Harvester
The Harvester is a melee unit from the Farmer faction. They are equipped with the Scythe. |
Characteristics
The Harvester is a very tough and moderately powerful unit armed with a Scythe. They will use their Scythe to swing and cut at enemy units. Capable of surviving multiple shots, they have very high health and big size but slow movement speed. Considered the poor person's tank, they come with an expensive price, though among the cheap side for other tough units.
In combat, the Harvester's Scythe deals moderately high damage but has a slow cooldown, making them very vulnerable between each swing. Nevertheless, their big size and scythe allows them to sweep through groups of fragile units at once, with even enough power to send one into the air. They will also try to keep their distance and dash back from enemy units when they are too close for a good sweep.
Appearance
The Harvester is a Wobbler of big size wielding a Scythe. They don a simple brown hat and have brown hair with two long braids tied with team-colored bands. They also wear a team-colored ragged tunic with a beige collar that extends to their shoulders along with a pair of dim team-colored ragged pants that is belted with a rope. Their ragged clothing are patched with two light team-colored cloths stitched together with twine. In addition, they wear a pair of brown simple shoes that are tightened with rope.

Usage
Due to its damage arc when attacking, the Harvester unit is very good at crowd control against all kinds of medium to low health units. However, when close together this can also cause friendly fire.
It is very good against shield units because when it swings its scythe, the scythe can reach behind the shields. Their scythe deals a decent amount of damage, as it can one-shot most fodder, and can two-shot a Chieftain!
It can also one on one with a bit more tougher units (like Knights), however, it cannot deal with the extremely beefy units as most of them (King and Mammoth) can simply outlast the Harvester and the effect isn't that much to them. The high DPS and Health units easily wipe the floor with the Harvester.
It's also a good counter to The Teacher, as because of how big the scythe is, and how it's swung, The Teacher has almost no chance of dodging it.
Encounters
While considered the tank of the Farmer faction, the Harvester is often the main force of the Farmer army, appearing at the frontline and in dangerous groups. It is advised to invest on ranged units to take them down from a safe distance with some fodder to distract them.
