Skills
No Mercy
The Spartans swing their shields and thrust fiercely at the enemy, dealing high damage, and then regroup in formation at the same spot. Hitting or killing enemies during the skill quickly builds momentum.
Spartan Vengeance
After activation, the Spartan Chosen enter a counterattack state. In this state, they advance with rhythmic thrusts, knocking back enemies. Recasting the skill within a specified time will trigger a shield strike, knocking down enemies. After the advance ends, they leap and perform a heavy thrust, dealing high damage. Each successful shield strike boosts the final jump thrust damage by 50%.
Formations
Dispersed
The unit forms a spread-out square formation to lessen the impact of ranged attacks.
Shield
Soldiers stand in a tight defensive formation, countering frontal attacks. Enhances impact resistance.
Schiltron
The unit forms a ring to defend anything in the centre.

Guide
Counters
- Loses to: Huge burst DMG such as iron reapers or claymores or orochi
- Struggles vs: Any units with high minimum DMG
- This unit counters: Big braced blob, you will open for your team to push-in
Playstyle
- Frontline unit
- Press 1 (No Mercy): same as the grandpa one, redirects them to where you’re facing and stabs in front. Each stab heals 5% HP
- Press 2: similar to an Imperial Pikes Advance, but you have to re-press 2 during the advance to stab with your shield. At the 3rd press 2 (end of it), your unit jumps forward and stabs for big dmg
- Main trait (Oath of Unity): for 5s after using a spell, every damage taken is spread through the whole unit (and reduced to 70%, so 30% dmg reduction)
- Play around your cooldowns, never hesitate to redirect and replace yourself before pressing 2, also don’t hesitate to activate CCi and X-move back if going too deep
Doctrines
Highest level you can.
Mandatory
- Epic Spear Doctrine VI (CCi)
- Awareness Doctrine V (20% rear atk reduction, -500 cav dmg)
Top Pick
- Block Doctrine V (+300 block, -90 flat dmg taken)
- Unit Damage Doctrine V
Filler
- Spartan Chosen: Mountain Crusher (Spartan Vengeance +15% block-break & dmg)
- DMG Reduction Doctrines
Don’t put
- Block only doctrines
CCi may be important after the nerf since you need to reposition WAY more often (the +40% dmg in the back should scare you). If you don’t need the leadership doctrine, take more tank or dmg like Unit Damage Doctrine V or Steadfast Doctrine V.
Example Build
- Epic Spear Doctrine VI (CCi) / Steadfast Doctrine V (+130 def, -6% dmg taken)
- Awareness Doctrine V (20% rear atk reduction, -500 cav dmg)
- Block Doctrine V (+300 block, -90 flat dmg taken)
- Unit Damage Doctrine V / Spartan Chosen: Mountain Crusher (Spartan Vengeance +15% block-break & dmg)
- Epic Leadership Doctrine
Tips & Tricks
- Alt build: you can go Top line + Unit Damage Doctrine if you really know what you’re doing and want more stats. Not recommended. If you’re confident enough to try it, you don’t need a guide.
- Never hesitate to redirect and replace yourself before pressing 2, also don’t hesitate to activate CCi and X-move back if going too deep.
