Smashers are tank-like enemies whose primary purpose is to smash through a fort's defenses to allow other monsters access. They have high health and will quickly demolish almost any type of Building. They also deal damage if the player gets struck by one. However, they do not directly damage the objective themselves.
They are first introduced during Stonewood Storm Shield Defense 4 and are primarily found in siege/defense Missions but they can be found patrolling and sleeping in the maps as well.
If Smashers are disturbed while patrolling or sleeping, then they will only attack players.
Abilities
- Slam - Slams the ground when attacked within melee range by heroes. Does high damage and knocks back.
- Charge - Charges in a straight line, knocking back heroes, along with high damage. After completing the charge, the smasher will be tuckered out and be unable to attack or move for a short moment. If the smasher targets the player, then their charge will chase the targeted player.
- Wall Crasher - Similar to charge but the smasher spins as it does so, devastating walls. A fully upgraded metal wall may be able to survive one of these, but will rarely survive another.
Strategies
- Creating false structures may draw a Smasher to attack it instead of the objective. This is especially useful in Storm Shield Defense missions as built structures persist between missions.
- Smashers are highly impact resistant, but weapons or traps with high enough impact can stop them during their charge. Be careful that lower levels of impact will simply be ignored by the Smasher, so it is not worth using low leveled impact traps if their goal is to deter Smashers.
- The Constructor ability Bull Rush will stop the charge if used against the smasher while its charging
- The Outlander ability TEDDY will also stop the charge if placed in the Smasher's way.
