Ancient Fan
The Ancient Fan is a Secret melee and ranged weapon from the Ancient faction. It is used by the Fan Bearer.
Characteristics
The Ancient Fan is a polearm that creates wind when swung, slowing all units within the 3 x 9 WM area in front of it. It has a very quick reload, but is not enough to stop a normal Wobbler by itself. When en masse though, they can keep enemy units from approaching to blowing them far away. Bigger and heavier units will be much more resilient to the wind, with unit weight affecting wind resilience the most.
Subtly, the wind of the Ancient Fan can cause extremely low damage to all units swept by it; this includes ally units. If an enemy unit gets too close, the fan can also be swung for a weak melee attack. For a small burst damage, it has a very long cooldown period before it can melee attack again. Its cooldown timer is also hidden and cannot be changed in the Unit Creator.
Appearance
A long bronze shaft with a team colored fan on the end. The Ancient Fan's fan blade is attached by a semicircular bronze crest box with two prongs at the bottom.
Trivia
- If the unit has a lower damage multiplier, its knockback will be lower as well.
- If an opposing unit is placed under a unit with the Ancient Fan, the first wind blow can damage the unit below just as a melee attack.
- The fan blades of the fans at the time were typically made of feathers.
