Skill and battlefield behavior
A spear-and-shield unit designed to absorb pressure and punish mounted charges. 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 Spear Militia when you expect mounted pressure and also want a shielded body for the approach. |
|---|---|
| Formation position | Cover the outside lane between enemy cavalry and your ranged units. |
| Order plan | Hold at the expected charge point instead of pursuing infantry across the map. |
| Closest alternative | Spear Vanguard — 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 |
|---|---|
| Scout Rider, Cavalryman, Lancer, and charge lanes | Sustained ranged fire and limited offensive tempo |
Evolution and unlock path
Spear Militia → Spear Vanguard. No additional evolution is treated as confirmed unless it appears in the live game or an official update.
Best formation partners
Pair Spear Militia with Flaming Archers and Crossbowman. The aim is to cover a different battlefield job: a frontline protects ranged damage, spears discourage cavalry, and mobility punishes exposed backlines.
