Gun is main - Lvl 30 right now.
Shaman is lowest level at 18
everybody else is around 26-28

My gun is where i put all my Stat vials, but i havent got her no skill points
None of my mercs won any Stat vials so far

My Sword is 100% Flame Sword. Only Skill, topped to the max so far.
Spearman is main Lighting Spear, going around 6-10. Thinking of secondary skill
Shaman Is main Healing at 15, gave her Hex by mistake, dont know if should keep it.

Everybody has Sea Gear, full set, no less than +2 on all (going to +4 for main in some parts)

So, what you guys think so far?

FOR THE FUTURE:

Im looking at getting one more Ranged unit. Artill or Cannon.

Also looking for Inventor in the future. Dont care for Vikings either...

You input is much appreciated!

heres my two cents.

Spearmen are great attackers and I Love Lightning Spear, however they make horrible tanks. They have a much lower defense rating then Sword. most people use spears in their midline. Now if you have the cash give them some +6 gear for their current level which would be Ankgor Wat boxes/Ogre gear. In Free League they will get eaten alive due to the +4 gear restriction. In atlantica online there is no wrong skill or merc. Every skill and merc has a purpose. it may be wrong for your build but not wrong for someone else. Hex of Darkness is fine if your going to use dark seed on your swordman to combo "Hell Flame" As for your build I would guess your going stun? Since all 3 spears hit 2 deep and your gun hits 3. I would then suggest going with a cookie cutter

this does 2 things. 1 limits your frontline so you still have 1 good defender and 1 mediocre one. I would consider another melee at level 40. At lvl 30 with good gear your spears can survive on the frontline in PvE, PvP its a toss up.

As For Skills it depends on finances and taste. For spearmen the only other skill is Deadly Strike and that is very expensive. On macedon it is 40-75k for a BEG book that only gives 1 skill point. Somewhat costly if you want to get it to 20, but it is an awesome skill when your merc is about to die.

Shaman she has a few good skills. Brutal will is killer with a spear/gunner line. It gives them multiple attacks and they have good reach column wise.
Blessing of Life is good obviously.
Hex of darkness I do not personally like, however I know some who do. It combos very well with dark seed on sword.
Noble Sacrifice is fun, it kills your shaman but gives all your mercs +heal and +defense.

Sword has few options Flame Sword is nice, Deadly strike(costly) and Darkseed if you wish to combo that with Hex of Darkness.

Gunner
Wild Shot is popular. I personally use a Chaos Wind(main only) and Deadly SHot mix but both of those skills are extremely costly. I would do like a Wild Shot/Chaos Wind
Chaos Wind is an aoe attack that does dmg over 4 rounds.

Hope this helps somewhat. I have a gunner main and this is my formation

I have deadly shot/strike on all mercs and Maxed my chaos wind and I win every FL in my level range(20-30) This is not my main account if your wondering why im dishing so much advice and the same level as you lol.
