Mercenary

[Red Mage]

Name: Mercenary
Job Class: Human Fighter

Description: Mercenaries are rogue warriors who would betray and kill their closest friends in order to get a fair payment. Their desire for money makes them go into a frenzy, increasing their strength, yet making them valnurable to attacks.

Hit Points: 44
Power: 20
Armor: 16
Blocking: 50% Front, 25% Side
Movement: 4
Recovery: 2
Target: 1

Lust: The Mercenary's craving for money makes them go into a frenzy that won't go away until the Mercenary is satisfied with his payment. The Mercenary attacks the unit in front of him, however his armor decreases by 4 and his attack is boosted by 2. You can only use this ability until the Mercenary's armor goes to zero (bonus armor from a Stone Golem for example are excluded). To activate, click and hold on the Mercenary instead of the red tiles during your attack phase. When the white tile beneath the Mercenary disappears, release the mouse to unleash the attack.

BORAT ASKS....." Is the mercenary a jew?"

It's a weaker knight in almost every respect. The only thing it has over a knight is movement, which is barely enough to balance the higher wait, let alone the vulnerability and the need to sacrifice armor for power.

If the armor-for-power exchange is permanent, he's almost a vulnerable dragon, which is OK. The gain is slowed by the lust ability, which serves to weaken him in a rush (a turtle will probably have time to use his Lust ability before the real battle starts).
