Knowing your troop types is key in whether you want to build a large or small warband in turn-based squad RPG Wartales. If you’re adding a warrior to your ranks for the first time read on for my Wartales warrior build guide.
Wartales Warrior Build Guide
The warrior is one of the three melee troop types in Wartales that are potential tanks, alongside thebrute and swordsman classes. In terms of typical fantast archetypes the brute is your barbarian and your swordsman is the traditional tin can defensive and buffing fighter. I like warriors as they’rejack-of-all-trades fighters, able to do both.
Every warrior must choose between a two-handed axe or a one-handed axe and shield combo. I like to have my warriorson the front line, so tend togive them a shield. This leaves the two-hander damage to the brutes, who are a better fit for it. Front your swordsman up against the toughest enemies and then put your warriors on the slightly squishier ones andwatch them wreak havoc.
