Grenades hit multiple units. Against archer masses or infantry blobs, Grenadiers deal devastating AoE damage.

+35 vs buildings makes Grenadiers excellent at destroying structures while also fighting.
Siege Killer
Area damage wrecks grouped siege weapons. A few grenades can destroy an entire siege line.
Critical Point
Only 50 HP with 0/0 armor. Extremely fragile. Cavalry catches and kills them instantly.

Coach's Tip
50 HP is fragile. Never let enemies get close. Use your range and splash to kill before they reach you.
