Harpooner
The Harpooner is a ranged unit from the Pirate faction. They are equipped with the Harpoon Gun and Pirate Kick. |
Characteristics
The Harpooner is a rather interesting unit in which they are armed with a harpoon gun, a weapon that shoots harpoons at enemy units. The Harpooner will then reel in the enemy unit, and kicking them once in melee range. They are rather tough, and are dangerous as they pick on units one by one.
Appearance
This unit wears an open coat, undershirt, rolled-up beige pants, brown shoes, and a brown tricorn hat. It also has a fairly thick beard. The Harpooner wields a portable harpoon gun that has a sword-bayonet under the barrel.

Usage
The Harpooner primarily uses its harpoon gun. It reels units in and then kicks or stabs them, which can be pretty good against certain Units. Harpooners in groups can easily kill many weaker, medium-tier, or even boss units as their harpoons make it hard for units to attack back while the various harpooners attempt to stab and kick at the units.
When the adversary unit is reeled it is vulnerable to most attacks, and allied melee units can make use of that time by killing it. When the adversary come in close-quarters range, the Harpooner will try to stab or kick it to finish it off. Keep in mind, though, that reeling strong units is dangerous for them, for when it reels a Knight or a Swordcaster, the Knight can kill it the second it is in melee range, and Swordcaster when approaching it, also killing its allies on the way. Despite this, it is possible for the Harpooner to kill a Knight, as the harpoon shakes and moves the Knight around when moving, making it hard for the Knight to attack the Harpooner. In groups, it is certainly possible to kill a Knight, maybe even 2 Knights.
Harpooners can also be good against ranged units provided they're supported by other units, as they can pull in ranged units from a distance and kick and stab them. Even shielded units like the Shield Bearer have a hard time as the shield often helps the Harpooner to bring the unit in and kill them. However, tougher shield units like the Hoplite and Brawler can kill the Harpooner with difficulty.
