Strategy

• Spear Soldiers have their shield up most of the time and will "turtle" behind it until you make a mistake at which point they will jab you with their spear.
• Use a kick to stagger them or trick them to attack first and counter attack. If you have light equipment run around them to get a backstab.
• Sometimes they will bash forward dealing 3 spear strikes, this attack is extremely dangerous.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
• Firebombs are also very effective, as the arc of the thrown firebomb can carry it right under their shield and strike their feet for full damage.
