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 Wardrummer. 

Yelder Strongwrist is key to your warband, as the one who keeps everyone in beat and acts as a support and healer

The first ability they unlock is Rhythm of Power, which, when cast, gives all ally units in range a damage buff for two turns, as well as switching the wardrum's aura to increase damage while in the vicinity of it

The Wardrummer can also be used offensively, with their basic but reliable A One-Two ability. This melee attack doesn’t deal much damage, but it can be used at the right moment to get your warband out of a tight situation

The Wardrummer is a support character, and they can unlock the Heartbeat ability and heal a single target twice, bringing them back to fighting fit form. After casting Heartbeat, the wardrum's aura switches to regen, giving units in range a small amount of health regen at the end of each turn

Loud Banging is a powerful area of effect magic attack, where you have to repeatedly mash the input key

to make the ability more damaging, and it can also apply marked to enemies, making them even more vulnerable.

Rhythm of Weakness is an ability which you can cast on your foes, and when successful, it will increase the amount of damage they take from your warband's attacks for two turns. Like the other abilities, it also changes the wardrum's aura to weakness, affecting any enemies in range.

Take it from the top, when used correctly is a very powerful ability in the Wardrummer's arsenal. When cast on an ally, this ability will reset their turn, allowing them to use their abilities again in the same turn cycle.

However, as it comes with a cost, it will damage the allies' HP based on how well you perform the rhythm stage. But if successful, this can turn the tide of battle in your favour

That was just a quick overview of some of the abilities the Wardrummer can unlock. They are an essential supporting unit for your warband to progress through the deadly biomes of the game in their quest to destroy the dark sorcery infecting the lands
