I. Unlock Conditions:

1. Consume a certain number of Commander Tokens;

2. Reach the designated Commander Level.

II. Unit Characteristics

Pike Guard can reduce melee damage taken.

III. Combat Role

Pike Guard is the Tier 2 unit of the Spearman line, inheriting the Spearman's advantage over Cavalry. Upgraded from the Spearman, Pike Guard's main feature is reducing incoming melee damage, improving survivability in small-scale or close-quarters engagements.

Pike Guard is best positioned as a frontline tank in close combat scenarios. As for Commander compatibility, Pike Guard can be efficiently paired with Commanders focused on combat stats or those with notable defense. Utilizing Unit Type counters and optimal troop composition is a key factor for victory.

IV. Commander Recommendations

Yue Yun: Yue Yun has "Excellent" Unit Affinity with Spearman, gaining extra attribute bonuses. His formation skill deals notable Physical Damage and grants Damage Immunity, allowing for both offensive and defensive roles. When his Spearman Troops advance to Pike Guard, their durability is greatly enhanced, making them even more formidable in small-scale battles through survivability and sustained pressure on the Enemy Army.

Lu Zhi: Lu Zhi also has "Excellent" Unit Affinity with Spearman and receives extra Attribute Bonuses. Her formation skill is unique——while most Spearman Commanders focus on Physical Damage, Lu Zhi excels in Magic Damage. In addition, her formation skill has a chance to remove all Buffs from the target enemy after a normal Attack, countering enemies who rely on Buff effects. This makes her particularly effective in small-scale skirmishes, especially in 1v1 duels. With Pike Guard, Lu Zhi's Troops gain additional survivability, which allows for both effective disruption of opponents and self-preservation during battles.
