Slaughterer

Slaughterer is a promoted class stemming from the Spearman base-class, introduced in the second part of The Banner Saga.
 * The active ability of Slaughterer is called Pig Sticker.
 * One Hero belongs to this promoted class, Bak, while two more (Ludin and Tryggvi) gain the ability of this class at Rank 6.
 * Enemy units, e.g. the Krags Pole Man, also have this active ability.
 * Units of this class have not (yet) been introduced in Factions.

Active Ability: Pig Sticker

 * The Slaughterer comes in low and attempts to skewer his target, attacking with a 20% chance to deal a Critical strike, which does double Strength damage.
 * Allies adjacent to the Slaughterer's target distract him/her, thus increasing the chance for Critical damage.


 * Rank 1: +10% critical chance per ally adjacent to target
 * Rank 2: +20% critical chance per ally adjacent to target
 * Rank 3: +30% critical chance per ally adjacent to target


 * Unlike Impale, Pig Sticker has the same range as the Spearman's regular attacks (two tiles)
 * so the Slaughterer has more opportunity to benefit from the adjacency bonus.

Usage Tips

 * Pig Sticker synergizes well with the Artery Strike Talent, as the Critical bonus-chances stack.
 * Furthermore, the right Items will push your Critical chance even further.
