Strategic Analysis

The Urumi Swordsman is a **charged AoE infantry**. Movement builds charge for devastating first strikes.

  • Charge Attack: Move before attacking to build charge. First hit deals massive damage.
  • Area Damage: Whip sword hits multiple enemies. Devastating vs clumped units.
  • Gold Efficient: Only 20 gold. Very sustainable in long games.

Warning: **Low base damage without charge**. If you attack immediately after engaging, you deal only 9 damage.
