Updated 1 November 2026
My take: S tier
Overview
The front line that refuses to die. Every skill you press makes the whole unit share incoming damage for 5 seconds and take 30% less. Keep that window up and they hold almost anything.
Strengths
- Shared damage and 30% less damage for 5 seconds after every skill
- Spartan Vengeance heals 5% per stab
- Divine Wrath: the shield bash knocks back, the leap is the burst
Weaknesses
- Helpless while both skills are on cooldown
- Needs attention the whole fight
- Ranged units can kite them
How to Play
- Never walk in without a skill ready. The 5-second window only starts when you press one.
- Open with 2 (Divine Wrath). Face the right way first, then press it three times: advance, shield bash, leap. The leap is the big hit.
- When the window runs out, press 1 (Spartan Vengeance). Each stab heals 5% and restarts the window.
- Keep alternating. Don't burn both at once.
- Both on cooldown? Pull back. That's when they melt.
