Skill and battlefield behavior
High block damage makes this the dedicated answer to shield-heavy formations. This is a role description rather than an invented numeric stat card; the current in-game unit panel remains the source of truth for damage, health, speed, block health, and range.
Editorial field plan
| Pick when | Choose Mace when the opposing army relies on Spartan, Sentinel, Imperial Wall, or another shield-heavy core. |
|---|---|
| Formation position | Run it just behind your first contact unit so it reaches blocks without absorbing the opening volley. |
| Order plan | Follow the screen into range, then Attack the shield line instead of chasing mobile targets. |
| Closest alternative | Halberder — compare this option when the map, Star Limit, or matchup changes. |
Why this is editorial: The field plan translates the verified role and counter information into a practical decision. It is our recommendation, not an official hidden stat or guaranteed matchup result.
Counters and matchups
| Favorable into | Watch out for |
|---|---|
| Shieldman, Sentinel, Imperial Wall, and Spartan-style blocks | Kiting, ranged focus, and faster melee pressure |
Evolution and unlock path
No evolution path confirmed. No additional evolution is treated as confirmed unless it appears in the live game or an official update.
Best formation partners
Pair Mace with Spartan and Longbowman. The aim is to cover a different battlefield job: a frontline protects ranged damage, spears discourage cavalry, and mobility punishes exposed backlines.
Verification status
Update 1 role is corroborated; exact damage values remain live-game data.
