Thrall
A offensive infantry unit of the Vikings. Every figure below is produced by the same engine behind the calculators, so a stat here and a result there cannot disagree.
What stands out
- Pound for pound it is the cheapest attack in the game, at 17.0 attack per 100 resources, ahead of the Teuton Clubswinger (16.0).
- As a raider it has the second-best carry for its price, hauling 21 resources for every 100 spent training it.
- Trained non-stop in one level 20 Barracks on a 1x world, it adds the third-most attack per hour of any troop, 1,499.
- At Smithy level 20 its attack rises from 45 to 58.2, a 29% 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.
