What stands out

  • It is the most crop-efficient attacker to feed, with 80.0 attack for each crop it eats an hour, ahead of the Roman Imperian (70.0).
  • Its 160 attack is the most of any Viking troop.
  • At Smithy level 20 its attack rises from 160 to 196.8, a 23% 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.
