Polearm
Pikeman
2 star cost - Two independent sources
What it is
The evolved Spearman, with a stronger anti-charge profile and the only second step on the main spear line. The 2026-09-19 balance pass raised spear squad size from 24 to 28.
How to use it
Take it first when the enemy brings cavalry or charges. It upgrades Spearman rather than replacing it, so do not run both lines at once or your star cost collapses.
