Strategic Analysis
Tactical Identity
The Siege Onager is the **game-ending splash weapon**. Few things survive its impact, making it the ultimate counter to massed armies.
Tactical Playbook
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.
Critical Point
**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.
Understanding The Stats
The Siege Onager is rare and expensive but unmatched in area destruction. A game-changer when available.
Devastating Attack
One-shots most units in the blast radius. Grouped archers evaporate.
Massive Splash
Largest splash in the game. Covers more area than any other siege.
Expensive Upgrade
Very costly but worth it. Changes the dynamic of late-game fights.
Limited Access
Rare upgrade. Having it is a significant advantage over enemies without it.
Coach's Tip
Your 70 HP is still low for such an expensive unit. Protect your investment - losing a Siege Onager is losing 1450 food and 1000 gold plus the base cost.
