How to Get Myrmidon in Command An Army — 4-Star Stats & Counters

The Myrmidon is a 4-star hybrid unit from Command An Army’s Mongol update (early October 2026). It mixes a shield with real damage. Testers sum it up as “a Spartan, but faster and with more damage.”

How do I get the Myrmidon?

From summons, paid with Gems. There’s no quest or shop route. Gems come from quests, milestone rewards and codes, so redeem everything on the codes page first, then summon in a batch. Keep duplicates: Ascension merges two copies into a stronger one (how units work). It came with the Mongol update as one of the two new summon-tier units, next to the Laestrygonian.

What does the Myrmidon do?

It’s a melee damage unit that can also block. That combo is why creators rate it so highly.

The takeaway: a big squad, a shield and a bonus hit on a second enemy. Your numbers will change with level, Ascension and the skill tree.

Why is it so strong?

Three things stack up:

• It has a shield, and shields refill. Damage goes into the shield first. After a fight the shield comes back, while HP heals very slowly. So a Myrmidon squad stays healthy across fights.
• 24 units in a tight formation. That’s four more than a Spartan squad. When an enemy gets close, they all hit at once.
• Cleave damage. Each hit splashes about 25% extra onto an enemy next to the target. One tester measured around 9 extra damage per hit. It’s best against enemies packed together.

How should you use it?

Use it to flank and to push into packed enemy lines. It’s good at solo fights on the side of the map, and the cleave shines when enemies are bunched up.

One creator who pulled it on day one tested it on the new mountain map. His Myrmidons took a capture point with almost no losses.

Where does it rank?

One tester who maxed every Mongol-update unit calls it best-in-slot damage and his favorite unit of the update. He also says it’s underrated, because lots of players wrote it off early.

If you already have a Spartan, the Myrmidon doesn’t replace it as a frontline anchor yet. It’s the better pick when you want damage and speed.

Compare it with the other big Mongol-update units, the 5-star Laestrygonian and the horse-archer Khorchin. For the wider meta, see the best units tier list.
