What stands out

  • At 16 fields per hour it is the second-fastest troop in the game, level with the Hun Steppe Rider and Spartan Elpida Rider.
  • Its 115 defence against infantry is the third-highest of any troop in the game.
  • At Smithy level 20 its attack rises from 45 to 64.6, a 43% gain.

Smithy upgrades

Each smithy level raises a stat by a fraction of its base plus a term scaled by crop consumption. The crop term is why a unit’s gain is not simply a percentage of its base stat: relative to their stats, high-upkeep units gain the most.
