II. Unit Characteristics

The Serpent Spearman offers multiple advantages, including increased Attack range, enhanced Damage Increase, and stronger counter-effect against Cavalry units.

 

III. Combat Role

Serpent Spearman is a third-tier unit in the Spearman branch and follows the traditional Spearman-over-Cavalry counter relationship. Compared to second-tier units like Pike Guard and Pikeman, the Serpent Spearman boasts additional features.

With an extended Attack range, they can strike enemies from a distance in battles. This makes them especially valuable in Siege battles or large-scale PvP scenarios, where friendly and enemy troops are densely packed. The increased Attack range allows Serpent Spearman to be deployed behind the front line, delivering damage while minimizing risk.

Moreover, their Damage Increase and enhanced Cavalry counter-effect provide significant tactical value. Cavalry units typically threaten backline units with high mobility, but Serpent Spearman can effectively check Cavalry while dealing higher damage. Placing Serpent Spearman near Archers can help block enemy Cavalry raids.

Smart unit composition and proper use of counter relationships between units are crucial strategies for victory in Order of Kings.

 

IV. Commander Recommendations

Sun Wu: Sun Wu rates "Excellent" for Spearman Unit Affinity, granting additional stat boosts. His formation Skill deals higher damage against countered unit types. When commanding Serpent Spearman, Sun Wu's troops deal significantly more damage to Cavalry units. In large-scale PvP, it's recommended to position Sun Wu's Serpent Spearman slightly behind the frontline, as their increased Attack range lets Sun Wu both defend the front and protect backline Archers.

Yue Fei: Yue Fei also has "Excellent" Spearman Unit Affinity and enjoys bonus stats. His formation Skill may trigger extra Physical Damage after normal Attacks and reduces enemy Rage. With Serpent Spearman, Yue Fei's damage against Cavalry is further enhanced, while their extended range and increased damage allow Yue Fei to adjust position flexibly and keep striking enemy forces.
