Weapon variants
Lothern Sea Guard
Bow-and-spear infantry for a formation that needs ranged fire and a response to an approaching enemy.
Lothern Sea Guard (Shields)
The shielded variant adds protection against incoming missiles from the direction it faces. Check which variant you are recruiting.
Let the bows work before contact
Use the approach to shoot while a spear response remains available. A wing position can let Sea Guard fire into an enemy’s exposed side and then turn to meet a flanking attacker. Keep their frontage and facing in view as the battle changes.
Once the regiment is tied down in melee, it loses shooting time. If another unit can receive the charge, consider keeping the Sea Guard free to fire. If they must hold the approach themselves, support them instead of leaving that part of the line isolated.
Coastal troops and shallow water
Update 7.0 added the Aquatic attribute to Lothern Sea Guard and the shielded variant. This suits their maritime role, including an army fighting along a coast. Check the ground, firing opportunities and approach routes together when choosing a position.
Aislinn’s Sea Patrol makes coastal operations a campaign focus, but Sea Guard also belong to the wider High Elf roster. Their bows and spears fill the same basic jobs in Tyrion’s army or a caster-led expedition.
Build a formation around the hybrid role
Spearmen provide a dedicated screen for separate shooters. Sea Guard combine those jobs in one regiment, which gives flexibility but also asks you to decide when to stop shooting and hold ground.
Keep a reserve or nearby hero able to help when the unit changes roles. Caradryan can reinforce a melee while another regiment keeps firing, provided you have recruited him through his separate DLC mission chain.
