Efficiency of Upgrading

The chart below shows the point at which upgrading Shield and Spear increases total atk+def more than spending the equivalent amount on additional spearfighters. Assuming that the benefit of single upgrades in either attack or defense are equivalent, the most cost effective order for upgrading is somewhat asymmetrical. That is, Shield to Level 4 is cheaper than Spear Level 2, so you would upgrade them in that order.
