How to Get the Phalangite in Command An Army (Roblox)

How to Unlock the Phalangite Unit

To add the Phalangite to your roster in Command An Army, you must follow the game's unit evolution path. The Phalangite is the final evolution in the spear-based unit tree.

1. Start with a Spearman: Begin by deploying or summoning a Spearman.
2. Evolve to Pikeman: Use your resources to evolve the Spearman into a Pikeman.
3. Evolve to Phalangite: Once you have a Pikeman, you can trigger the final evolution to unlock the Phalangite.

According to player experience and community reports, this unit is widely considered a "meta" choice for defensive strategies due to its unique combination of reach and durability.

Phalangite Stats and Tactical Performance

The Phalangite stands out because of its exceptional range and defensive utility. Unlike standard melee units, it provides a "bunker-like" presence on the battlefield. Based on current game data, here are the core attributes you can expect at level 20 with ascension 3:

• Range: 25 (considered "giga range" by the community)
• HP: Approximately 347–350
• Damage: ~36.5–41.3
• Block: ~71.4
• Unit Count: 28

The unit features three distinct formations. The first allows the troops to extend their spears to hit enemies from a distance. The second creates an impenetrable wall of spears, while the third forms a protective circle around your commander.

Why the Phalangite is a Meta Choice

Community feedback highlights that the Phalangite is currently one of the strongest defensive units in the game. Its primary advantage is the ability to strike enemies before they can get close enough to deal damage. Because of their long spears, Phalangites can effectively shut down enemy charges and lancers.

Tip

Combat Strategy: Utilize the Phalangite's passive healing by keeping the unit stationary when possible. This allows you to fully leverage their high block rating and shield defensive capabilities, making them an excellent choice for holding capture points.

While the unit has relatively lower HP compared to some heavy knights, its ability to keep enemies at bay with its 25-range spear makes it a formidable opponent. Note that rushing with Phalangites can be risky; they are best utilized in defensive formations where their reach can be fully exploited.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Over-extending: While they are strong, Phalangites can still be overwhelmed if they are surrounded by multiple groups of lancers or high-DPS units. Avoid charging them into the middle of an enemy army without support.
• Ignoring Formations: Don't just leave them in a basic state. Actively switching between their three formations—especially the circle formation when under heavy fire—is key to their survival.
• Underestimating Archers: Even with shields, prolonged exposure to heavy archer fire can whittle down your squad. Use the Phalangite’s range to your advantage to prioritize clearing enemy lines before they can focus fire on your units.
