Powerful, and reliable. Commandos are the ranged alternative to the 
Bandit Spearmen, though not with the same potential power. While they may not offer the same damage output, they can sustain themselves far better than the spearmen can. When immobile, they benefit from significantly enhanced lifesteal and one of two benefits depending on the affinity.
Campaign PvE
In general purpose combat and especially mounted on walls, Commandos are incredibly sustainable thanks to their ability. They form a strong back line with 
Banditos and Bandit Spearmen, and when provided an 
Unholy Power buff, they can heal back an immense level of health with each shot. The affinity you choose should depend on what you intend to accomplish: The Blessed affinity is more versatile as the resistance applies anywhere with ranged or magical damage. The Tainted affinity excels on maps with a strong human presence, such as Bad Harvest, Ocean, and Oracle.
Random PvE
Commandos can be used to reinforce a push for the tier three and four camps, but should be recycled afterwards.
