Playstyle

1. Frontline unit
2. Press 1 (No MercyNo MercyThe Spartans swing their shields and thrust fiercely at the enemy, dealing high damage, and then regroup in formation at the same spot. Hitting or killing enemies during the skill quickly builds momentum.): same as the grandpa one, redirects them to where you’re facing and stabs in front. Each stab heals 5% HP
3. Press 2: similar to an Imperial Pikes Advance, but you have to re-press 2 during the advance to stab with your shield. At the 3rd press 2 (end of it), your unit jumps forward and stabs for big dmg
4. Main trait (Oath of Unity): for 5s after using a spell, every damage taken is spread through the whole unit (and reduced to 70%, so 30% dmg reduction)
5. Play around your cooldowns, never hesitate to redirect and replace yourself before pressing 2, also don’t hesitate to activate CCi and X-move back if going too deep

• Never hesitate to redirect and replace yourself before pressing 2, also don’t hesitate to activate CCi and X-move back if going too deep.
