Warhammer

The warhammer can be given to your commanders in order to give them the ability to throw themselves at the enemy to deal damage and strongly knock them back (Useful to drown enemy units.)

The basic version of the warhammer gives your commander the skill to throw themselfes at the enemy, after being upgraded to level 2 (10 coins) the warhammer attack deals more damage, has more knockback and a further AOE range making it a more consistent and powerful item, capable of even throwing enemy Brutes around or into the water.

Once used in battle, the ability automatically recharges over time (similar to recovering a unit in a house) untill it can be used again.

A small icon of the skill will appear over the commanders unit for a short amount of time, when the ability has been recharged.

Be careful when using it, the attack can harm your own units too!

As with every item in the game, once it is assigned to a commander, it cannot be removed anymore.

Recommended

• Suitable for all three unit classes.
• Best used with Infantry so they can fairly easily handle Brutes, the most difficult unit for them to handle.

Notes

• Very useful for drowning enemy soldiers (Throwing them into the water with the skill's attack knockback.)
• Can harm your own units.
• Can be used on same height as target field only.
• Very useful for when a large group of enemies exits a boat. If used as the boat hits the shore, at level 1, and more consistently at level 2 (Due to its further power and range) the warhammer will send the entire wave back into the water effectively skipping the wave.

Con of Warhammer to Bomb

• While on a cooldown, if bomb is upgraded to level two a second bomb can be thrown shortly after the first when needed which may be necessary at times, whereas warhammer you must always wait for the cooldown to finish before using it again.
