Obtaining the Myrmidon Unit
In Command An Army on Roblox, the Myrmidon is a highly sought-after 4-star unit. Unlike units earned through specific campaign milestones or evolutions, the Myrmidon is primarily acquired through the game's banner summon system.
Because this is a gacha-based mechanic, obtaining the unit is subject to random chance. As of recent community reports, there is currently no "pity" system in place for the banner. This means you are not guaranteed to pull the unit after a specific number of summons. To increase your odds, you should focus on accumulating as many Gems as possible to perform multiple pulls during banners where the unit is available.
Farming Gems for Summons
Since the Myrmidon requires Gems for summoning, maximizing your currency income is the most effective way to secure this unit without spending Robux. The developers frequently release codes that provide free Gems and skill crystals.
To redeem these, follow these steps:
Launch Command An Army on Roblox.
Complete the tutorial if you are a new player.
Look for the Code button on the right side of the screen.
Input valid codes to claim your rewards.
As of October 2026, active codes like MONGOLS, UPDATE3, and GUILDFIX have been confirmed to provide Gems. Always check the official Discord server or community update posts for the most current codes, as they expire over time.
Combat Strategy: Unlocking the Myrmidon's Potential
While the Myrmidon’s in-game stat screen might look underwhelming compared to other 4-star units—often showing lower melee DPS and health—veteran players have discovered that these numbers are misleading. The unit possesses a significant hidden mechanic: passive Area of Effect (AoE) splash damage.
When the Myrmidon attacks, it deals approximately 25% splash damage to all adjacent enemies simultaneously. This makes it a specialized anti-crowd unit rather than a standard frontline fighter.
To get the most out of your Myrmidon:
Avoid Spread Formations: The unit struggles against long-range spearmen or lancers that scatter across the battlefield, as the AoE effect fails to trigger effectively.
Utilize Choke Points: Place your Myrmidons in narrow areas, such as the pass of Thermopylae, where enemies are forced to bunch up.
Force Dense Combat: Because the Myrmidon thrives on enemies being close together, it excels when positioned directly against an opponent's dense shield wall. The tighter the enemy formation, the more damage your Myrmidon will output.
By treating the Myrmidon as a "meat grinder" for dense enemy clusters rather than a solo duelist, you can turn a unit that appears weak on paper into one of the most destructive forces in your army.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a pity system for the Myrmidon?
Currently, community testing indicates there is no pity system in Command An Army. You must rely on RNG and your accumulated Gem count to pull the unit from the banner.
Why does the Myrmidon have low stats?
The stat screen does not reflect the unit's hidden passive AoE ability. While its raw HP and DPS numbers seem low, its ability to deal splash damage to multiple enemies at once allows it to outperform units with higher base stats in crowded combat scenarios.
What is the best formation for this unit?
The Myrmidon performs best in dense, tight formations. Avoid using it in open fields where enemies can flank or spread out. Instead, use it to engage enemy shield walls or in confined maps where the opponent cannot escape the splash damage radius.
