The Warrior is the 2-handed axe-wielding Varl base melee unit. He can be recruited from the Mead House. Since he is a starting unit, his stats are already at their peak when he is recruited.

Passive Ability: Heavy Impact[ | ]

The Warrior hits so hard that any enemies standing adjacent to his target on a strength attack take 1 strength damage from the shockwave.

Hitting a large target like a Varl or Dredge who takes up four tiles can potentially cause an impact across many more victims than hitting a single-square target such as a human.

Promotions[ | ]

After achieving 5 total kills, the Warrior is eligible for promotion to one of the following classes:

Warhawk Warleader Warmaster
Warhawk
Warleader
Warmaster

Lore[ | ]

"Are there any amongst us not made to fight and kill?" asked the younger Varl. "Did Men and Dredge not run in fear just at the sight of us?" His elder chuckled. "Maybe, pup, but I will not call you a warrior until you have crushed someone so thoroughly that his friends feel the impact."
