— Sledger

The Sledger is a unit of the Wolf Clan.

Overview

Often Lotus Overseers would order large shale slabs broken down into manageable chunks, and this job fell to the Sledgers. Wolf Clan slaves undertook the job with gusto, as it appealed to their natural instincts - hitting something repeatedly until it fell apart. The tool of choice was an oversized hammer, and under Grayback's direction this simple job became the training ground for a secret fighting style based around single, shattering strikes.

Sledgers complain that no one understands the intellectual side of their discipline - their keen eye for structural weaknesses, and the mental focus necessary for maximum breaking power.

Usage

The Sledger is a powerful Tier-2 unit that deals good damage to other units and great damage against buildings. A handful of these giant men with oversized hammers can demolish enemy buildings very quickly. They are also rather tough and surprisingly quick.

After receiving blessing from a Druidess, the Sledger's Stun Slam will stun any enemies inside a big radius. Shale Armor will toughen up these units, enabling them to demolish even more buildings as well increasing their resistance against explosive and magic damage.

Battle Gear

	Stun Slam	Stamina: 70%		Shale Armor	Passive
Can be granted by Druidess' Blessing.			Requirements: Shalery
The Stun Slam was invented by a notoriously inaccurate Sledger, whose missed attacks would sometimes throw bystanders off their feet. When inspired to great force by a Druidess blessing, the Sledger can stun units for a wide area with a single blow to the earth.			All Wolf units may adorn themselves in thick armor made of shale, greatly boosting defense against most types of damage.

Trivia

• The Sledger unit was originally named Jishin (地震 - a Chinese compound-noun, fittingly meaning "earthquake," loaned into Japanese), and he was initially designed to be a Zen Master belonging to the Dragon Clan.
• Sledger is an obvious parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
