This troop is a tank that can be useful for either a strong push or defense. It's also a good counter for Unbound units and spells thanks to the Lightning Rod talent. Meanwhile, senior game designer Brendan Farrell also emphasized how Ancient of War is a flexible melee unit with a variable gold cost.
"He'll use all of your current gold when deployed, but for each gold he uses, he gets bigger, healthier, and stronger," Farrell said. "He can be anything between a little dude and a towering giant."
