What stands out

  • Pound for pound it is the third-cheapest attack in the game, at 13.5 attack per 100 resources.
  • At Smithy level 20 its attack rises from 50 to 63.9, a 28% 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.
