Once they start taking damage many of them will just run away and the line breaks your backline gets exposed. This makes them great in the late game but I find them to be a poor frontline in the early game and they do a decent job in the mid game but until you get gold swordsmen they have a large weakness which is low morale. Swordsmen are the frontline tanks of humans, they scale well compared to most units.

Tier 12: Elite Fitness Training – more heal +%, leads to Regroup same as swordsmen.Tier 11: Lethality – Increase the critical strike chance of spearmen by +%, this research leads to Heavy Blows, which increases the critical strike damage of spearmen by 40% (spearmen will deal 40% more damage on a crit).Tier 10: Advanced Convalescence – more reduced healing time, leads to the same reduced heal time for garrison troops for a total of 100% reduced heal time.Tier 9: Elite Combat Training – More +% damage, leads to +20% damage research, get this.Tier 8: Training Discipline - same as swordsmen reduce the cost to produce spearmen, leads to brutal efficiency same as swordsmen where it reduces the mithril cost by 20%.Tier 7: Garrison Training – same as swordsmen provides a bonus to health and damage for the spearmen when they are on garrison duty.Tier 6: Advanced Fitness Training – more +% health, leads to bloodlust same as swordsmen, provides a 30% damage bonus during morale.Also leads to the same garrison healing time bonus, except this time it is for spearmen. Tier 5: Convalescence – same as swordsmen, reduced heal time.Tier 4: Basic Fitness Training – Bonus +% health, leads to Gold Swordsmen.This research leads to Heightened Reflexes which gives spearmen a 10% dodge chance. Tier 3: Survival Training – provides a % of damage reduction to spearmen, this research is good it helps spearmen do their job as a frontline unit which they would sometimes fail to do so in the past.This research leads to Savage Thrusts, this ability causes all attacks dealt by the spearmen units to make the enemy take an additional 30% damage from all sources. Tier 2: Combat Training – increases the damage of spearmen units by a flat amount.Tier 1: Fitness Training – increase the health of spearmen units by a flat amount.Research upgrades unlock for the spearmen at academy level 1 any melee normal sized unit, such as dwarf engineers and Swordsmen They are also very strong against any unit that is size Large or Giant, such as scorpions or mechsuits.ĭwarf Mech suits do decent against spearmen, but the spearmen also kill mechs quickly so it’s not a strong counter. Spearmen do very well against Cavalry, they are literally the best counter to Cavalry. For these reasons, I find spearmen out preform swordsmen in every situation that isn't the gold swordsmen + virion ultimate skill combo. they also have a decent scaling per rank. they also have slightly longer melee range than swordsmen. Spearmen at silver tier or higher have a ranged stun spear toss which pushes foes back which is great to group enemies up for hero skills. Spearmen Counters any large unit and giant unit. This means if you play human well you will almost always win but if you play poorly you will be met by crushing defeat after crushing defeat. Many of their unit’s counter other types of units but fare poorly against others. When playing human, you are playing a game of rock paper scissors with them. Human is the default race for every player.
