Skill and battlefield behavior
The Spearman evolution improves the same anti-cavalry job with stronger reach and staying power. 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.
Counters and matchups
| Favorable into | Watch out for |
|---|---|
| Mounted charges and narrow lanes | Ranged damage and low-value matchups without cavalry |
Evolution and unlock path
Spearman → Pikeman. Evolution requires Mastery Level 20 according to current roster references. Check the live evolution screen before spending resources because costs and requirements can change.
Best formation partners
Pair Pikeman with Longbowman and Crossbowman. The aim is to cover a different battlefield job: a frontline protects ranged damage, spears discourage cavalry, and mobility punishes exposed backlines.
Verification status
Evolution path is listed in the current official game description.
