Eternal Guard or Asari Spears?

[☁ Marble ☁]

what would be better to hold the front line?

[Carson]

Eteral Gyard with spears

[Dezztroy]

Eternal Guard with shields become almost as good as Dwarfs at holding their ground with the proper tech and lord skills. That said, Wardancers with Asrai spears are extremely good all around and are a good addition to any army.

Um? Wardancers are some of the most survibale troops i have ever run across, send them agiasnt bestigors 1v1 in custom battle, they not only survivle they win its amazing, and if the targets are large just use spear ones its amazing XD

Dafuq is Asari Spears?
If you mean asrai spears - it is literaly the type of weapon Eternal Guard use. And half of the WE army on TT too. Sadly in this game only wardancers got them aside from EG. Wild Riders' got theirs castrated for some reason, without their anti-large and armor piercing properties. And Glade Riders and Warhawk Riders forgot to take theirs into battle.

Eternal Guard better in every situation , hold monster , hold cav , hold heavy armour , hold fire .
Speardancer can't hold range fire also monster combine with infantry charge.

spear dancer can hold Archer fire better then eternal guard can their physical resitance coupled with their ability to activate missle reistance combines rather well with their other aspects, shields only work if beign shot from the front which youll only take one or 2 volleys anyway with the speed of either group if your being shot from the front.

Noone mentioned wildwood rangers? They are what I use for defensive mellee if we are talking elf not forest spirit.

I just entered this thread because I saw Asari, the race of only female blue aliens with tentacles as hair of the Mass Effect universe, I'm disappointed. Bye bye.

P. D: They use biotics powers not spears and the Eternal Guard are the so called Asari Justicars xD

Except they do 0 dmg. They have a hard time killing some Goblins. Sure they can hold them forever.. but they dont harm anyone. I prefer some Infantry that can not only hold the line. I want them to kill something wile holing the line.

Spear dancers while their ability is active can hold agiasnt ranged damage better then if being shot from any side other then front, and your not going to be shot from the front once their in combat. They hold the line stright up better then eternal guard.

Asrai Spear Wardancers - because woad-painted/tattooed berserker-chicks need to have a place in every army. Wish there were some brunettes or redheads though ... ^^

He's pointing out a typo. It says asari, not asrai.

Wardancers w/ spears as main line, and EG with Shields as "blocker" in your rear. I usually take 2 max. 3 EG with Spears to prevent enemy Kav from charging into my Archers or come from the sides into my wardancers.
They are slower and weaker than Wardancers w/ Spears, but they are more durable from the front and also got that nice "anti-block" skill.
So, use them only as rear guard, would atleast by my advice.

Also Wardancers w/ Spears take ALOT of punishment, which agains lets the EG looks so weak..

[DarkFenix]

How do you figure EG are more durable from the front? They simply aren't, they have only 120 more hp in spite of having 20 more men, worse protection (20% physical resist protects better than 25 extra armour) and generally worse combat stats.
