Polearm
Spearman
1 star cost - Two independent sources
What it is
A one-star polearm that hard-counters cavalry. It is the direct answer to Cavalry and Lancer, and the base of the spear line.
How to use it
Bring it when the enemy fields cavalry, Scout Rider or Lancer. Shields and Hammer-type units beat it, so never push it forward alone.
What creators say
Counter table: spears beat cavalry and lose to shields.

Rates Spearman as decent, but says Halberdier comes first.
