Strategic Analysis
Tactical Identity
The **Armor Crusher**. A durable frontline unit that acts as a force multiplier for your other units by debuffing enemies.
Tactical Playbook
Armor Stripping
Even if they don't kill the target, removing armor makes the enemy vulnerable to everything else. A Paladin hit 3 times by an Obuch dies instantly to Arbalesters.
Anti-Trash
Because they have high HP and strip armor, they excel in prolonged fights against Hussars and Halberdiers, where they can grind down the opponent cost-effectively.
Massing
With a fast train time (12s) and low cost (25g), you can flood the map with them faster than your opponent can mass expensive counters.
Critical Point
Weak to **Hand Cannoneers**. Their high armor doesn't help against Gunpowder, and they lack the speed to close the gap quickly. Archers can also kite them effectively.
Understanding The Stats
A stat block designed for attrition. High HP allows them to stay in the fight long enough for their armor-stripping mechanic to turn the tide.
The Debuff
Permanent reduction per hit. Works on units, not buildings. Floor is 0.
Tankiness
Elite Obuch has significantly higher HP than a Champion (70), making them great tanks.
Economy
Very light on gold. You can sustain production much longer than typical unique units.
Coach's Tip
Your 95 HP (Elite) and low gold cost make you the PERFECT attrition unit. Flood the field with Obuchs - even if they die, every hit strips permanent armor from enemies.
