Useful clash effect that can take out an enemy mini at the start of the fight. Since a lot of minis only have 5 HP, Spear Goblin at 0 star can already one shot non-tank 0 star minis. The +3 damage from 1 star lets you do this more reliably against upgraded minis, which is going to be useful for the second star upgrade to double its damage for a while.
