Combat profile
The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.
- Hit points: 110
- Melee armor: 4
- Pierce armor: 1
- Range: 1
- Line of sight: 5
- Reload time: 1.5 seconds
- Movement speed: 1.42
- Accuracy: 100%
Field use
Use the unit where water control matters: protect fishing and transport routes, contest enemy ships, or support a landing. Its impact depends on the map’s shore access and the rest of the fleet.
Armor classes and counters
Armor-class bonuses are separate from base attack and the target’s melee or pierce armor. The class list below shows the unit’s documented combat categories and bonus-damage relationships; use it to judge matchups instead of relying on the unit label alone.
- War Hulk deals +1 bonus damage to units in the Standard building class
- War Hulk deals +1 bonus damage to units in the Fire ship class
Battlefield role and use
A stronger medium-age Hulk upgrade in the fast, close-range warship line. Available in the Castle Age. Training cost: 75 Wood, 35 Gold. Training time: 27 seconds. Its ranged role lets it contribute before melee units connect, but the army needs a screen and enough space to keep firing while it withdraws.
