Double damage to riders and flyers, can hit air.
How to use
The main answer to riders and air: it deals double damage to them and is the only melee unit that reaches flyers. With 178 health and armor 3, spearmen are great in the front line when the enemy has knights, wolves, bone riders, dragons and wyverns.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strong against: knights, wolves, bone riders, gryphons, wyverns, dragons.
- Danger: area magic and siege projectiles; they are slow (speed 36).
- Works well with: the standard-bearer (speeds up attacks) and archers behind.
