Uses
By placing a spearton (or any unit with enough health) infront of the Miner Wall, you stop any enemy units from being able to attack the wall. This means that a spearton in Shield Wall, with some Merics and a Magikill is a very potent combination, as you can see in the picture above.
When your opponent builds many Speartons, this stategy is very powerful, as when they attempt to attack, they are forced to attack your own spear, which while in Shield War, will only take 50% of the damage given, meaning iit will take a considerable amount of time to kill him. During this time, the Speartons are all lined up, so you can use a Magikill to cast spells such as Electric Wall and Blast to take advantage of the clustered units.
You can also build a forward Miner Wall, as close to the centre pole as possible (roughly halfway between your castle and the pole). This is useful for when you have control of the pole, as it gives you time to retreat safely if you are suddenly attacked from an overpowering army.
