Strategic Analysis
The Siege Onager is the **game-ending splash weapon**. Few things survive its impact, making it the ultimate counter to massed armies.
- Army Wiper: One Siege Onager shot can kill 10+ Arbalests. The psychological pressure alone forces enemies to spread formations inefficiently.
- Cut Trees Strategically: Use attack-ground to open paths through forests. Create flanking routes or deny enemy escape paths.
- Defensive Anchor: A Siege Onager behind your wall acts as area denial. Enemies cannot mass units to attack without getting obliterated.
Warning: **Extreme friendly fire risk**. At 75 damage with huge splash, one misclick kills your own units. Use attack-ground commands and position your army carefully.
