Visual Appearance

• The Warrior appears as a slightly tanned, muscular man with white hair, gold jewelry and a blue crystal hammer.

• His appearance is similar to that of the male Native Islander.

Offensive Strategy

• The Warrior is best used in large numbers with no other type of troop.

• Taking out Cannons and Flamethrowers with the Gunboat can increase the survivability of Warriors greatly.

• Due to their high DPS, a great strategy is to use a full Warrior army and rush the enemy'sHeadquarters: deploy Flares in a path to the Headquarters while covering them with Smoke Screens. When they start attacking the Headquarters, shoot Shock Bombs at high DPSdefensive buildings with a quick firing rate like Cannons, Flamethrowers, Machine Guns, orSniper Towers. The Shock Launcher is also a high priority target to use the Shock Bombs on.

• Warriors are more vulnerable to high level Machine Guns than other troops. They have to stand right in front of the Machine Guns to attack them which allows the Machine Gun to utilize its full potential.

• Even though Warriors heal themselves with each attack, it is good to use one or moreMedkits.

• It is not recommended to use a Smokey Warrior Rush strategy to take out the power core during Operations. This is because the power core is a 6x6 building, so a Smoke Screencannot cover it.

Defensive Strategy

• Despite the fact that Warriors are healed for every attack they make, medium to high leveledSniper Towers, Cannons and Flamethrowers can easily take them out.

• At crucial part of protecting your base from Warriors is to place your Flamethrowers right next to your Headquarters. They are very dangerous to large groups of Warriors attacking theHeadquarters.

• The Shock Launcher can stop a whole army of Warriors in their tracks so your other Defensive Buildings can take them out, so place your Shock Launchers well.

• Placing Defensive Buildings such as Flamethrowers and Shock Launchers so that they are right between the Headquarters and the edge of the map can be very effective. This makes it impossible for an attacker to use a Shock Bomb on those defenses without immobilizing their Warriors.

Upgrade Differences

• Every level the Warrior is upgraded it increases his Hitpoints, DPS, Healing per hit and Training Cost.

Trivia

• Buildings shake when attacked by Warriors.

• When they appear as enemy troops, the blue marks on their faces turn red and their hammers have a red glow instead.

• The male Native Islanders that come out from under the enemy Headquarters when destroyed look similar to Warriors except without crystal hammers.

• In the "Freezing Menace" update, the Warrior's time to train was increased from 2 minutes to 3 minutes.
