Demesne Spearmen – Conqueror's Blade T2 infantry unit

Overview

Chivalric shield spearmen that can both attack and hold. Their back is the weak spot, always. Costs 2,000 Honour or 20 Signaculum.

Strengths

  • Shield Wall holds a front line
  • Pure Attack hits hard, and at Mastery VIII it deals +50% damage plus an extra strike
  • Turtle protects from all sides
  • Shields up means less ranged damage

Weaknesses

  • Extra damage from behind
  • No ranged or AoE attacks
  • Average speed, tied to cooldowns
  • Pure Attack leaves them without shields

How to Play

  • Pure Attack (about 13s): shields away, charge for heavy piercing damage.
  • Advance (about 10s): shields up, push forward safely.
  • Shield Wall: tight block to the front.
  • Turtle: shields in every direction.
  • Break in with Pure Attack, then switch to Shield Wall and hold.
  • Keep the enemy in front of you. From behind they take extra damage.
