The dwarf is a durable melee unit in Stronghold Legends.
Description[]
Hailing from the frozen mountains, dwarves seize any opportunity they can in hopes for gold. Though they are small in size, they fight like true warriors. Armed with a large maul, they can also attack enemy walls and gatehouses. When attacked, the dwarf emits noxious fumes that damages nearby troops.
The dwarf is trained at the Ice Tower.
Information[]
The dwarf is an excellent combat fighter. Although they deal little damage with their hammers, they come with immense offensive utility. Boasting good health and durability, a squad of dwarves can march up to an undefended wall section with impunity. As any attack causes them to poison their surroundings, the enemy has to think twice before engaging dwarves directly in melee.
Dwarves are comparable to the pikeman and the shield maiden in terms of statistics, excelling at prolonged combat and blocking advancing enemy troops. While their gold cost is relatively high, they demand less honor than other frontline troops, making them more affordable.
While having good statistics, dwarves are relatively cumbersome to move around, even in formation. Their speed makes them slow to deploy in a short time, giving ample time for ranged formations to outmaneuver them and slowly whittle them down.
Tactics[]
- Dwarves can attack walls and gates. Use them to break through enemy defenses after a first wave has cleared possible traps around.
- Toxic fumes from dwarves can also harm friendly units, so keep your other units away from their close proximity.
