Halfling
The Halfling is a melee unit from the Farmer faction. They are equipped with Halfling Grabs. |
Characteristics
The Halfling is a moderately fragile and very weak unit armed with naught but their Halfling Grab hands. They will try their best to punch any enemy units they encounter. With moderately low health and small size with only average speed, their underwhelming stats are made-up with their extremely cheap price.
When engaging, the Halfling will jump into enemy unit when up-close. Even though vulnerable after landing, the Halfling's tiny proportions makes them hard to hit overall. In combat, their tiny hand deals extremely low damage with a long cooldown. They will frequently grab on to enemy units, trapping them; they will even do so after said unit is dead, taking the poor corpse along the journey.
Appearance
The Halfling is a humanoid that is half the size of the average Wobbler. They have a bushy brown hair, distinctively hairy feet and wears three layers of clothing; a team-colored jacket, a light team-colored vest and a white shirt underneath. In addition, they wear a pair of dark team-colored shorts buckled with a buckle belt.
Unit Voice
Usage
The Halfling are good in numbers and a great distraction unit. Paired with their small size, their grabbing attack allows them to waste the time of other larger enemy Units.
However, they can be easily taken out by pretty much any weapon or unit and they can be sometimes exchanged for other cheap units like the Clubber. Even then, the Halfling can be a great asset to your army during Campaign or Sandbox battles. Halflings are most effective in swarms, as they can take down tougher units through their relentless grabbing.
On the Farmer 2 map, Halflings can hide in the wheat fields.
Encounters
Cheap and weak, the Halfling is commonly the fodder of their army. They also tend not to be alone, being in big groups or even swarms. Sometimes they may hide under the thick wheat fields, hiding their presence from the player.

- In Unit Creator, Halflings are one of the available player bases. While they can use any weapon and clothing item, the clothing will scale awkwardly due to the fact that the halfling model is very squat.

- They are voiced by Hanna.
- The Halfling is the natural counter to many units as a result of its small size, as most units are not designed to aim low.
- With the "Halflings turn into black hole" setting enabled, halflings can be toggled to implode into black holes. These black holes slowly increase in size, eventually able to encompass entire maps, until they shrink out of existence.
- The Halfling's clothes are not available in the Unit Creator due to unknown reasons.
- As of the Unit Creator update, the halfling has attack sounds for their grab and jump.
