What do you mean, exactly? Do you want to defend yourself with a pike?

Take this advice: switch the pike with a long spear.

Yup, remember to jump backwards if the teammates you were supporting are no longer alive. Jump backwards, thrust, and wiggle.

In general use the Long Spear instead of the Pike.
It is faster, easy to block with and has only slightly shorter range.

Using the Long Spear there is a lot of situations where you can aim for the rider instead of the horse.

When targeting downed cav be sure to wiggle upwards.

Switch target often. Make it look like you are focused on someone else in a cluster fuck and suddenly switch target.

Avoid being alone. Until you are ultra pro, long spears work best with others.

I use a Langes Messer as side arm. It might work with a pike as well, but alas I prefer Long Spear.

My Build:

18/21. 3if, 6ps, 7ath, 7wm, 130 two-handed wpf, 120 polearm wpf.

Rememer that wpf increases damage with your weapon and lowers upkeep heavily. I strongly recommend against going below 120/130 wpf which can be achieved with only 3 points in wm.

If you want to scout someone using pike Long Spear with very good effect find Craftybadger or Bifi, they are among the best with said weapon.
