Matchup & timing
The Militia Officer is a 500-hit-point hero with 10% ranged resistance who claims Treasures and has two separate high-impact attacks: a 750-damage Sharpshooter at range 16 and a charged 60-damage Carbine attack at range 20, with a 45-second recharge. Its ordinary 15-damage ranged attack has 3× damage against Treasure Guardians and only 0.25× against Villagers. Use the Sharpshooter against an appropriate mission or map target and retain the charged attack for the next dangerous engagement. The hero collapses at zero health and needs to regenerate 100 hit points before a nearby friendly unit or building can revive it, so do not leave it exposed after using its special attacks.
Canadian hero combat profile
Militia Officer is a hero for Canada and Canadians in Definitive Edition. It has 500 hit points, 10% ranged resistance, speed 4.5 and line of sight 20, and it can claim Treasures. Its ordinary ranged attack deals 15 damage at range 16 every three seconds; the hand and siege attacks each deal 6 or 15 damage respectively. The hero also has a powerful 750-damage Sharpshooter attack and a charged 60-damage Carbine attack at range 20. These named attacks make the Officer dangerous when used at the right range, but the hero still needs support and can be overwhelmed by Treasure guardians or enemy troops. If reduced to zero hit points, it collapses rather than dying permanently; after regenerating to 100 hit points, a friendly unit or building nearby can revive it. Use the Officer to scout and claim manageable Treasures, then retreat behind the army when weakened. Keep a friendly unit close in case it collapses, and avoid using the charged or Sharpshooter attack on low-priority targets before a major engagement.
Sharpshooter and Carbine attacks
The Officer’s 750-damage Sharpshooter attack and charged 60-damage Carbine attack are distinct from its ordinary 15-damage ranged shot. Use the Sharpshooter against a valuable target when its long attack interval and range 16 are appropriate, and save the charged Carbine shot for a target that can be reached at range 20. The hero can also claim Treasures, so scouting and combat are both part of its role. Avoid taking unnecessary damage during the interaction: at zero health it collapses and must regenerate to 100 with a friendly unit or building nearby before revival. Keep support close, withdraw between fights and avoid using the strongest attacks on low-value targets before a required engagement.
Hero recovery
If the Officer collapses, keep a friendly unit or building nearby while it regenerates to 100 hit points. Protect that recovery window, then resume Treasure scouting or combat when the hero is safe.
Treasure and recovery strategy
The Officer can claim Treasures and has strong charged attacks, but should not be traded for a reward that the escort cannot secure. Withdraw early enough for regeneration and keep an ally nearby if it collapses.
Choosing attack modes
Use the long-range Sharpshooter attack on a high-value target, and preserve the charged Carbine shot for a target within range 20. The ordinary ranged attack remains available between these special attacks.
Canada hero utility
The Officer’s line of sight helps scout before a Treasure attempt, and its attack profiles give it several ways to contribute. Keep it near friendly support when claiming a reward.
Canadian treasure hero and charged shots
The Canadian Militia Officer is a 500-hit-point Hero with 10% ranged resistance, speed 4.5 and line of sight 20. It claims Treasures and has a 15-damage ranged attack at range 16, including a 3× bonus against Treasure Guardians. Its Sharpshooter attack deals 750 damage to Guardians only and has a 60-second cooldown, while the charged Carbine attack deals 60 damage at range 20 and recharges in 45 seconds. If reduced to zero hit points, the Officer collapses and can be revived after it regenerates 100 hit points while a friendly unit or building is nearby. This kit is suited to exploration and difficult Treasure encounters, but the long cooldowns make the special attacks limited tools rather than continuous firepower. Clear the approach, use the Guardian-specific shot on a valuable guarded site, then withdraw and protect the Officer’s recovery if it falls.
