The Meteor Hammer also has a range of five, but still deals hand damage, making it strong for ranged support in crowded fights. It is trained in the Forbidden Army with Iron Flails, making it a very powerful cavalry army. Combining these two with Beiyang Army provides strong raiding potential against settlers, skimishers, archers, artillery, and heavy cavalry. Adding the Territorial or Old Han Armies to these makes a good force with counters that provide against any type of enemy unit you might face.
