Battle Hoe ===
A Double Handed Battle Hoe, made out of gold, exclusively used for ceremonial purposes. They are still sharp and usable in combat, however they never have been used as such. They are generally given to Generals, High Position Individuals, Heroes or as gifts from the Kingdom. They were never used in duels

==== The Maltrov Model Battle Hoe ====
A Gen. 2 Battle Hoe, intended to be sold on the world market. Scrapped due to it removing many of the improvements of the Gen. 2 Battle Hoes and completely flopping.

==== The Gen. 4 Battle Hoe ====
Line 132 ⟶ 133:
== The Legendary Battle Hoes ==
Legendary Battle Hoes are one of a kind Battle Hoes, who have seen usage, and are regarded as artifacts, due to their special abilities and weirdness. Most of them are considered myths by the average commoners, while some do exist, however it's unknown where most of them are, currently.
=== "Krause" ===
The Gen. 1 Battle Hoe once held by Reikard Yurinkov, leader of the Socialist Army, who stood against the Cresvlitsin Army, it's extremely sturdy and capable. This is considered by many to be the first Battle Hoe ever created, and it lives to its name. In the first hours of the Battle of Cresvlits, this Battle Hoe alone killed 20 elite troopers, all of them sent to kill Reikard specifically. However, somewhere down the line, Reikard lost the Hoe, and his Army was forced to retreat causing his death. The Battle Hoe was soon retrieved, and now sits in a dusty storage room somewhere in [[Coldfront]].
=== "Staindall" ===
A Gen. 3 Battle Hoe created by Armand Staindall, its head is coated in coal, it basing its main attack on a chemical reaction, igniting the coal, burning the person who the Battle Hoe struck alive. Barbaric, but effective, the Battle Hoe saw combat only in testing, and was at one point held at ceremonies by Armand. Dangerous, at some point it was put in a secure vault in Donslau. It, however was taken out and used to protect the initial refugees fleeing Donslau for Coldfront, and ever since the "Staindall" Battle Hoe was lost to time.
