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

Low HP
Very fragile
Slow Speed
Can't escape cavalry
Coach's Tip
50 HP is fragile. Never let enemies get close. Use your range and splash to kill before they reach you.
