Usage
It attacks by throwing Candle Fire from its hands at its foes. The fire balls can penetrate shields, but shields seem to mitigate the throw-back effect somewhat. Units hit by these fire balls get pushed backwards up into the air, and look frozen temporarily. Small, weak, and/or light units can get thrown a considerable distance by the Candlehead's fire ball attacks, but large, strong, and/or heavy units merely get pushed slightly backwards.
The Candlehead is best used to keep enemy units at a distance, and to delay melee units. Candleheads can also thwart enemy melee attacks by pushing the attacking unit backwards, out of range of its target. A large number of Candleheads can keep an enemy army at bay.
The Candlehead is, however, fairly fragile. It will die to most standard attacks, so it is wise to put other units between it and the enemy. Candleheads are particularly vulnerable to enemy ranged units, since Candleheads will usually be shot before they can get into range with their fire balls. However, a single Candlehead can hold its own against most standard melee units by repeatedly throwing them backwards, thereby stopping the enemy unit from attacking it.
Trivia
- It is shown on a gif along with the Skeleton Pirate (Now Skeleton Warrior), Pumpkin catapult, and the Reaper.
- The Candlehead's head taper is extinguished when it dies.
- With enough Candleheads, a unit can go completely airborne and die in mid-air while never coming down.
- It may be a reference to the Grand Archives Scholars from Dark Souls 3 or Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.
