Heavy Shock Spears are a type of infantry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

While the sword was well on its way to dominating the Anatolian battlefields of the Late Bronze Age, the spear remained the Trojan warriors’ weapon of choice right up to the fall of the great city. Crafted from a wooded shaft and a sharpened bronze head, the weapon was especially useful in the initial charge, but often proved unwieldy at close quarters. Spearmen were especially vulnerable to light swordsmen, who would outflank them or move past their spear lines to deal them crippling blows.
