Yeah, Paladin is op until some guy hits your naked head with a skullcrusher and you lose half your health bar in one shot, lol.
Fr bro spearman is MUCH better than paladin.
I mean cmon let's compare them shall we:Spearman has a good helmet,decent body armor,GREAT gloves,shield and boots,good pants and EXCELLENT weapon(seriously the freaking thunder spike is MURDER lol).
Meanwhile the paladin,while he DOES have great body armor,has NO.HELMET.,good gloves,great boots,and good pants.No shield tho.And a good weapon.
So clearly spearman is superior no;).
Also I was ONLY ever able to beat arcade mode with the spearman because everyone else's range and defence SUCKS lol(the guys after u kill the boss(20)up until 99 will wreck your shit if u don't have enough range and aren't able to atleast 2 shot them,and ONLY the spearman has these prerequisites.Everyone else just doesn't have enough range;) ).
