Bandit Spearmen is a Tier 2 () Unit of the Bandit faction. This common card was released with the Amii Edition and has 2 affinity variants, Fire and Frost, but not a promo version.
In Skylords Reborn the Frost affinity is available to all players as a starter card. Bandit Spearmen are ragged cousins to the Spearmen, with a similar ability. But their capacity of damage far exceeds their lesser brethren.

Abilities

Blessed Partisans Activate to make the unit deal 30% / 35% / 40% / 50% more damage against close-combat opponents. However, the unit will deal 30% / 35% / 40% / 50% less damage against ranged opponents. Attacked targets can only move at walk speed for 10s. Lasts until deactivated.

---

The greater used Blessed affinity offers a substantial increase in damage against foes that use a melee attack, at the cost of weakened offense to ranged opponents.

At its full upgrade, the unit puts out an effective ATK of 1350 against close-quarters opponents, but only 450 against ranged enemies.

Infused Partisans Activate to make the unit deal 30% / 35% / 40% / 50% more damage against ranged opponents. However, the unit will deal 30% / 35% / 40% / 50% less damage against close-combat opponents. Attacked targets can only move at walk speed for 10s. Lasts until deactivated.

The lesser used Infused affinity offers a substantial increase in damage against foes that use a ranged attack, at the cost of weakened offense to close-quarters opponents.

At its full upgrade, the unit puts out an effective ATK of 1350 against ranged opponents, but only 450 against melee enemies.

Life Stealer 15% of the damage dealt by the unit will be added to its life points.

---

Life Stealer is the unique passive for the Bandits, restoring a percentage of the damage the unit inflicts by attacking as health.

As it is a percentile, abilities and spells that increase damage dealt will boost the amount of healing the unit receives through lifesteal.

Notes & Strategies

Bandit Spearmen depend heavily upon their massive damage output and lifesteal to secure them victory. Therefore, pairing them with spells like Unholy Power will enable much greater survivability.

Campaign PvE

Bandit Spearmen are strongest on maps where they can most easily benefit from their lifesteal. Maps with alot of archers or walls will prove troublesome for these units.

Random PvE

Bandit Spearmen can be called upon to bolster a push to the third tier camp, though this typically is not necessary.

PvP

Bandit Spearmen are very powerful, though easily countered. They can certainly devastate targets with their immense damage output.

Strengths

• Can potentially reach an ATK power of 1800 unassisted by spells.

When all of its innate damage bonuses are applied, the Bandit Spearmen can put out a whopping 1800 ATK, exceeding the Nightcrawler when frenzied, but not with counter damage applied.

• Bandit Spearmen can intercept and disrupt enemy movements

With their  Blessed Partisans /  Infused Partisans ability, the Bandit Spearmen can cripple a targets movement speed, preventing them from simply running away.

Weaknesses

• Bandit Spearmen are highly susceptible to knockback, crowd control, and ranged attacks

Being a small melee unit, the Bandit Spearmen are incredibly vulnerable to knockback and other CC. Archers and other ranged weapons make their lives much tougher.

Basic Info

A second tier soldier of the Wasteland Bandits is built for striking massive creatures. Not particularly capable of vanquishing an extra-large on their own, but by attacking in groups or leaving the mighty beasts crippled, they make it much easier to kill them.

Abilities

Steadfast Unit is immune to knockback.

---

The Bandit Spearmen are totally unaffected by knockback, making knockback oriented counters ineffective.

Crippling Strikes Melee strikes force units to move at walk speed for 10 seconds.

---

Like the Scavenger, the Bandit Spearmen cripple movement upon striking. This makes it incredibly difficult to elude them once it lands a blow.

Tips & Strategies

Bandit Spearmen are notorious troop among the bandits for their slowing strikes and immunity to knockback. They are often more dangerous to smaller units than extra large units.

Use of Crowd Control is heavily recommended to vanquish them, since knockback does not work.

Trivia

• Bandit Spearmen are a Reskin of the Spearmen.
• The Bandit card Bandit Spearmen is based on the Bandit Spearmen; but has more unique abilities.
