Lately I've been playing SE again (after 6 months of not touching it). And when I was battling a guy called Alderite, he defeated me using Spears+Arrows. Then, I began facing this combo time and again! I tried it myself (very good actually), but when others are using it, I can't seem to defeat it... Is there a counter towards this combo?

You gotta be more specific than that...Provide replays?

But I think I lost is because of his Magikill LOL

Here is the other replay in which I use the Speacher combo, with the help of 2 Meric, 2 Mage, and 1 Giant (pretty sweet).

Getting a spear before him is generally the one of the main things that decide who wins.

First one with a spear wins, that's OvO in a nutshell.

Behold! The rise of the spear start! 20XX is upon us!

So, this is the counter?

With a stable economy and archer count yes. Cause spear start won't work, almost ever.

Uhm! Correction! Spear start do work!

Oh geez. Pure spear start on DM short map. queuing 3 spears at a time. May the lord have mercy on your soul.

Why? *-*

It's not the best thing to do, put simply.

It means you're shit. In the nicest words possible.

Basically, spear start won't help vs better players and queuing units takes too much time.

Then what do you suggest I do?

Start of slow then work your way as you progress into achieving what you ultimately want to achieve. (If you get what I mean)
