Strategy and Builds
The Risen Spearman is a good anti-cavalry heavy infantry unit in Risen squads due to it having the Polearm trait.
Traits like Resolve, Unscathed, and Bodyguard are great to improve the defenses of the Risen Spearman, while Challenger and Concentration are good to improve their offense.
When not in the front-line and in a mostly Risen squad, the Vengeance trait is very useful for dealing extra damage to accumulate unlife to revive dead ally Risen units.
Warrior's Hubris is also very useful for counteracting their main weakness against magic damage.
