Farmer (Alpha)
- This article is about the Alpha version of Farmer (Alpha), and is very, very old. For the Release version of this unit, see Farmer.
The Farmer (Alpha) is a melee unit from the Misc faction. They are equipped with a large pitchfork which it uses to jab at its enemies. |
Characteristics
The Farmer is a powerful melee Unit first added in the Pre-Alpha and is still in the game today in the Farmer faction. It is considered one of the most cost effective melee Units in the game.
Appearance
The Farmer takes on the appearance of a Wobbler with smaller, round eyes and a straw hat. It wields a large pitchfork which it uses to stab its enemies.
Usage
The Farmer can go head-to-head with most melee Units. Although their stats aren't the best, the fact that they can attack rapidly allows them to land lost of blows on their target and do some decent damage, and are a great, cheaper alternative to the Spearman.
To maximize its potential, and to cover the low health, it is recommended to place a large group of Farmers which should be able to kill any enemy Units that come to their range quickly.
Trivia
- In the Pre-Alpha, the Farmer used a similar attack pattern to the Axe and lacked its straw hat. This, however, was changed in the Open Alpha.
- In the Open Alpha, the farmer made a squeaking sound when attacking.
- The Farmer is a great counter to the Viking.
