Hi,
the Glaive has 2 legs.
The Fencer has six wheels and a 1000 PS Multi-fuel engine.
Why is the Glaive more quickly as the Fencer?

Where did you find this info, and what does PS stand for?
But in all seriousness, I'm sure speed is based on balance considerations, rather than unit lore/background info.

Number of wheels doesn't equate to speed anyways. Its usually heavy trucks that have a bazillion wheels.

quantity of wheels = speed seems like a solid new direction for ZK, awaiting fork

Isn't it obvious?
Fencer: "one, two, three, four, five... what comes after five? er... six! Six!"
Glaive: "one-two, one-two, one-two!"
Glaives have to do less thinking, so they can concentrate on moving faster. This is why we don't have Centipede units!

There is rumors that glaive uses amphetamine and they have leg day at least two time in week.
Fencer six wheel is not for speed but for all terrain purposes like heavy tank tracks. Of course that stuff doesn't work in such complicated game environment so some dbags can stop entire heavy and light tank army in no time with sand piles.

The solution to this question is that Glaive leg count should be buffed. But keep in mind that balance changes have to be gentle so don't just add a third leg, make it 2.1 or maybe 2.15 if it's still slow.
