- For its much powerful counterpart, see Veteran Spearman.
The Spearman is a melee attacker that is ideal for both offense and defense against cheap units such as crossbowmen, bowmen and other spearmen. Aside from very fast travel and recruitment speed, it is the cheapest unit to recruit in the game and also one of the soldiers to have a dummy variant. It can also be obtained by completing missions from the mercenary post and collecting a daily registration gift on its fifth day.
Additionally, players can upgrade it to its veteran counterpart by researching the Veteran Spearman at the research tower. Although, it cannot revert back to its base form once done.
Low Level Recruitment[]
In the game, there is a feature where only those who are at lower levels can recruit this unit much faster than intended. Below shows the list of the following. Keep in mind that the player's level is linked to how fast this unit can be produced.
Level required | Build time (hh:mm:ss) |
---|---|
