Spearman

The Spearman is a regular enemy of Pascal's Wager. Its name is a translation of the internal name 长矛兵 ("spear soldier"); see Enemies. It appears in Ch.3, Ch.5 and Ch.6 and has 5 attack moves (physical damage). In the reference placement (Ch.6 Blessedland) it has 1012 HP in journey 1 and 3176 HP in journey 4. It attacks from a distance (AI range up to 12 m); it raises a guard stance.

Where it appears#

Each row is one area: level, HP, Physical attack and Physical defence of its placements there (a range when they differ). Reading guide: The Where it appears table.

Maze scaling#

In Deep into the Dark Mist the level comes from the maze floor, not from the placement (details).

Stats#

Reference placement: story 6, monster 6059 (Ch.6 Blessedland, the area with the most placements); how to read the table: The Stats section.

Hidden mechanics#

• Scaling. Level 15 / 46 / 66 / 78 in the reference placement for journeys 1-4 (fixed per placement, rising with each New Game Plus journey); HP goes from 1012 to 3176 (x3.1) and Physical attack from 277 to 882 by journey 4. Poise and Resilience never scale; the rule is in How enemy stats are built.
• Dark Mist levels. Its 7 placements in the Dark Mist scenes (stories 101-105) take their level from your hero, not from the table (Dark Mist enemies scale with your hero). The table level is 8 in journey 1 and 1 in journeys 2-4, so from journey 2 on the level is your Altar Level + 11.
• Fixed level. 1 of its 24 chapter placements keep the same level (1) in all four journeys, so those copies do not get stronger in New Game Plus apart from their fixed bonuses.

See How to read the enemy pages for what the sections mean and How enemy stats are built for the stat rules.
