The Boxer (Alpha) is a melee unit from the Misc faction. They are equipped with two red boxing gloves which it uses to rapidly punch its enemies. |
Characteristics[]
The Boxer is one of the most basic melee Units in the Pre-Alpha up until the Closed Alpha, but it was since removed until it made its reappearance as a Legacy Unit in Early Access 0.12.0. Its rapid punch makes it a decent ranged Unit, especially for weaker Units like the Peasant.
Appearance[]
The Boxer takes on the appearance of a basic Wobbler with slightly smaller round eyes. It wears two red boxing gloves which it uses to punch its enemies.
Usage[]
The Boxer is not used much due to its similarities to the Farmer. Despite its high attack speed, the Boxer is outshined by the Farmer due to its longer range. Much like the Peasant, the Boxer is best used in large groups due to their high movement speed allowing them to quickly reach their target and overwhelm the enemy army.
They are also quite effective at thinning hordes of Peasants, or most weaker Units. It rushes in and takes a few of them down while friendly ranged Units have time to pick off any stragglers. Despite this, it should be noted that their extremely short range makes them far less effective than Peasants that, while weaker, fill the horde role more effectively.
