Range

Standard range without upgrades

Strategy

• These dwarfs are similar to the Holy Order from the previous game: both can heal themselves and can upgrade their armor, but without Holy Strike. Instead, their base damage can be doubled with all three Mithril Hammers.
• Except for maybe holding back a few stragglers in Darklight Depths, they are almost absolutely worthless while there are any Saurian Deathcoils within firing range.

Related Upgrades

• Courage (3 Stars)
  • While in combat, soldiers & reinforcements regenerate 1% health every second.
