Well shadows an speartons actually go hand in hand together,

think about it 3 shadow an 1 spear, will slaughter 4 spears, even if u involve other units in the mix, as long as the spear protects his brethren shadow, they can dish out assassinations without leaving themselves exposed


Or they all target the shadowrath first?

Well the shadows stay a fair distance away ofc, only coming in for assassination an fixate blows hidden behind the spear

But when the shadow comes in and activates shinobi, their speed is reduced and the enemy can escape, when the shadow comes out of shinobi, it is then vulnerable.

well if you time the shinobi right, theres no way to dodge it,
you simply dont activate until right ontop of the unit, an if u micro pro enough, move ur spearton in front of the shadow an then hes not exposed

No, you use shinobi when you are on top of them. Otherwise the spearton will just form a shield wall between your shadowrath and your base, so your shadowrath can't retreat and must attack their base instead.

Wait, how do speartons in shield wall prevent shadowrath from escaping? Shield Bash? The targeting on that can be glitchy sometimes.
