Phalanx

The Phalanx is a shield and spear wielding soldiers who have mediocre stats and abilities. Their "strength" comes from having multiple Phalanx when doing a mission as their abilities will improve their stats (mainly from Offensive and Defensive Formation). And Shield Up  synergize with themselves and other shield bearing units.
