While the fertile plains surrounding the city provided sustenance, it was Spartan blood and iron that truly defined them. From birth, every Spartan citizen was prepared for war. Torn from their families at a young age, they entered the [u]agoge[/u], the rigorous and all-encompassing system of Spartan education, emerging as hardened warriors. Their lives were dedicated to the mastery of combat, inextricably linked to the spear and shield. In a world where professional soldiers were a rarity, Spartans were warriors by nature, by nurture, and by necessity.

Within its ranks, every warrior, regardless of social standing, fought as one. At the Battle of Thermopylae, a small band of Spartans held off a massive Persian army, showcasing their legendary courage and resilience. The Spartan Chosen represent the best of these warriors, the pinnacle of Spartan military might. They are the sharpest edge of the Spartan spear, unwavering in the face of danger.

Their abilities focus on damage mitigation, sustained offense, and devastating counter-attacks, making them an unstoppable force on the battlefield. [b]Abilities:[/b] [list] [*] [b]Leonidas' Wrath:[/b] All damage taken by the unit builds Wrath. Attacking and killing enemies with No Mercy generates Wrath more quickly. At maximum Wrath, Spartan Vengeance can be unleashed. [/*] [*] [b]Oath of Unity:[/b] While any active ability is in use, the unit's damage taken is reduced to 70%, and all damage received is shared equally among its members, reflecting their unwavering commitment to one another. [/*] [*] [b]Bloodthirst Vigor:[/b] Each successful attack against enemy soldiers heals the Spartan Chosen for 1% of their maximum health over 5 seconds. Healing is doubled when below 30% health, fueling their relentless assault. [/*] [*] [b]No Mercy:[/b] Spartans lower their shields and aggressively thrust their spears forward, dealing high damage in a flurry of brutal attacks. Hits and kills during this ability generate Wrath rapidly. [/*] [*] [b]Spartan Vengeance:[/b] Upon activation, the unit enters a counter-attack stance, rhythmically advancing and thrusting at enemies in their path. Reactivating the ability within a set time executes a shield bash that knocks down enemy units. After the advance, the Spartans charge towards nearby enemies, leaping into the air for a powerful piercing attack, a testament to their unmatched martial skill. Each successful shield bash increases the final leap attack's damage by 50%. [/*] [/list]
