## Basic Info

Bandit Spearmen are **tier two** units of the Wasteland Bandits. Their powerful attack, immunity to knockback and slowing effect make these warriors optimal for taking down extra-large units.

## Abilities

**Official Tooltip**
Their barbed spears will slow enemies they hit. A warrior trance makes it difficult to knock them away or trample them down, increasing their lethality against huge creatures.

**Steadfast**
 **Passive:** Cannot be knocked back.

**Crippling Strikes**
 **Passive:** Melee strikes force units to move at walk speed for 10 seconds.
## Tips & Strategies

Bandit Spearmen are designed for taking on extra large units, but do not think that is the only thing they excel at killing! They are quite powerful as they cannot be knocked away and slow your units down when they attack, preventing a retreat. Taking them out at a distance is preferable to engaging in melee whenever possible.
