In Wardrum, you command a warband of skilled warriors in their quest to destroy the dark sorcery infecting the lands.
In this video, we’re going to deep dive into a few abilities of the Warrior.
Baruk Bladestorm is your typical no-nonsense warrior, a highly trained swordsman who relishes in cutting his foes to ribbons and key damage-dealing member of your Warband.
One of their early unlockable abilities is Challenge, where the warrior selects an enemy to challenge, inflicting a mark on them, making them more vulnerable to damage. The Warrior will also enter a counter stance, which will allow them to attack any unit that comes into range during the enemy turn
Another ability the warrior can use is Visualize. Visualize lets you select another of the Warriors' abilities to buff in a following turn. Doing this can provide up to a 30% damage increase, as well as simplifying its rhythm phase to only use one button input.
If you want the Warrior to really hurt your enemies, you’ll want to unlock and use the Precise Cuts ability, which deals damage and, depending on your button inputs, can apply either Bleed or Slowed debuffs to your foe to really cause them pain.
The Warrior can also use the Lunge & Riposte ability, where they lunge forward 1 to 2 tiles and take a melee overwatch stance, ready to attack on the enemy's next turn. If, during the lunge, they are within range of an enemy unit, they will deal great damage to it. If an enemy unit enters the Warriors' Overwatch range on the next turn, it will trigger the Overwatch, where you can use the Warrior to attack again.
When fighting tougher opponents, be sure to use the Bladestorm ability with your Warrior. Bladestorm can be used against a single target, which hits 4 times, with a high critical chance, and is extremely effective at removing enemies from the battlefield.
That was just a quick overview of some of the abilities the Warrior can unlock. They are a very efficient damage-dealing unit for your warband to progress through the deadly biomes of the game in their quest to destroy the dark sorcery infecting the lands
