Unit Name
Silla Guards
Unit Acquire Method
Unlocked during Season 22: Silla – Hwarang’s Oath by completing seasonal challenges; no Honour tree or signaculum required.
Traits
- Polearm Specialists – Armed with long spears and rectangular shields, ideal for spear-and-shield frontline defense.
- Shield Throw – Can hurl shields to stun enemies, breaking enemy lines and disrupting formations.
- Elite Discipline – Veteran national defense force with balanced attack and defense, suited for holding chokepoints and coordinated pushes.
Skills / Formations
- Shield Throw – Launches a shield dealing blunt damage and stunning the target; shield is lost upon impact.

Tips / Tricks

- Maintain proper spacing—use spears from behind the shield wall to maximize reach and effect.
