Ahh...one of the attacks we hate the most. I HATE THIS ATTACK, but I love it when I'm using it. You quickly make a castle archer at the beginning, and slowly increase your economy until you have 10 miners, 2 miner walls, and hopefully 2 castle archers. Send one or two miners to pray, and churn out Spearton after Spearton after Spearton, with two Merics. Once you reached full population, the enemy should have captured the center tower. Pretend to attack, but rush right past them towards the enemy statue. The enemy will chase after you, but you should be attacking the statue by then. Assassinate any Magikill if there are any with the army.
Weaknesses:
-Albowtross
-Possibly a Shadowrath mass with Shinobi II, as they are faster than the Speartons
-Resilience
-Magikill

Someone will harass the heck out of you, then they will reach full population before you. They will stick archers just outside castle archer range and eliminate your miner walls and your second gold row. Soon they will get rage for their swords once they figure out your plan and a spearton to block your castle archer. Rage swords will tear apart your statue with the help of archers.
Spearton rush sucks against anyone who is able to scout or harass.

oh man....then you are also a defender/rusher to statue..... I really suggest you to let it be...dont use this strat, trust me, you will fail at higher rank...but hey, its only my opinion, so if you still want to rush with speartons, then do it ^^ but remember my words ^^

My suggestion, learn how to kite (if you don't) and start with archer + sword. Take the center and put out maybe 2 or 3 swords while building your economy. Get a spearton with shield wall, get maybe 2 rows of swords with some archers and use the spearton in shield wall to block any castle archer arrows fired at your swords. Your swords then use rage and tear through the statue. This will probably work longer than a spear rush.

If anything the game should be shorter with my strategy since my units are building faster.
