If they'd be resurrected as soon as they fell, then targeting any of the minions would just amount to a war of attrition as the magic-users wore him down while the swordsminions tried to arrange a Siegfried setup, and unfortunately for Spade, he doesn't realize that the figure that seems to be leading and resurrecting the fallen is a Ruler.

And from what he knew (and what information he was lacking), this clearly called for a change in tactics -

And turning his focus from getting at the mages, to turning to charge after Judgement, going around any pits, dips, or other depressions that might be in his path.
