House Martells deadly Sunspear Dervishes are the type of rapid response unit that enemy archers and artillery rightly fear. Their light armor allows for fast reactions against emerging threats and once engaged, their unique spear-and-net fighting style hampers enemies in melee, and allows them to engage and hold against more heavily armored units. That said, Sunspear Dervishes are best employed against enemies already bogged down by other friendly units.

In a Martell force, they serve as line units positioned on flanks, the better to split off and deal with situations as they appear.
