Protector 4 units

Hello, my name is Nicol Bolas and I am here to help Kongregate once more.

This time I realized, while playing myself, that Protector 4 doesnt sufficiently inform you of the specific skills of the units. So it´s hard to keep track of of, or decide which heroes to try.

For my own use, I decided to track it it, and share it with you. You are welcome to help or post any other thoughts on units.

The game itself infoms you of the type of units, damage, rate etc. so I will not post that, only the specific skills. Some pairs of basic – advanced units share the same skills, so I will post them together. Each unit has damage tree, and two other skill trees, which I will post.

Woodsman, Wanderer = critical, debuff

crossbowman = slow, armor piercing

archer(red), crossbow(red) = anti-air, armor piercing

alchemist = slow, infection

engineer, technomancer = splash, critical

axethrower, skirmisher = critical, anti-air

wizard = slow, elemental

archwizard = infection, teleport

paladin = consecrate, KtD

mage = debuff, elemental

archmage = debuff, teleport

archer(green), ranger = anti-air, critical

cultist = berserk, poison

trainee = debuff, elemental

barbarian = splash, berserk

cutpurse = gold, bleed

shadowdancer = splash, loot

thief = loot, bleed

augmented = armor piercing, critical

footmen = critical strike, armour piercing

knight = bleed, critical

shaman = slow, elemental

witch doctor = slow, infect

scavanger = loot, bleed

reaver = KtD, bleed

huscarl = berserk, additional damage

mage(chaos), warlock(chaos) = bleed, critical

watcher = KtD, infect

blessed = poison, berserk

archer: bonus damage flying+(not certain armor piercing)

anyway does anybody know what uses elemtal and consecrate have?

elemental further increases the bonuses for attacking a weak-to monster, while consecrate increases the damage dealt to strong-to monster

gentleman = gold, loot

patroler, defender = anti-air, blessing

Just finished my playthrough. I kept a spreadsheet running of all the new units I encountered, and the effects of different talents. If you’d like it, here’s the Google documents link for it. Should be pretty intuitive to understand. Sheet 1 has all the units, sheet 2 has all the talents I acquired. If you happen to know the effect for any talents I don’t have filled in, feel free to include them.

Charming Smile is +5% gold per quest. Your spreadsheet isn’t generally open to edit, so I can’t add it.

dnevill, why did you assign each unit an element? each unit can be any element depending on which hero it is assigned to.

I filled in the element I initially found the unit to have. As I was creating this, I didn’t know how many heroes were available from each faction, and therefore whether you could naturally get a given unit for any element. But you are quite right, all you need to do is get the unit on a hero of the appropriate element, and scrolls or element changing artifacts easily solve this. Since it’s such a small column (and doesn’t interfere with readability), and it’s hard to afford to change elements or units early on, I chose to leave it there.

@Ryo, thank you for your help filling in those talents. Only 15 to go!

spearman = elemental consecrate
gladiator = armor percing and elemental

Craftsman = tiny chance to create item.

what does it mean when an item says live 4
i manage to find out what power4 means but otherwise no luck. anyone out there?

It means you get 4 more lives for enemies getting to the end.

Are there side quests for every faction? I’m almost done the main story line with my lowest reputation being “liked” yet there are only three factions that have offered side quests. Rangers, Gentlemen and Council.

If anyone could help me out here that’d be great

i have trouble in obtaining the 3 talents of stolen gold.. can anyone help me?

apparently you need to steal the amount of gold stated on 1 map

so you should chose a map with not too little waves were your units can hit a lot

and obviously you need units that have the ability to steal gold – the guild of gentlemen got those

Great sheet but you’ve calculated DPS totaly wrong, it should be D*S not D/S (a high speed does not give a lower DPS :)

Still, good work. Thx!

..also, Kingdom of Arkandia does not have a warlock, you’ve filled this unit in twice (belongs to Chaotic Covenant)
