Part Artwork
Background
Overview
The Spiker uses hydraulic ram pistons to propel an armoured spike into the enemy Mech at close quarters. It is simple, but highly effective weapon, when used in skilled hands (and even in less, but lucky, skilled hands).
The Spiker itself takes a little skill to use effectively, as even a few degrees of deflection will result in a missed strike or a glancing blow.
Usage
The Spiker sees heavy use in ceremonial fights between Raglorian gentry as the weapon is seen as a highly noble weapon in their eyes. However, amongst other, more practical Mech Pilots, a Spiker is an effective mining tool, allowing for quick but powerful jabs into rock whilst mining to weaken or even break apart rock faces to expose the rich ore seams beyond.
