Earthstout Pikeman - Buffs Needed
The Earthstout Pikeman is an incredibly rare unit, with its emblems being as hard to obtain as that of SSR units, while also being limited to being obtained only during the event. With that being the case, why is it so weak?
At level 1, the Earthstout Pikeman has:
139 Damage
24/m Attack Speed
1.7k HP
112 Defense
Total Damage Per Minute: 3,336
For comparison, Cloudburst Assassins at level 1 have:
125 Damage
40/m Attack Speed
2k HP
38 Defense
Total Damage Per Minute: 5000
The Earthstout Pikeman's low health negates the benefit of its high defense, and its low attack speed negates the benefit of its high attack power. In order to be useful, it's going to need a buff. Here's what I suggest:
Earthstout Pikeman
153 Damage
24/m Attack Speed
2k HP
112 Defense
Total Damage Per Minute: 3,672
Even then, it will be pretty disappointing compared to the SSR units, but at least it would be good enough to be somewhat useful as an SR.

Upon seeing the other pikemen, and seeing how it's actually not that hard to get them, I conclude that the fire and air pikemen are good, and the earth pikemen are better than I initially gave them credit for. They still need a slight buff if they're going to be even with the other pikemen, but they are still more useful than most SR troops when finally maxed, and with patience it does eventually happen without investing too many resources in them. The rest of the pikemen are great and don't need to be changed.
