Best defensive unit?

OneidaDave

After being completely run over by upgraded horse spearmen, I'm looking for a way to counter them. What unit is the best to act as a "tank"? It doesn't need killing power - just has to be able to stand toe to toe without dying in a hot or two.

I'm thinking the shield samurai but maybe it's the upgraded spear horsemen. I have limited gems for upgrading. Any thoughts or experiences to share?

maybe you should think about upgrading your main character

i use the kunnochi setup with assassin

spawn a whole bunch of assassin then throw in flash bomb for stun

That seems like a good idea. I've upgraded the samurai - probably a mistake - but I've got the gems to upgrade the kunochi prett well. Thanks for the suggestion.

extra help throw in lathargy to slow them down

i mainly use the kunnoichi due to a sorceress experience

if you face a strong sorceress she can be a pain in the arse due to the push back ability she has. Worse is when you use your ronin and she keeps on pushing you back

The kunnoichi can stun and go in close for the kill

Shield samurai with priest behind him. I use Ronin . He leads the way with thick shield & powerful slashes
