I was wondering about a buff to Hoplite shielding when shielding adjacent to other Hoplites. Something like a +2 buff when in a small proximity - say 2m or something or maybe +1 for 2 Hoplites or +2 for 3 or more Hoplites and a maximum of +2. It would make sense from a strictly Hoplite and Phalanx point of view.
I was also curious since there seems to be a precedent with Mangler and crush through... That Elegy receive a small amount of shield penetration when used without a shield similar to Chosen Valkyries. Even with the short length the distance is very small where you either don't hit air or bounce. Much smaller than any other weapon in the game. It seems to me that only a Commando would have the strength for crush through and if a Marauder has a specific locked weapon with it, there may be some reasoning and precedent for giving Hoplite some bonus for using their top tier specific weapon similar to a Chosen Valkyrie.
